Bravo is attempting to expand its reality series lineup by going with what it knows, developing spin-offs based on big personalities from three of its former and current programs.
The NBC Universal-owned cable channel announced Thursday that it’s working to create new-series concepts around former “Project Runway” champ Christian Siriano, “Real Housewives of New York City” participant Bethenny Frankel and “Top Chef” finalist Fabio Viviani.
The Siriano and Viviani projects will be produced by Magical Elves, which oversaw work on the reality hit “Project Runway” before The Weinstein Company spirited the series away to Lifetime.
Frankel’s new show will be handled by “Real Housewives” franchise production shop Shed Media.
