Cast and synopsis
editFollowing the completion of production on the eleventh season, Bethenny Frankel announced her departure from the series.[2]
The season also includes Elyse Slaine who appears in a recurring capacity.[3] On June 11, 2020, Tinsley Mortimer announced her exit from the series midseason, following her decision to relocate to Chicago to be with fiancé Scott Kluth.[4][5] Following the conclusion of the episode, the series went on a two-week hiatus, allowing editors additional time to edit episodes, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[6] On June 29 of the same year, it was announced that upon the season's return, new tag lines would be used, a first in the franchise's history.[7]
In August 2020, Medley announced her departure from the series.[8][9] That same month, the season's three-part reunion was filmed—in-person—on Long Island at the Oheka Castle, becoming the first Real Housewives reunion to be filmed face-to-face since the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[10]
