After a mesmerising season 16, changes are afoot on The Real Housewives of Orange County! The first of numerous real housewives shows, The Real Housewives of Orange County (abbreviated RHOC) is an American reality TV show, premiered in March 2006. It has aired sixteen seasons with a total of 275 episodes. Formulated on real-life hurdles and chaotic women drama, the series spotlights the typical housewife jitters – loud diner combats, chaotic breakups, messy work-life and shopping sprees.

 

The show was, initially, invented to bestow a satirical look at what life was in affluent communities, such as Orange County, California. The Real Housewives of Orange County is based on the arduous customary lives of five gorgeous elite women and their families. The accomplishment of RHOC encouraged the creation of the entire franchise, which also incorporates shows established in NYC, Atlanta, Beverly Hills, New Jersey, and more.

When is the 17th Season of RHOC Premiering?

 

Adhering to the fact that RHOC season 16 premiered on the 1st of December, 2021, there is no news of the release of the 17th season as of now. Show cast members or makers have made no such announcements regarding the premiere of season 17.

 

Season 16, however, was a literal knock-it-all! With a schmick setting and the same-old real-life problems, it was a pleasant treat for the viewers. Season 16 was so far the most dramatic of all seasons – and thanks to the return of similar faces, the show got its stars back! No wonder, the most enticing part about the 16th season was the return of the former cast members – Shannon Storms Beader, Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Heather Dubrow.

 

Heather Dubrow was on a five-year hiatus; she had young kids that needed to be catered to – and family concerns. “My kids are growing up and my family’s at a better place”, she said in an interview, when asked about her return to the sets of RHOC. “The pandemic has given me a different perspective to view things in life. Moreover, how many times do you get to go back and try something again”, she added.

 

RHOC Season 16 featured the brand new entry of 2 new wives, namely Dr Jen Armstrong and Noella Bergener – and well, gallons of drama! Although there’s no news about the release of season 17 any time soon, we bet it’s going to be all the more fun! Women filled with goofy moments, shade-throwing, shocking twists, tears, and oh so much more, season 16 has set the bar pretty high. Stay tuned for more updates!
