Season 15 of Bravo’s RHOA returned with a bang on Sunday night, earning solid ratings for the premiere episode and providing a decent start for Summer House Martha’s Vineyard.
Episode 1 of Season 15 earned a strong 0.28 in the all-important P18-49 demo and 834,000 live viewers, according to Nielsen. This is down slightly from the Season 14 premiere which earned a 0.30 and 933,000 live viewers back in May 2022.
For comparison’s sake, this is the highest-rated Housewives premiere of 2023, beating The Real Housewives of New Jersey (0.25 / 851,000) and The Real Housewives of Potomac (0.24 / 792,000), as well as The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (0.26 / 685,000).
While the numbers could seem low for RHOA initially, the reality is that the series trended all night on social media and sees huge increases once DVR and delayed viewing is taken into account.
RHOA Season 15 stars Kandi Burruss Tucker, Marlo Hampton, Shereé Whitfield, Drew Sidora, Kenya Moore, and Sanya Richards-Ross, with Courtney Rhodes and Monyetta Shaw-Carter appearing as Friends of the Housewives.
