Bravo has renewed the series for a second season.[3] and is now filming with four members of the original cast: Lea Black, Marysol Patton, Adriana De Moura Sidi, and Alexia Echevarria. However, a few months before filming began for the second season, Alexia's son was involved in a car accident and so her role was reduced to recurring. There are four new housewives joining the cast, and they include Joanna Krupa, Lisa Hochstein, Karent Sierra and Ana Quincoces, but it's unknown if their contribution will be full or half time. It was also spotted in April 2012 that Miami drag queen Miss Elaine Lancaster will be featured in the show.[4]
The second season will premiere on Thursday, September 13, 2012[5] with 4 new housewives- Ana Quincoces, Joanna Krupa, Karent Sierra, and Lisa Hochstein- and Alexia Echevarria with a recurring role.
Production history
Season 1- On Wednesday, March 10, 2010, Bravo announced the series (then titled Miami Social Club) had been picked up, which was to be a restructuring of the failed 2009 series, Miami Social. Later, after filming was completed on the series, Bravo chose instead to make it a new extension of the Real Housewives.[6] Bravo announced on February 3, 2011 that the series would premiere later that month, they also announced that the fourth season premiere of The Real Housewives of New York City originally scheduled for February 15, would be pushed back until April.
Season 2- The Real Housewives of Miami has been renewed for a second season but not all of the housewives will return. We will see the return of some but not all, yet to be confirmed as to who will officially return for a second season. Adriana De Moura- Sidi confirmed that Larsa Pippen and Cristy Rice are not returning for a second season.[7]
When Bravo officially greenlighted on February 9, 2012 the return of the series for a second season, Alexia Echevarria was not featured in it. Two to five new Housewives will be featured for the second Season. It's still unknown the capacity of their contribution. Season 2 will premiere in September of 2012. [8]
Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Miami is set premiering September, 13 2012 at 10 pm on Bravo. Season 2 gives viewers an inside look into the aspirational lives of seven women as they juggle family, work, and a spicy social scene in the hottest city in the world. Whether shopping on Ocean Drive or out on the town in South Beach, these ladies prove that in Miami the skirts are short and so are the tempers. Returning Housewives Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, and Marysol Patton are joined this season by bombshell Lisa Hochstein, supermodel Joanna Krupa, successful lawyer and chef Ana Quincoces, and celebrity dentist Karent Sierra. Also returning in a recurring role is Alexia Echevarria, who has made her son, Frankie, her number one priority following a bad automobile accident earlier this year.
On July 24, 2012, Bravo announced that the second season of The Real Housewives of Miami will premiere on Thursday, September 13 at 10/9c with 7 Housewives and 1 Recurring Housewife.
