CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – The Real Housewives Miami Season 2 finally got a debut date this week. Real Housewives Miami Season 2 was confirmed returning to Bravo in February. But finally this week, the network confirmed to news that the updated cast will be coming back, September 13.

In the last twelve months, a series of news reports have claimed what may have gone wrong with season one filming. Allegations asserted that behind the scenes production concerns led to the problematic debut of the highly anticipated new entry to the franchise. This time, the network is hoping for smoother results and higher ratings.

Finally today, Bravo confirmed that Lea Black, Adriana de Moura and Marysol Patton are returning. Alexia Echevarria will served in a Camille Grammer-like capacity, reoccurring but not appearing full time. Added to the cast are Lisa Hochstein, supermodel Joanna Krupa, lawyer and chef Ana Quincoces, and celebrity dentist Karent Sierra.

Bravo in recent years have slimmed down some Housewives casts from seven to five women. But for RHOM Season 2, Bravo will stay with a seven person cast.

Also, Bravo is taking an unusual turn to give viewers an elongated debut episode to introduce the new extended cast. The premiere on Thursday, September 13 at 10 P.M. ET/PT will last 75-minutes. Bravo says the premiere will offer “an inside look into the inspirational lives of seven women as they juggle family, work, and a spicy social scene in the hottest city in the world.”
