As a top 5 cable entertainment brand with 5 of the top 10 reality shows on cable, Bravo is a premiere cultural and lifestyle destination. Home to the most passionate fanbase in television, Bravo ranks #1 in Primetime Loyalty, with its viewers tuning into the network on more days of the year than viewers of any other network on television. All Bravo series are available to stream next day on Peacock.

New to the Bravo lineup is “Making it in Manhattan,” (W/T) an unscripted series that follows a tight-knit group of friends in New York City as they navigate the trials and triumphs of young adulthood. In development at the network is “On Safari,” (W/T) which is set in the heart of the South African Bush and explores the spectacular world of the most luxurious safari experiences, and the international group of guides who create once-in-a-lifetime moments for their adventure-seeking clientele.

Bravo’s slate of returning hits includes a new season of “The Valley,” its most-watched freshman series in nearly a decade, along with “Summer House,” which is currently having its most-watched season in the show’s eight-year history, and “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year.

Here in individual private hideouts, each player is free to say whatever they want to advance their game. The question is: Can they stay anonymous, or will the other players guess their identity, causing them to lose their power in the game?
