One of the most loved shows from The Real Housewives Franchise, The Real Housewives of Potomac also called RHOP, is going to premiere with their all-new Season 7 this fall. We’ll be seeing much more spicy drama this time between Mia, Karen, and Gizelle. Cheating rumors, prenups, and shadiest comebacks, the women leave no stone unturned to bring you the dramatic and entertaining side of Reality TV.
Since its conception in 2006, the franchise has had several similar shows being released both in and out of America. The Real Housewives of Potomac first started airing on January 17, 2016. Its success led to another 6 seasons over the years. It is reported that the show had almost 2.5 million views in the first season. Which is almost comparable to the views of the famous show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
The series had 6 women, all from wealthy families of Potomac, come together and be a part of the show where their lives are documented and shared with the rest of the world. Potomac is the sixth-richest city in America, so these aren’t just any normal families. With some of the original members leaving the show and a few being added with new seasons, It’ll be exciting to see which women would be a part of the 7th season.
