While Bravo is finished creating new versions of its Real Housewives franchise, the network has, for the first time, cancelled one of the seven versions. The Real Housewives of DC has been axed after one season.
The Washington Post reports that “Bethesda-based Half Yard Productions contacted the cast to let them know Washington’s contribution to Bravo’s hot docu-soap franchise would not be picked up for a second season.”
And in an e.mail to the newspaper, Andy Cohen said, “We had an amazing season and we told stories that were unique to any other in the franchise. I wish all our DC Wives the best and hope to work with them again in another capacity.” Of course, it wasn’t that amazing or it’d be back; you can probably read “unique” as a euphemism for “not at all what we want from Housewives.”
The paper notes that the season did okay, with 1.4 million viewers, and, of course, generated a lot of headlines, but it lost viewers over time and didn’t grab younger people, who want more batshit crazy in their housewives.
