Dorinda Medley from RHONY to Host Bravo’s New Real Housewives Spinoff Filmed at Blue Stone Manor Estate
The Berkshires estate owned by Dorinda Medley, which has been featured several times on The Real Housewives of New York City, will serve as the setting for a new spin-off series. Deadline reports that the spin-off will follow a format similar to Hulu’s Vanderpump Villa.
Medley will act as the boss and host of Blue Stone Manor, where the contestants will live. The spin-off is still in the early stages of development and has not yet been picked up as a series. However, given the popularity of the mansion that Medley has cleverly leveraged, the show has the potential to be greenlit!
Medley has launched her own bourbon named after her well-known and heavily featured estate. In 2021, she collaborated with AirBnB to offer fans the opportunity to book a stay at her 1902 Tudor-style home in western Massachusetts.
Previously, Blue Stone Manor was used as the setting for the Peacock spinoff, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club, which included contestants such as Taylor Armstrong, Brandi Glanville, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, Eva Marcille, Jill Zarin, and Phaedra Parks.
The former Real Housewives Of New York City star first appeared on the show in 2015 for season 7 and left during the 12th season. Throughout her time on the show, her Berkshires estate became a notable property.
Medley later returned to the Real Housewives world in 2022 as part of the cast of Peacock’s The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 2. In 2023, she reunited with her former RHONY co-stars for another spin-off series titled, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Season 3: RHONY Legacy.
