"With aspirational lives, thriving businesses and tangled family dynamics, these decade-long friendships prove that in a state this small, there's no escaping your past -- or each other," Bravo teased in a press release.
An official premiere date and the cast of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island will be revealed at a later date.
Rumors were spreading in December 2024 that Bravo was going to film a new spinoff in Rhode Island and had already begun casting.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island is being produced by Evolution Media with Andy Cohen, Lucilla D'Agostino, Joseph Ferraro and Jen McClure-Metz serving as executive producers.
Bravo has also picked up three additional series for 2025: The Valley: Persian Style, Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition, and a reboot of Ladies of London that will feature a new cast.
Ladies of London originally debuted on Bravo in 2014 and aired three seasons on the network.
Bravo also announced it has ordered season renewals of some fan-favorite shows including Season 10 of Below Deck Med, Season 4 of Below Deck Down Under, Season 12 of Married to Medicine, and Season 11 of Southern Charm.
Additional season renewals include Season 4 of Southern Hospitality, Season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Season 19 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Potomac, and Season 6 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
The premieres of many other series have already been announced -- including The Real Housewives of Miami, which premieres Wednesday, June 11 at 9PM ET/PT.
In addition, Bravo previously confirmed Vanderpump Rules will return for season 12 with a brand new cast of SUR-vers working at Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant.
The former Vanderpump Rules cast -- Ariana Madix, James Kennedy, Katie Maloney, Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, and Tom Schwartz -- had learned of the casting shakeup only 24 hours before Bravo made its big announcement in November 2024.
