8 shows to watch like Real Housewives

BBG News

As a self-proclaimed reality TV connoisseur with a decade-long love affair with the Real Housewives franchise under my belt, I’ve been eagerly scouring the landscape for shows that can scratch the same itch. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’ve got eight gems to share with you!

Are you completely hooked on the Real Housewives series and always craving more? Completely understandable! In that case, we’ve got eight engaging TV shows lined up for you that offer a similar blend of drama-filled entertainment as the Real Housewives franchise.

Although it’s well-known that there are many versions and spin-offs of “The Real Housewives,” we encourage you to watch them all if you haven’t already. However, let’s focus on a collection of diverse reality shows instead!

Shows to watch like Real Housewives

  • Selling Sunset on Netflix
  • Love is Blind on Netflix
  • Love Island on Peacock
  • Couple to Throuple on Peacock
  • Vanderpump Rules on Bravo
  • Love & Hip Hop: New York on BET+/Paramount+
  • RuPaul’s Drag Race on Hulu/Paramount+ 
  • Big Brother on Paramount+

Most reality TV fans know about Netflix’s Selling Sunset, after all, there are seven seasons available to stream and season 8 is on the way! Needless to say, it’s one of the biggest and most popular shows on Netflix. If you love petty drama with a side of luxury homes, Selling Sunset is the show to watch. There have been so many changes since season 1. The only downside to this show, is that you do sorta need to watch the seasons in order to best follow the drama. It’s possible to follow along if you start watching from, say, season 3, but for the best experience, watch from the start. There are a lot of seasons, but it’s worth it! 

Another popular Netflix reality series is Love is Blind, but not every season is worth watching. We recommend season 1, season 2, and season 6. So if you don’t have too much time to watch and enjoy a new series, take your pick from one of those three seasons! Love is Blind takes a group of single men and women and they go on literal blind dates, communicating through a pod where they can hear each other, but not see one another. Only after they become engaged can they meet face to face before moving in together to start planning the wedding. As you can imagine, it’s not always a fairytale. 

In our third suggestion, we present “Couple to Throuple,” a captivating reality show led by Scott Evans. This series follows four couples seeking a third individual to become part of their relationship dynamic. Admittedly, it might seem like they’re treading on potentially rocky ground, but who wouldn’t want to witness the unfolding drama?

Which of these shows are you going to watch to accompany your Real Housewives binge?
