The Real Housewives of D.C. featured the lives and politics of five women in the Washington, D.C area. The series starred Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, Michaele Salahi and Stacie Scott Turner. On April 7, 2011, Bravo canceled The Real Housewives of D.C..[1] It was the first time in the franchise that one of its United States installments failed to be renewed.[2]

Andy Cohen said the reason for the cancellation was due to "a stink" Michaele and Tareq Salahi left on the show, though he had wanted to bring back the remaining cast for a second season.[3]

In 2015, the network announced a new version of The Real Housewives franchise based in the D.C. area, titled The Real Housewives of Potomac to distance itself from the failed effort.[4]
