Is ‘RHOBH’ Canceled? Why Fans Are Concerned About Season 16
What To Know
- Bravo announced a long list of renewals at the NBC Upfronts on May 11.
- The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was not included on the list, sparking concern about the show’s future.
- Kyle Richards weighed in amid fears that RHOBH is being canceled.
At the NBC Upfronts on May 11, Bravo made major programming announcements, including the renewals of 14 shows. Those renewals included The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, The Real Housewives of Potomac, The Real Housewives of New York City, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey, among others. These five join The Real Housewives of Orange County, which previously received a renewal and will premiere its 20th season this summer.
Missing from the list, though, was one of the longest-running Housewives franchises: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The final reunion episode of Season 15 aired on May 7, just days before the upfronts, but it has yet to be confirmed for a Season 16.
To be clear, the show is not officially canceled by Bravo, although its future remains up in the air at this point, which has left fans quite concerned. RHOBH generally films over the summer, so the lack of renewal news seems to hint that production won’t begin as usual this year.
OG cast member Kyle Richards recently jumped into the Instagram comments section to weigh in on the situation. When one person suggested that “it must be on pause because it’s not listed on the *renewed* list Bravo posted today,” Richards replied, “not on pause.”
The overall response to Season 15 of RHOBH, and other recent seasons in general, has not been overwhelmingly positive. This season started with drama involving newcomer Amanda Frances and some of the other cast members, particularly Dorit Kemsley. By the end of the season, the focus was on tension between Kemsley and Richards/Erika Jayne, which has been an ongoing storyline for a few years now.
Many fans have suggested casting changes for the series moving forward. RHONY previously overhauled its entire cast, while RHONJ will only feature three returning members in its upcoming 15th season.
Do you think RHOBH will move forward with another season? Or is it time for the show to end? Let us know in the comments section below.

I've been watching since day 1. It is sad to see every member single, real sad Mo n Kyle separated there was at least that but the devil there, too, Kyle decided she didn't have enough and went for a woman and then nothing, no mentions of that. A cliff is all there is. Kathy being the boss is hikarious bc yes she has miney nut her clithes and fetishes are so boring! Kind Boz hast turned mean (toward Amanda) but Amanda is an interesting newcomer and everyone's ganging up on her. Why? It's awful to watch. Dorit got rid of her cheap brand look but it fudn't help, she, like Kyle, wants more and there usn't anything but anger. Both had really good men. I loved Camille, she was interesting n knows how to dress what happened there? Sutton is darling but she's being a backstabber to Amanda and is it fake acting? All in all I think Dorit needs to go, no sense of humor st all and a few new cast members-any more trust fund babies independantly wealthy?

I LOVE RHOBH!!! Please DO NOT CANCEL 😭 being obsessed since the start, and it's the ONLY one i watch, ive tried to get into others and just can't, i enjoy following the same people through the years. I used to love dorit but she's gone mean girl off the deep end, the strong woman needs to come back, she could take a page from Erikas book honestly. Kyle was just trying to look out for her in every way, but dorit of course took offense. Im proud of Sutton she's such a better person sober!!! I feel bad for Amanda, these girls judgy and mean to her for literally NO REASON just making shit up, stop putting that woman's business down don't matter if you approve of how she make her money she there now so it's her personality that matters. Anyways, please bring them back ASAP!!!

Kyle needs taking down a peg or too, she thinks cos she’s been there the longest that makes her the “boss bully”, it drives me mad watching them and saying we are girls girls and support our friends, balls, Kyle gets her minions to pick on those who are struggling and when they don’t she chirps in and does it herself. Anyone find it interesting how she told Dorit not to talk about her divorce, but then went to everyone and talked about it, and the exact things PK is using against Dorit now is what Kyle was saying- “too much shopping on expensive holidays”, really?? That’s a friend??? Not a friend I would ever want thanks.
