Andy Cohen, the host of 'Watch What Happens Live, ' recently shared updates on the 'Real Housewives' franchise while in Miami for Bravo Fan Fest. The future of 'The Real Housewives of Dubai' is uncertain after a temporary pause. Cohen explained that the show's success depends on the balance between new shows and the fan favorites. He's not rushing to decide on 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' (RHONJ) after a dramatic season. Instead, he's focusing on the upcoming season of 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta' and 'Miami, ' which are already shaping up to be hits. The reboot of 'The Real Housewives of New York City' (RHONY) has been a mixed bag. Cohen thinks the new cast has interesting personal stories, but the group dynamics could use some work. He believes in the potential of the new cast, especially their aspirational lifestyles and fashion. The old RHONY had a long run, but life changes for the original cast members led to a natural shift. Cohen is optimistic about the future of the new RHONY. Bravo's strong brand and fan base have led to successful live events like BravoCon and Bravo Fan Fest. Cohen sees the spinoff of Comcast's cable networks, excluding Bravo, as a vote of confidence in the network's strength. He's relieved and gratified by the decision, especially because of Bravo's strong partnership with Peacock. Overnight ratings have become less important in the streaming era. Cohen believes it's more crucial to look at the bigger picture of viewership, which has changed due to different watching habits.
