Peacock to Host Uncensored Reunion Episodes of Hit Bravo Reality Shows Like ‘Real Housewives,’ ‘Below Deck,’ More
See the most outrageous moments of these reunion episodes in their full, uncut glory with a subscription to Peacock!
Reality shows draw such big audiences because they’re usually dripping with drama. Anything can happen when you put people together to interact without a lot of strict rules about what they can and can’t do, and Bravo is home to some of the best loved reality series on TV, with titles like “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” “Vanderpump Rules” and many others.
- Bravo’s reality series will send uncensored versions of their reunion episodes to stream on Peacock.
- The news was announced at BravoCon, the channel’s yearly convention which celebrates its reality shows and their stars.
- All Bravo shows stream their episodes on Peacock next-day.
Coming in Hot!
This past weekend, Bravo and Peacock partnered to offer coverage of BravoCon, the annual convention which celebrates Bravo’s top reality shows and the stars that make them the scandalous, guilty-pleasure viewing that they are.
During the convention, ubiquitous host Andy Cohen announced that henceforward, any time a Bravo show like “Real Housewives” or “Below Deck hosts a reunion episode on linear television, an uncensored version of that episode will appear the next day on Peacock. That means viewers can see even more shocking moments from their favorite reality stars, complete with adult-only language and content.
The streamer cited past success with uncensored episodes of “Below Deck Sailing Yacht,” “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” “The Real Housewives of New York City,” “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” and “Vanderpump Rules” as a reason for the expanded offering of future uncensored reunion episodes.
Will Peacock Be Making More Big Content Additions Soon?
The announcement that Peacock would host uncensored reunion episodes of the Bravo reality series going forward is obviously a lot of fun for fans of those shows, but it hardly counts as a bold or splashy new addition. Peacock and Bravo are both owned by NBCUniversal, so while the move is highly logical, it’s hardly earth-shattering.
However, NBCU may have the cash on hand to make bigger content additions to Peacock soon. Its parent company Comcast recently agreed to terms for the sale of its 33% stake in Hulu to Disney, and once it has the $8.6 billion+ it will secure from that sale, it has a ton of options available for what it could pursue next.
There’s always the chance that Comcast elects to spend a good portion of that money on content for Peacock, especially as it views the service as a way to keep revenues going as its linear TV customers continue to decline. New scripted content will have to wait until studios can agree with SAG-AFTRA to end the current strike by that union, but NBCU could pursue more live sports rights for Peacock with its newfound billions in the meantime.
