After weeks of ominous teasers, and finally a glorious full trailer released last month, “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy” is almost here.

Bravo’s limited anthology series will premiere on Peacock on Dec. 14, and reunites iconic cast members from the original run of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” including Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer and Kristen Taekman.

After a low-rated 13th season and an influx of conflict, Variety broke the news that the “RHONY” would be revamping its format in a two-part strategy. First, Andy Cohen revealed that Bravo was focused on rebooting the flagship show with a brand-new cast, and the network would eventually launch a spin-off “Legacy” series that would cast original and former New York Housewives.

However, the network was unable to come to a financial agreement with several of the projected “Legacy” housewives and put the series on pause — which apparently led to a shift in strategy: revamping the series in an “Ultimate Girl Trips” style, not to air on Bravo, but to stream on Peacock.

Jill Zarin, an OG “RHONY” Housewife who was expected to join the “Legacy” series, is noticeably missing from the “Girls Trip” cast. Zarin revealed that when in talks with Bravo for the series, all cast members were not going to be paid the same amount, something she wasn’t comfortable with.

Meanwhile, one of the most notable castings for “The Real Housewives of New York: Legacy” is Singer, who has a scandal-ridden past in the Bravoverse. During the 13th season of “RHONY,” Bravo launched an internal investigation to look into formal complaints made about Singer by fellow Season 13 Housewife Eboni K. Williams and an additional crew member. Nonetheless, Singer will star in “Legacy” despite her contentious past.
