History

Historical Context

After NBC acquired Bravo in 2002, the network’s 2003 hit Queer Eye drew 3.5 million viewers, spurring a pivot from arts to reality series. Successes such as Project Runway (2004) and The Real Housewives of Orange County (2006) entrenched the format, leading to the launch of Summer House in 2017, which now carries the same ensemble-living model.
