The renewal isn't a surprise given strong ratings of the show's first season, which averaged 2.55 million total viewers and 1.91 million viewers in the Adults 18-49 demographic during its 10-episode run. The numbers represented a The Real Housewives franchise ratings record at the time, however The Real Housewives of Atlanta's currently-airing second season is on pace to break it.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey is produced by Sirens Media.
In addition to renewing The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Bravo also formally ordered The Real Housewives of D.C., a fifth The Real Housewives edition it began developing in May.
