As if the nation’s capital needed any more drama.

Bravo - in an apparent attempt to dilute The Real Housewives franchise like MTV with The Real World - has just put out its feelers for a new city. Today, the cable channel announced that it’s heading further east.

“We’re tapping personalities who are among Washington D.C.‘s influential players, cultural connoisseurs, fashion sophisticates and philanthropic leaders - the people who rub elbows with the most prominent people in the country and easily move in the city’s diverse political and social circles,” Frances Berwick, Bravo Media’s Executive Vice President and General Manager said.

Casting for The Real Housewives of D.C. is still underway. Those with a pulse on the “most important” events around the city and are knowledgable about issues including fashion and economics are being sought after.

Previous installments of the popular docu-series have explored the Orange County, New York and Atlanta regions. The Real Housewives of New Jersey debuted several weeks ago.
