A new Bravo show is on the way!
We learned that a Dorinda Medley-centered show set at her Blue Stone Manor estate is in “early development” at Bravo. Deadline broke the news.
The new reality series will reportedly follow Medley, 59, serving as a boss to a young staff as they welcome guests staying on her property. Sources told the outlet that the show will be similar in format to Hulu’s Vanderpump Villa. But because the show is only in a development stage, it’s not certain if it will go to series.
Built in 1902, the 11,000-square-foot Tudor-style residence harks back to the Gilded Age, and was heavily featured on The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club.
“Poor Bluestone Manor!” Medley cracked to ETin October 2021, soon after filming the latter limited series. “The poor thing. She’s a working girl, isn’t she? She’s a working girl!”
She added, “Listen, what would a visit to Blue Stone Manor [be] without some really heavy-duty discussions? Isn’t that what you expect from us? Who wants dull?”
Over the years, Medley has capitalized on Blue Stone Manor, even launching her own bourbonwith the name of her estate. In 2021, she partnered with AirBnB to allow fans to book a stay in her Berkshires home.
Back in 2016, Medley gave ET an exclusive tourof her palatial Massachusetts estate. It has been a sanctuary for Medley since she lost her husband, Richard H. Medley, in 2011. The estate is spread across 18 acres of land, which provides Medley with a serene place to relax until her RHONY friends come to visit.
“It has nine bedrooms and 11 bathrooms,” Medley said of Blue Stone Manor. “I’d say it’s about 11,000 square feet, but who’s counting.”
The news of Medley’s new show comes shortly after she wrapped filming the third season of The Traitors for Peacock. She was joined by Bravo-lebrities Chanel Ayan from The Real Housewives of Dubai, Dolores Catania from The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Robyn Dixon from The Real Housewives of Potomac, and Tom Sandoval, fresh off the Scandoval drama on Vanderpump Rules.
