The Real Housewives of Chicago (abbreviated RHOChi) was an American reality television series that premiered on PiperTV on January 10, 2010 and concluded on October 28, 2029. Developed as the fifth installment of The Real Housewives franchise, it aired twenty seasons and focuses on the personal and professional lives of several women residing in Chicago, Illinois.
The series originally focused on Cassandra Brown, Alex Harris, Kendra Hill, Qristyl Johnson, Shonelle Moore, Chantel Taylor, and Keesha Williams. The final cast consisted of Taylor, Diamond Sneed, Henrietta Drake, Carly Kay Sesnick, Fiona Garvey, Tamera Rawlings, and Shanay Carmichael, with Dayzee Packard serving in a friend capacity. Of the original housewives, Harris left after the second season, while Hill and Moore both left after the third. Hill then returned to the series in a limited capacity for the fifteenth season before returning full-time for the sixteenth and ultimately leaving for the final time after the seventeenth. Johnson was fired from the series following the fifth season and Brown left after the sixth. Williams departed the cast following the tenth season. The remaining housewives joined in later seasons: Sneed in the sixth, Drake in the tenth, Sesnick in the eleventh, Garvey in the fifteenth, and Rawlings in the eighteenth. Other housewives include Jameka Barnes (seasons 4-5), Debbie Wells (seasons 3-6), Isabella Guerrero (seasons 6-8), Melinda Darden (season 7), April Doyle (seasons 7-9), Darcy Rupert (seasons 7-9), Yasmine Gates (seasons 8-17), Paula Mooney (seasons 8-12), Phoebe Gallo (seasons 11-13), Aniyah Matthews (season 12), Naia Indango (seasons 13-14), Averey Weissner (season 14), and Valentina Perez (seasons 15-17).
The success of the show has resulted in three spin-offs: Bar TLC, Taylor-Made, and Gates Family Affair revolving around cast members Cassandra Brown, Chantel Taylor, and Yasmine Gates respectively.
