Yesterday, Bravo announced that it was adding two more locations to its successful "The Real Housewives" series in Potomac, Md. and in Dallas. The Dallas version of the show was long rumored to be in development at the network, but the Potomac series came as more of a shock to longtime viewers of the show.
Set just up the river from Washington D.C., Potomac is a high-class suburb that was named CNN Money's most affluent town in America in 2013, and with a population of just under 45,000 people, it's the biggest city in America to boast a median income of over $240,000, according to the New York Daily News.
"It's rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only," the synopsis for the show read. "Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children."
While the cast for the Dallas location has not yet been announced, the cast of Potomac has. "The Real Housewives of Potomac" will star Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon and Ashley Darby, "all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage." Meet the cast below.

Robyn Dixon is the wife of former NBA player Juan Dixon. The two were high school sweethearts and moved to Potomac to raise their two athletic sons. The couple decided to part ways but still continue to live together and remain extremely close. She is a full time single mom of her two young boys, seven-year-old Corey and six-year-old Carter. She recently launched her career as a publicist and event manager at TAA PR, a public relations, marketing, and special-events boutique specializing in luxury lifestyle, fashion and hospitality in Washington, DC.
"The Real Housewives Of Potomac" premieres on Bravo on Sunday Jan. 17, 9 p.m. EST/8 p.m. CT and "The Real Housewives of Dallas" will premiere later in 2016.
