So. Many. Shows. Bravo is proud to announce new shows and returning favorites, and we're not even going to pretend we could explain this any better than a video and our own press release, so here ya go! Show your fandom in the Comments below!
NEW SERIES:
“Silicon Valley” (working title)
Teaming up with internet entrepreneur Randi Zuckerberg, Bravo captures the intertwining lives of young professionals on the path to becoming Silicon Valley’s next great success stories.
“Life After Top Chef”
For the first time cameras are taken outside of the Top Chef kitchen and into the lives of Bravo’s most beloved former cheftestants as they reach milestones in their personal lives and culinary careers. From opening their own restaurants to expanding their growing franchises, viewers will follow Jen Carroll in Philadelphia, Richard Blais in Atlanta, Fabio Viviani in Los Angeles, and Spike Mendelsohn in D.C.
“Below Deck” (working title)
The upstairs and downstairs worlds collide when this young and single crew of "yachties" live, love and work together onboard a luxurious mega yacht while tending to the ever-changing needs of their wealthy, demanding charter guests.
“Huh?” (working title)
Ever wonder who is behind those hilarious cat memes? Bravo goes inside the office of Ben Huh and his eclectic staff at icanhascheezburger.com, one of the largest humor publishers on the Internet known for their popular LOLs and FAILs.
“SUR” (working title)
Best known as one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa Vanderpump opens the salacious kitchen doors of her exclusive Hollywood restaurant and lounge, SUR. Declaring it the sexiest establishment she’s ever owned and “the place you take your mistress,” Lisa rules over her lively and mischievous staff with a platinum fist.
“Miss Advised”
These single relationship experts can’t seem to practice what they preach as Amy Laurent in New York, Emily Morse in San Francisco, and Julia Allison in Los Angeles struggle to stay afloat in the deep end of the dating pool.
“Newlyweds: The First Year”
From the moment they say “I do” to their one-year anniversary, cameras capture diverse couples across the coasts experiencing the trials and tribulations of their first year of marriage.
“Gallery Girls” (working title)
Viewers are introduced to seven young women who dream of living a chic and fashionable existence in New York City. Chantal Chadwick, Kerri Lisa, Liz Margulies, Claudia Martinez, Angela Pham, Amy Poliakoff and Maggie Schaffer all share a passion for art, but are divided amongst their Manhattan and Brooklyn lifestyles with vastly different attitudes and tastes towards fashion, art and men.
“LA Shrinks” (working title)
It takes one to treat one! The professional and personal lives of dynamic experts are exposed as they counsel a wide array of clients at some of the top private practices in Los Angeles.
“Decades” (working title)
Renowned boutique owners, Christos Garkinos and Cameron Silver, show off their exclusive and glamorous world of vintage couture filled with Givenchy, Balenciaga and Chanel.
“The Kandi Factory”
Driven by the success of the special that aired in March, Bravo has greenlit Season 1 of “The Kandi Factory,” starring multi-platinum songwriter and The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss. Protégés with no music industry experience are given the opportunity to work with Burruss’ team of experts in Atlanta to master the key elements that will turn them into a pop star.
NEW SCRIPTED DEVELOPMENT:
“22 Birthdays” (working title) focuses on the sordid and scandalous activities of a group of parents at an exclusive private school, with each episode centered around an extravagant and lavish birthday party. The project comes to Bravo from UCP Studios, writers and executive producers Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein and executive producers Doug Liman and Dave Bartis from Hypnotic.
“Blowing Sunshine” (working title) is set at a fictional private rehabilitation center and follows its staff and high profile patients. The project comes to Bravo from writer and executive producer Jason Ning (Perception, 90210)

Bravo’s fan favorite series and memorable characters return as the network confirmed new season orders for Flipping Out Season 6, Tabatha Takes Over Season 5 and Million Dollar Decorators Season 2 will be back with LA designers Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Kathryn Ireland, Jeffrey Alan Marks and Mary McDonald. Celebrity chef Curtis Stone returns this summer to host Top Chef Masters Season 4 and real estate magnets Madison Hildebrand, Josh Altman and Josh Flagg are back for Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles Season 5.

