Overview and casting
The Real Housewives of D.C. featured the lives and politics of five women in the Washington, D.C.area. It followed Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, Michaele Salahi, and Stacie Scott Turner. On April 7, 2011, Bravo announced that The Real Housewives of D.C. had been canceled. This was a first in the history of the franchise that one of its United States installments failed to be renewed.
On November 13, 2015, Andy Cohen revealed the reason for the cancellation was due to "a stink" the Salahis left on the show; however, he also revealed that he had wanted to bring it back for a second season.
In 2015, the network announced a new installment of The Real Housewives franchise based in the D.C. area entitled The Real Housewives of Potomac. Cohen commented on the decision to make another effort by saying that the cast of the Potomac series is more appropriate for a reality series describing it as "all Bravo and no CNN", also adding that the show is "staying far away from the political drama," in contrast to The Real Housewives of D.C. On December 2, 2016, Cohen spoke of how he fought for a second season of The Real Housewives of D.C but lost, also describing The Real Housewives of Potomac as a "D.C. adjacent."
