The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is just one series in a franchise that showcases the lives of rich housewives across the United States. For the past decade, these women have opened their homes to us, shared intimate details of their relationships, and invited us along to the lavish parties they throw.
While RHOBH’s unique ability to blend drama, comedy, and luxury can not be perfectly replicated, there are many other shows with a similar essence. If you need something to watch while waiting for the new season to air in July, here’s a couple of shows that will surely keep you entertained until then.
Vanderpump Rules
If you’re a fan of Lisa Vanderpump, from RHBOH, you will love Vanderpump Rules. This show focuses on the drama between the people that work for Vanderpump’s restaurants SUR, Villa Blanca and TomTom set in West Hollywood.
Not only does this spin-off give insight into Vanderpump’s life working as a restaurant owner but it also frequently features other cast members from RHOBH. Another major similarity between the two shows is that there is an unbelievable amount of drama that ensues between the extremely close friend group.
Summer House
Summer House revolves around a friend group of wealthy New Yorkers who spend their weekends at a house they rent in Montauk during their summers. The group of nine twenty-somethings use this house to escape the stress of city life and fill their weekends with booze, bonfires, and brunches.
If you are someone who likes to watch RHOBH for the drama then Summer House is certainly the perfect fit. Much like RHOBH, the dynamic of the friend group in Summer House is constantly changing with each episode and new alliances and enemies are always being formed.
Real Housewives Of Orange County
Considering that The Real Housewives franchise consists of seven different sets of housewives, none have proved to be as iconic as the ones in Orange County. The ladies of Orange County are very similar to the Beverly Hills housewives because they are also from Southern California.
RHOC started in 2006 and is the series that launched the franchise. It still stars some of the original housewives, who live in luxurious mansions, has a penchant for plastic surgery, and an inability to stay out of trouble.
Real Housewives Of New York
While The Real Housewives of Orange County certainly has a lot in common with RHOBH, its true counterpart is The Real Housewives of New York City.
RHONY showcases a group of successful women who live the life of big city socialites, while also raising their children and advancing their businesses. These women are fiercely independent, loyal to their core, and know how to have a good time.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians
Keeping Up with The Kardashians stars one of the most famous families in the United States and perhaps the entire world. For over a decade, fans have been able to see behind-the-scenes of this empire. From sister feuds to proposals, to the aftermath of a robbery, the Kardashians have shared even the most intimate parts of their lives with their viewers.
If your favorite part of RHOBH is-the jet-setting, lavish parties, and more heartfelt moments then you will enjoy watching KUWTK.
Southern Charm
Southern Charm is set in Charleston, South Carolina, and focuses on a group of friends from families that have a deep history. The series gives insight into the very private world of Southern Aristocracy and its traditional social scene.
Luckily for the viewers, while the cast of the series is dedicating to preserving their family names, they are also willing to let loose and share their problems on the screen. From little arguments between old friends to full-blown scandals that make national news, Southern Charm is packed to the brim with drama.
Shahs Of Sunset
Shahs of Sunset takes place in Los Angeles and follows a group of six Persian-American friends as they struggle to make it in LA while also attempting to stay true to their roots and manage their families’ expectations of them.
All of the main characters have very active dating lives, burgeoning careers, and are very involved in the social scene of LA. This show currently has eight seasons that can easily be binged on Hulu or Peacock TV.
What What Happens Live
If you’re a fan of Bravo shows or really any reality shows, one will love Watch What Happens Live. Since 2009, former Bravo programming executive, Andy Cohen, has been hosting this live talk show. The show is filmed in front of a live studio office, and even has a designated area for musical performances.
Cohen loves to talk about pop culture throughout the show and often plays games with his celebrity guests. Cohen frequently has the housewives as guests so that they can give insight into the show when new episodes air.
Total Bellas
Total Bellas stars WWE stars, Nikki and Brie Bella. The series gives a behind the scenes look at the world of professional wrestling as well as some insight into what life is like for the twins outside of the spotlight.
Total Bellas showcases the twins’ unbreakable bond, relationships with other WWE stars, and how they have expanded their careers to include other business ventures. The series premiered on E! back in 2016 and is currently in its sixth season with new episodes airing every Thursday evening.
Don't Be Tardy
Don’t Be Tardy stars former The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak. She began her spin-off series in 2012 by showing the months leading up to her marriage to Atlanta Falcons football player, Kroy Biermann. Over the past few years, the show has evolved to showcase the daily life of Kim and Kroy and their family.
The most recent season, season 8, premiered in October of this year and is following the family as they road trip across the country in an RV before Ariana heads off to college.
