Andy Cohen is speaking out on the future of the Real Housewives of New York City following ratings plummeting and viewers describing the reboot as “unwatchable.”

Earlier this week, Bethenny Frankel also came out calling the new reboot “a piece of trash.”

Andy Cohen says that he still believes “there are a lot of interesting personal stories with the women in New York” telling Deadline, “I think the group dynamic is a little bit of a challenge this season. I think the rap on the group in season one was, ‘Oh, there’s not a lot of history there.’ The interesting thing about them this season is they hang out a lot and they are a cohesive group.”

Andy says he really “believes in this group of women,” adding, “I think they’re very aspirational. I think they’re fun to watch. I think the clothes and the window into a different kind of New York is all what we wanted it to be.”

Andy did talk the original RHONY saying, “We had 13 great seasons, plus a girls trip with that group of women, which is an incredible accomplishment. A lot changed, a lot shifted in [their] world and in life – [for instance], Sonja [Morgan] is now living in Florida, Ramona [Singer] basically lives in Florida. Things have shifted. So with this group of RHONY, we’re kind of looking to the future with them. I loved the original, but this is a new group.”

Andy even touched on the Real Housewives of New Jersey saying they are in no rush to bring it back, “We are taking our time. We are in no rush. We’re really gratified with what’s on the slate for next year,” Cohen explained. “The new Atlanta, which I’m seven episodes in of watching, it’s outstanding. I’m so excited for people to see this, and they’re going to see it early next year.”

He adds that Bravo is being very careful saying, “Miami is in the middle of shooting an absolute blown away season. We’re coming off of one of the most popular seasons of Orange County that we’ve ever had. I think that’s 16 or 17 years into that series. So things are really good in Housewives world. We’re just being extra careful, because we want everything to succeed.”
