- Bravo announced The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th during the 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards, celebrating two decades of the franchise with its first promo airing at the Las Vegas ceremony.
- The core cast spans seven cities: Porsha Williams (Atlanta), Vicki Gunvalson (Orange County), Luann de Lesseps (New York City), Teresa Giudice (New Jersey), Kyle Richards (Beverly Hills), Gizelle Bryant (Potomac), and Lisa Barlow (Salt Lake City).
- The special is set to premiere on Sunday, August 9, at 9 p.m. ET, with the Housewives embarking on a road trip visiting Orange County, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Miami, and New York City.
- Dozens of additional Housewives from across cities and eras will make appearances, joining the core group in 'both emotional and unexpected ways' as new relationships and dynamics unfold along the route.
- The series is produced by Shed Media, with executive producers Lisa Shannon, Dan Peirson, and Darren Ward joined by Andy Cohen.
Why it matters: Bravo assembled its widest cross-franchise cast ever for this 20th anniversary event, pulling Housewives from seven different series into a single road-trip format. For the network and Shed Media, this tentpole — anchored by Andy Cohen as executive producer — represents the most ambitious Ultimate Girls Trip production since the spinoff's launch.
