Bravo TV most recently took on Rhode Island as the Housewives‘ franchise’s home, but it’s rumored that another installment, Real Housewives of Montana, is already being ordered.
Yellowstone may meet reality TV in Montana’s wealthy Gallatin County area.
The Sun reported “The team that produces RHOBH and RHOC is in the weeds of making a Real Housewives of Montana happen.”
“They are focusing on Gallatin County, which has become one of the fastest growing and wealthiest suburbs in the country. There’s a big tech boom there, so they are looking for a mix of outsiders who moved there for work. But, also old money that has been there for generations.”
“The Yellowstone Club is there, which is an extremely prestigious and expensive, members-only country club that they are hoping to film at.”
Bravo is looking to cast an actual friend group with connections and drama that go way back versus casting a bunch of individual people and having them all hang out together. The source spilled, “They want a real, authentic friend group that already has a deep history with each other.”
As for when Bravo will start production, apparently, “They’d like to find a solid cast by the end of the year and start test shooting in early 2027.”
Gallatin County sits in the heart of southwest Montana, with Bozeman serving as its main city and the Rocky Mountains providing a picturesque backdrop to the town.
The money gets particularly serious around Big Sky, where Montana’s rustic image collides spectacularly with luxury real estate. Big Sky has become Montana’s most expensive real estate market, with a median listing price of roughly $3 million as of December 2025.
The area’s pricey membership-only Yellowstone Club is exactly the kind of location that could make Bravo executives’ eyes light up as it serves as a local playground for the ultra-wealthy.
The so-called “Yellowstone effect” has been particularly noticeable around Montana’s ranching and resort communities. Tourism officials and businesses are reporting increased interest from people inspired by the series.
