Dust off your diamonds, folks. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are back for a fourteenth season, and if the premiere episode title, “Grace Time is Over,” is any indication, things are about to get messy. The new season kicks off Tuesday, November 19, on Bravo, and it looks to be a potent cocktail of reinvention, real estate, and relationship drama.
Erika Jayne, apparently still standing after last season’s legal woes, is not just redecorating her house; she’s “reinventing herself.” Exactly what that entails remains shrouded in Bravo-style mystery, but expect some bold pronouncements, a few designer labels, and at least one scene involving a glam squad.
Meanwhile, Garcelle Beauvais is busy collecting titles. She’s now a grandmother, a game show host, and, of course, a Real Housewife.
Perhaps the most anticipated storyline revolves around Kyle Richards, who is facing life after separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky. This could be a source of genuine vulnerability or, knowing this franchise, an excuse for some extravagant retail therapy and tearful lunches with the girls. Either way, it’s likely to be the centerpiece of the season’s drama.
The premiere also features the return of Sutton Stracke, Dorit Kemsley, and Crystal Kung Minkoff, all likely eager to carve out their space in the Beverly Hills ecosystem. New additions Annemarie Wiley and Diana Jenkins join the cast, ready to make their mark, though it’s unclear how long their grace period will last.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Bravo.