Later this year, host James Lipton will welcome the cast and creator of Mad Men and also celebrate the show’s milestone 250th episode as he unveils the best moments from all 287 past guests.
Duh the floor was WAY too slippery for that poor girl! That was a totally unprofessional setting for that young woman to have to perform in.
Enough of all the "Housewife" shows. There women and their lives are all the same, from one city to the next. They are all unstable tend, phony, and lack individualism and morals. With that being said, i am so looking forward to watching Tabatha, as well as all the decorator shows.
If you have a show called la shrinks shouldn't you actually have a psychiatrist.
Come on Silicon Valley! Totally looking forward to that show. I just wish I knew when it will be aired.
Gosh more housewives junk? They need to get lives and focus on their kids and "real" careers. But YAY MILLION DOLLAR DECORATS IS BACKKKKK!!!! HURRRAAAYYYY! LOVE YOU MARTIN!
Is Work of Art not coming back???? WTF!! That show is so much better then some dumb "real housewives" junk.
No news on any of the Housewife shows or who might not be returning with them? It would be nice to know some more, since we do know Camille Grammer will not be back, what about Lisa? With the new SUR series will she be back on RHOBH and the new show?
Can't wait for Life After Top Chef!!!
Can't wait to see more of Lisa Vanderpump and her new show SUR!!!
all of these shows sound lame. Bring more Top Chef and shows with less wannabe millionaire women with have n talent what so ever. Tired of seeing the fake people who gain fame just by getting on these shows with no talent.
The new scripted shows are intriguing and different for Bravo! Most of the new series look like they will be interesting, especially "Sur", "Silicon Valley", & "Below Deck". Unfortunately I did not like "The Kandi Factory" when I saw the first episode and will not be watching the show, even though I think Kandi is an inspiring woman. I am excited for all of the returning series, besides Pregnant In Heels & Chef Roble & Co. Y'all are doing a great job, just don't bring back Dallas Most Eligable.... Ever!
Where is Most Eligible Dallas? You have to bring it back!
Oh No! Where's Rocco's Dinner Party!
Thankyouthankyouthankyou Bravo! I'm excited to see: Chef Roble, Tha Kandi Factory, & Decades (working title) WOOHOOO!
I'm going to love the Deck show. All these shows sound fab. Can't wait
You should do a "Real Housewives of Dallas". I'm a jersey girl who moved to TX about 10 years ago and all I can say is, these woman are definately unique! I I think you would find them as interesting as the hosewives of Jersey, NY, Beverly Hills, Atlanta and the OC which seems to be the ones you bring back year over year. Your shows are always entertaining!
Rhoa is not returning? I didn't see it in the returning series...
Reality shows with the competition format are the most interesting to watch. The Top Chef format with an elimination every week keeps the viewer coming back. Survivor, Biggest Loser, Top Chef, Top chef Masters, Project Runway, American Idol, etc., etc.
I can't wait to see Sur. I am Lisa's number one fan. I am so glad she is coming back after the horrible way the other wives lied about her. She made that show bearable in a bleak sad season. Good luck replacing her and Giggy.
Love all of the Top Chef shows & Tabitha, of course. Don't care at all for any of the Housewives shows.
I love the look of the shows. But...I see the same type of people in every show. You have Atlanta Housewives one of the top housewives series. And you can't find any variety concept to develop? All these shows are beginning to look like the same format. Bravo was one of the trailblazer in unique programming. But now "here is your format! get a group goodlooking caucasian have them show how good they have it!
I am really starting to look at VH1. Who has a mix bag of shows to watch and different variety concepts.
Please...no more Dallas or Texas crap.
GALLERY GIRLS FOR THE WIN. BYE BYE HOUSEWIVES!
When is Dinner with Rocco returning?? That was great! Fun each week!
Yay for tabatha!!! Love her and her show this season was the best yet
Yay for tabatha! Love her and the show...this season was the best yet
all the shows sound great, plzzzz do not bring, taylor armstrong back.. or what ever her name is this week. she is not rich a wife or anything else listen to the folk that watch the shows, she is the only one that gives bravo a black eye
Can't wait for Sur. Anything with Lisa V. will of course be fabulous.
I'm still hoping to one day see RHO Dallas! This place has some crazy women!
What about most eligible Dallas?
I've been loving MILLION DOLLAR LISTING (New York) -- more, please!
I'm THRILLED that Million Dollar Decorators will be back for a second season!
I did not see Millionaire Matchmaker on that list and I hope to God that it DOES NOT RETURN!!! It's always the same thing every week with her yelling at men and telling them what to do, what not to do and thinking she knows everything about relationships when she can't even keep her own relationship going. I really do hope it is one of the shows not returning. Bring back Top Chef, Real Housewives, Flipping Out--those are the shows I like. They have a little bit more to them. Sorry all you Patty fans!
I am sorry but reality tv is too much. NO MORE REALITY TV PLEASE!
So excited for the SUR show! Love Lisa and it looks sassy!
So excited for Flipping Out and Pregnant in Heels!!... But what about Rachel Zoe?
So excited to see again Flipping Out and Pregnant in Heels!!... But what about Rachel Zoe? I really hope she comes back!!
Two shows with Lisa Vanderpump? FANTASTIC!!! (Take that, Adrienne!)
I really hope by "Flipping Out" you mean the old Flipping Out. If so, thank goodness! That was my favorite show, I love Jeff Lewis, but Interior Therapy is not working. I miss the houses, the animals, the car rides, it was perfection just the way it was.
Thumbs up for Lisa and Sur! I would watch her boil water!
Disappointed that A-List New York & Dallas are not mentioned here.... If you wanted to do an Australian version, my fiends & I would be perfect :)
What about Brad?
Why isn't "Kathy" on the list of new shows. And why aren't there any dates and times for the shows listed???????
Well I am only interested in watching SUR, which is good, as I was a fan of Lisa's basically in the housewives show, kinda liked Adrienne too until the real person inside her showed up at that nasty wrap up show, so, no reason now to tune into bev hills housewives anymore because the rest of them just stink!
Most looking forward to Sur and Lisa
I want to see gallery girls. NYC art world fascinates me. The one with the LA vintage clothes looks like crapola though, imo.
bring back nyc prep!
Soooooo glad you are having Jeff Lewis back in Flipping out!!!!!!
OMG! More Million Dollar Decorators! I'm going to have to get out my purple lemonade and start whipping pillows about! Remember without that hat you are nothing! :)

It was nice to see Dr V counsel Tamra on WWHL. Although I believe Tamra refuses to admit she's got a problem at the moment - I do believe TRH has actually transformed some of the worst behaving women in to better people through the impartial feedback of fans.
