Following in the tradition of Bravo’s Summer House franchise, Martha’s Vineyard takes a group of people in their twenties and thirties, puts them in a house together, and allows viewers to watch as the group navigates conflict, themed parties, and the trials and tribulations of friendship at this point in their lives. According to Lorraine Haughton-Lawson, SVP of programming at Truly Productions, Bravo approached the production company two years ago about wanting to develop a show in the area. Haughton-Lawson, who’s worked on Real Housewives of Atlanta and Potomac, says she immediately understood the appeal of wanting to film a show in the Martha’s Vineyard area.

Fans can watch it all play out on the new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, airing Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo starting May 7.

Stars of Bravo's new spinoff Summer House: Martha's Vineyard Silas Cooper and Jasmine Ellis Cooper are sharing their personal connection to the Massachusetts vacation hotspot, which was one of the first beach destinations where Black Americans could vacation and purchase property over 100 years ago.

Overseeing multiple seasons of “The Real Housewives,” the Truly Original team also produce the “Kandi & the Gang” spinoff and took the franchise international with Dubai. With “Summer House” and “Winter House” in their wheelhouse, they’ve also expanded to MTV, producing the LGBTQ ensemble doc “The Real Friends of WeHo.”

Wish they thought of: “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations,” says Hersh. “What’s more fabulous than authentic food and remote travel?”

The 2023 awards also will feature two new categories — Best Reality On-Screen Team and Best Kick-Ass Cast.
