It’s no secret that the Real Housewives have impacted modern culture in a significant way.
Not only have the flagship franchises garnered millions of international viewers, but fan favorites have also transitioned from an ensemble cast to a show focused solely on them.
While there have been many Real Housewives spinoffs, many ‘Wives have proven to do their best work in an ensemble cast. Others have main character energy.
Without further ado, here’s a complete list of Real Housewives spinoffs!

Jo De La Rosa
2008’s eight-episode spin-off followed original RHOC cast member Jo De La Rosa after her messy breakup with her fiancé, Slade Smiley.
