In February 2021, the show was renewed for a second season by Bravo.[4] The second season premiered on September 12, 2021. The entire cast of the first season returned for the second season, joined by new housewife Jennie Nguyen.[5][6][7]

On January 7, 2022, Andy Cohen confirmed via Instagram that Mary Cosby had not attended the Season 2 reunion. A few days later, Cohen confirmed rumors that Cosby had quit the show and would not be returning for Season 3.[8] On January 25, Bravo announced that they had fired Nguyen after the discovery of her incendiary Facebook posts criticizing the Black Lives Matter movement.[9] Nguyen has denied any racist allegations and claimed that she had a team of people running her social media.[10]

The third season premiered on September 28, 2022. Barlow, Gay, Marks, Rose and Shah returned, with Angie Harrington, Angie Katsanevas and Danna Bui-Negrete joining as friends of the housewives.[11] Shah was fired from the series after being sentenced to 6.5 years in prison[12]

The fourth season began production in March 2023 with Barlow, Gay, Marks and Rose all confirmed to be returning, alongside former housewife Cosby also returning to the show in a recurring capacity.[13] In May 2023, Harrington said she was asked back for Season 4, but chose not to return to focus on her family.[14] In August 2023, the show's premiere date was revealed as September 5,[15] where it was revealed that Katsanevas was promoted to a full-time cast member along with new housewife Monica Garcia. Bui-Negrete made a guest appearance.[16]
