Bravo is spicing up its Real Housewives empire with a fresh franchise set in the tiniest state.

One cast member's got Bachelor Nation ties, and there's a familiar face from RHONJ as a Friend Of.
Hold onto your martinis, because Bravo just unleashed the trailer for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island on Thursday, February 5. As the franchise gears up for its milestone 20th anniversary next year, this new addition promises drama that's anything but small—fitting for Rhode Island, the tiniest state in the country. Per Bravo's logline: “They may live in the smallest state in the country, but their drama? Extra large. As The Real Housewives hits its milestone 20th anniversary next year, Bravo is expanding the distinguished franchise with “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” spotlighting a fresh, charismatic group of women whose lives intertwine across the storied coastline of New England luxury.”
The cast is a mix of newbies and familiar faces that'll have fans buzzing. There's one star straight from The Bachelor Nation—hello, crossover appeal!
