- Frances Berwick, Chairman of Bravo & Peacock Unscripted, has been with The Real Housewives franchise since its launch and spoke at the Season 20 premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County — the original show the source identifies as the one that 'started it all.'
- The article's headline indicates Berwick also addressed the future of a Summer House spinoff titled 'In The City,' signaling continued franchise expansion for Bravo beyond the Housewives brand.
Why it matters: Berwick, who has overseen the Real Housewives franchise from its launch, now also guides a Summer House spinoff — concentrating Bravo's two biggest unscripted bets under one executive just as the flagship brand hits a rare 20-year reality TV milestone.
