Potomac was originally set to premiere in May, but due to the pandemic, Bravo decided to hold off to make sure it had enough programming in August.
“I'm not even bragging,” said Candiace said recently. "Everyone has been, like, drooling with bated breath waiting for this premiere.”
And Karen teased to E! News, "But you get to see all of us: seven dynamic women who are intelligent, ambitious. Just strong women with sass, class and drama. We bring it all this season. RHOP is a five-year veteran now. I think we know how to bring our honesty, our truth with the sass and the class, so It's going to be powerful. It's fire. It's fire this season."
As for the new cast member, Karen had this to say about Wendy: "Wendy is a dynamic individual. I think you guys are gonna love her and take her as she comes. She's intelligent, she's a professor. She's funny too, and just as with getting to know anyone you're going to have challenges here and there but overall, Wendy was a hoot."
