It’s a milestone moment for Bravo: one of its flagship shows, “The Real Housewives New York City,” is going off the air, Page Six has learned — with no firm plans for its return.

The show, which premiered in 2008, has consistently been one of the most beloved, presitigious and buzzed-about in the reality giant’s schedule, and it has launched the careers of Bravo A-listers like Bethenny Frankel, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon.

Only the original “Housewives” show, “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” has been around longer.

Now Page Six is told that the network has decided to take it off the air, with “hopes” to reconfigure it. But it doesn’t seem as if there’s any great expectation that it’ll be back any time soon.

“We’re trying to figure that show out,” said an insider. “We want to figure it out. We think there’s still life in it.”

But they warned that other shows have sat on ice for years before being revived — such as “The Real Housewives of Miami,” which was canceled in 2013 and didn’t return until 2021.

An insider said that execs do expect it to return at some point and in some form, but certainly not with all of its current cast.

In 2021 “Housewives” honcho Andy Cohen and other brass took to bold and unprecedented decision to “split” the show in two, airing a gut-renovated version of the “main” show as “The Real Housewives of New York City,” and a second show that was to be called “The Real Housewives of New York City: Legacy” and would feature the “original” cast including de Lesseps, Morgan, Bensimon and Zarin, among others.

It is now safe to say that plan did not work, since both halves have gone off their air within four years.

As Page Six reported at the time, the “Legacy” edition fell apart during contract negotiations. It eventually aired as a one-off special edition of the “Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” series.

Then the “main” show, recast with J Crew savant Jenna Lyons, Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield, premiered in 2023.

As Page Six reported at the time, it immediately faced a crisis after cast members allegedly used racial slurs on set (something an irony since part of the reason for the dissolution of the original series was a human resources complaint about the very same slur). Since then, it has faced fluctuating ratings and cast members who refuse to shoot with each other because of on-set feuds that have spun out of control.

Meanwhile, we’re told that attempts to overhaul the cast have stumbled because many New York women who don’t want to be involved. “At this point they seen peoples marriages ruined, their kids lives ruined, their businesses ruined,” said an insider, “It’s just not a very desirable thing to sign up for.”

A Bravo spokesperson said: “Nothing is official. The show hasn’t been cancelled.”

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.

I may very well be one of the most indecisive people on the planet. But maybe Joanna Gaines is, too, just not for the reasons you may think.  

Earlier this week, the Fixer Upper star filmed a segment for Good Morning America in the half-shirt, half-sweater (could it also be part vest?) style I’m now currently captivated by. In all honesty, I didn’t even know it was possible for something to look that breezy and warm at the same time, and yet here we are. Meghan Markle also recently wore one, which further solidifies that I can no longer go halfsies on the trend — I’m all in. 

Her flare jeans also made me swell with excitement since I’ve been seeing the retro, celeb-worn style on the up again, while her chunky heels looked like the leverage I need to fix up my summer outfits the way Gaines does for houses. 

Joanna Gaines’ Outfit Blueprint 

Wiffgo Cropped Sweater Vest Top

Sleeveless sweater tops feel like they’re truly made for the people who can’t make up their mind (a.k.a. me) and the people who can never get their body temperature to regulate (also me.) How so? The no-sleeves design keeps sweat from pooling in the underarm area and creating pit stains, while the knit fabric is going to be heavier and warmer than a linen shirt. 

Old Navy High-Waisted Wow Flare Jeans

These flare jeans deserve all the fanfare: They have a high-rise waistline, which I hope and pray never goes out of style, and a fit that borders somewhere between tight and baggy. The fly also zips, which I’ve found is more accommodating to weight fluctuations, and according to reviewers, they’re “slimming,” “stretchy,” and “soft,” which, yes, let’s go! The best-selling pair also happens to be discounted by 35 percent. 

Aerosoles Camilia Platform Sandal

Gaines is good with a bit of height and platform shoes in general (see here!), and I am, too. You know why? They’re a lot more stable than pumps or stilettos, which I need since I’m pretty clumsy. And this pair has ankle straps, so they won’t be going anywhere, and a thick block heel that won’t sink into grass. 

I know footwear is never a one-size-fits-all type of thing, so if wedge sandals are easier for you to walk in or square-toe mules match more of your clothing, don’t change things on account of me — they’re all cute!
