The Bravo network has announced on Monday, May 17, that the beloved BravoCon will return for a second year in October and will take place in New York City. After such a terrible 2020, fans needed this bit of good news.
The Bravo network launched in 1980, and it is safe to say no one really knew how popular it would become, thanks to reality TV. While it is under the umbrella of NBC, the channel initially focused on fine arts and film. Again, no one could have guessed it would take the fork in the road and turn into one of the go-to channels.
The network announced via its Instagram that the World Series of conventions for TV lovers would be returning this fall, and fans went nuts. It felt like it was Christmas morning, waking up to the news. Once again, Bravolebrities from across all of the popular shows will flock to New York City for the second BravoCon weekend. Unfortunately, last year’s get-together was put on hold due to the worldwide pandemic. Superfans can prepare themselves for a jam-packed weekend to take place from October 15 to 17.
A press release was sent by NBCUniversal Cable, executive vice president of consumer engagement and brand strategy Ellen Stone, saying, “Close to 10,000 fans experienced our first-ever BravoCon, and I’m so excited to bring the Bravosphere to life again. The passion of our attendees combined with the enthusiasm from our talent set the standards super high for our second Con, which we plan to be even more memorable.” The first BravoCon took place in November of 2019, and it had over 90 celebrities from all the shows.
Fans are dying to figure out what they can expect from the second one. Last time, there were 50 live events which included Luann de Lesseps singing a cabaret called Countess and Friends, and the network announced a new Real Housewives franchise with The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City! There were even goat cheese balls at a Vanderpump Rules-inspired after-party. The last time tickets went on sale, they sold out in under one minute, so it feels like the same rush will be felt for the second time around. There haven’t been many details released about when tickets will go on sale, but every fan is currently waiting with bated breath for the news that they, too, can rub elbows with their favorite reality stars.
