The very first trailer for The Real Housewives of Rhode Island premiered today at BravoCon, and let’s just say… the smallest state in the country just unleashed some very big energy!
The cast looks glamorous, the one-liners are sharp, and the drama already feels like it’s marinated in Del’s, Ocean State gossip, and generational family beef.
The premiere season will follow Alicia Carmody, Rosie DiMare, Ashley Iaconetti, Liz McGraw, Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, Kelsey Swanson and Jo-Ellen Tiberi as they navigate friendships, marriages, businesses, rumors, reputations, Rhode Island pride, and whatever else the 401 has brewing behind those perfectly manicured doors.
And yes, the women are exactly what you’d want from a brand-new Housewives city! There’s Liz McGraw, who’s called “the Cannabis Queen of Rhode Island,” and Jo-Ellen Tiberi, lovingly labeled “the FBI agent of the group.” We don’t even know what that means yet, but we’re obsessed already.
In the teaser, the ladies acknowledge that Rhode Island may look tiny on a map, “but to us, it’s the center of the universe.” And honestly? Same.
Bravo described the new franchise with a logline that tells you everything you need to know: “They may live in the smallest state, but their drama is extra large.”
With luxury homes, business empires, influencer energy, legacy family names, beauty queens, media personalities, entrepreneurs and the type of social circles where everyone knows everything, it feels like Bravo struck gold.
The series doesn’t air until 2026, but if the trailer is any indication, this might become one of the most quotable, and chaotic, Housewives debuts yet.
Rhode Island, welcome to the Bravoverse. The rest of the country… buckle up!
