Bravo is staring off the new year with a bang! 2023 was arguably the reality TV juggernaut’s biggest year ever. Especially because of a certain scand(ov)al that became international news. Not to mention, a reboot that exceeded expectations. And many shows in the flagship Real Housewives franchise had seasons that were heralded as a return to form. Even a reality reckoning couldn’t stop the momentum.
Will 2024 be bigger and better? The bar’s been raised pretty high. But there’s a lot to get excited for in the first month of the year alone! Mark your calendars, because we’re giving you a breakdown of all the Bravo shows and Bravo-adjacent content coming in January.
Vanderpump Rules Season 11 Premieres January 30th
Vanderpump Rules was on the brink of cancellation before the Emmy-nominated Season 10 brought the show back to life. Excitement waned a bit in the post-Scandoval hangover. But the Season 11 trailer looks incredible, teasing plenty of shocking reveals (Tom Schwartz and Scheana Shay did WHAT???) and juicy drama (Schwartz and Katie Maloney are dating the same girl??) to keep us hooked.
Now, we’re counting down the days until it returns on Tuesday, January 30th. Episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
January is also a big month for the side projects of Vanderpump Rules stars, past and present. On January 29th, the day before Season 11 premieres, Ariana Madix will make her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago.
Rachel Leviss, aka the woman behind Scandoval, left the show. But she’s also making a big comeback in January. Her recently announced podcast, Rachel Goes Rogue, premieres the same month as VPR Season 11. We’re sure that’s not a coincidence, and it’s one thing that makes this podcast extra shady.
Katie and Ariana’s long-awaited Something About Her sandwich shop is also supposed to open in January. But it’s been delayed so many times, we’ll believe it when we see it.
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 4 Reunion
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City had a comeback year, rebounding after a dud Season 3. Fans have enjoyed episodes filled with quotable fights in silly costumes. And now that the cast trip to Bermuda is underway, we’ll soon find out the truth behind THAT emotional Heather Gay phone call.
It all leads up to the Season 4 finale on December 19, 2023. But as fans know, even more drama happened after filming wrapped—namely, the Beauty Lab lawsuit between Heather and Monica Garcia. The two ladies got along all season, but after Monica’s betrayal, the reunion is supposedly an all-out war.
The RHOSLC Season 4 reunion is set to air in January. Based on everything we know so far, it’s gonna be a must-watch. We don’t know the exact number of episodes yet, but Andy Cohen predicts it will be at least three parts. And, as with all Housewives reunions going forward, fans who subscribe to Peacock get the bonus of uncensored reunion episodes the next day.
Southern Charm Season 9 Finale & Reunion
Southern Charm is another show that had its best season in ages this year. Clearly, love triangles make for great drama.
Southern Charm seasons typically have 15 episodes, so the season finale is expected to air in early January. Bravo also recently shared the Season 9 reunion seating chart.
Leva Bonaparte‘s spin-off, Southern Hospitality, will also continue to air new episodes of its second season in January.
RHUGT: RHONY Legacy
2023 was a big year for fans of the Real Housewives of New York. The RHONY reboot was a success, but there was plenty for vintage RHONY fans to love too. After Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake, Bravo and Peacock are capping off the year with a new edition of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, subtitled RHONY Legacy.
The series begins on December 14th, and new episodes are subsequently available to stream every Thursday. It replaced another RHUGT season on the Bravo schedule, The Ex-Wives Club, which may get tabled for good. RHONY Legacy will continue to air through January, making the post-holiday blues a little less awful.
Below Deck Med Season 8 Finale (and Reunion?)
Previous seasons of Below Deck Mediterranean usually have 17 episodes, so we expect Season 8’s finale to air in January. The real question is, can fans also expect a reunion? In past Below Deck reunions, Andy Cohen’s hosting skills were frequently panned. Maybe the reunion criticism finally got to him, because this year, Below Deck Season 10 and Below Deck Down Under Season 2 didn’t have one.
Reunion or no, there will be plenty of Below Deck content for fans to enjoy in 2024.
What Other Bravo Shows Air New Episodes In January?
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13, Real Housewives of Potomac Season 8, and Real Housewives of Miami Season 6 will all continue through January. It seems 2024 will have no shortage of content, and that’s something to celebrate.
