Bravo TV‘s newest franchise, Real Housewives of Rhode Island, is making a big splash for the network.
Set in the Ocean State, the show delivered on its promise to bring big drama from America’s smallest state … and fans are thrilled!
Bravo did the thing:
After a lull in Bravo programming, the network is on a positive trajectory with RHORI.
According to reports from Deadline, the premiere episode earned 2.7M viewers across platforms in seven days after its April 2nd premiere.
Those numbers make it Bravo’s biggest multi-platform series premiere since 2024. RHORI now also lays claim to the most-watched series or season premiere of all time for a Bravo original on Peacock in its first 7 days.
NBCU reported that RHORI’s episode 4 saw an 11% increase in viewership on Peacock compared to the first three episodes, based on the three-day average minute audience.
That’s not all …
The buzz around the premiere has translated into sustained attention on the latest addition to the Real Housewives franchise.
As with many of Bravo’s biggest shows, the series is a conversation starter online. RHORI has generated 60M impressions and 33.5M video views across social media platforms since its first announcement at BravoCon 2025.
Evolution Media produces the Real Housewives of Rhode Island, while Andy Cohen also serves as executive producer.
