Bravo orders nine new reality series including 'Fit Club' and 'Recipe for Deception'

Bravo has announced it has ordered nine new reality series.


In addition to NeNe and Kim: The Road to Riches -- which Reality TV World had already reported on -- Bravo has revealed it's picked up the following brand new series: Apres Ski, Fit Club, My Fab 40th, Mother Funders, Tour Group and Recipe for Deception.

The three remaining shows are Below Deck Mediterranean, Ladies of Dallas and Married to Medicine Houston. However, their concepts are not original, as the series are either spinoffs or a different take on a pre-existing hit show.

Tentatively-titled Apres Ski will follow the well-groomed staff of a luxurious concierge company who orchestrate once-in-a-lifetime ski vacations on the snowy mountains in Whistler, British Columbia for rich, famous and demanding clients.

Apres Ski is co-produced by Tricon Films & Television and Bravo with Andrea Gorfolova, Jeff Hervet, Kevin Lee and Jameel Bharmal serving as executive producers.


Fit Club, which is also a working title, will star New York City's hottest trainers as they compete for the same wealthy clients and celebrities in and around Manhattan. The trainers try to keep their romances, feuds and jealousy in check.

Fit Club is produced by Lime Pictures and All3 Media America with Kate Little, Claire Poyser, Derek McLean, Eli Holzman, Stephen Lambert, Tess Gamboa, John Platt, and Jacob Cohen-Holmes serving as executive producers.

My Fab 40th, produced by Fremantle North America, will cover some of the most extravagant 40th birthday parties complete with unlimited budgets, lavish delicacies and over-the-top entertainment.

Executive producing My Fab 40th are Thom Beers, Matt Anderson, Nate Green, and Maty Buss.

Mother Funders will follow a group of ambitious suburban ladies who are part of Locust Grove, a parent-teacher organization in Georgia. The moms have executive room experience and run the local PTO. They also raise thousands of dollars for the town's local elementary school.


Mother Funders is being produced by True Entertainment with Steven Weinstock, Glenda Hersh, Lauren Eskelin, Jen Morton and Leola Westbrook serving as executive producers.

Tentatively-titled Tour Group will chronicle a diverse group as they set out for a two-month dream vacation in which they'll stop at different amazing destinations around the globe. The variety of personalities in this group will be forced to get along in foreign environments.

Tour Group is being produced by Monkey Kingdom. Will Macdonald, Jason Crosby and Amy Chacon are serving as executive producers.

Recipe for Deception will be a fast-paced and innovative self-contained cooking competition series where a chef must strategize in addition to having culinary skill. In each episode, host Max Silvestri will guide four new chefs through head-to-head elimination rounds in which they'll be tasked with creating a stunning dish featuring a main ingredient.

However, the twist is that the chefs will have no idea what their main ingredient is while cooking. Based on the popular game "Two Truths and a Lie," the competing chefs will have to ask their opponents three "yes or no" questions in order to determine their mystery ingredient. The opponents must answer two of those questions truthfully while lying about one answer.


Recipe for Deception is being produced by Embassy Row and Realizer Productions with Shauna Minoprio, Matt Berkowitz and Michael Davies serving as executive producers.

Ladies of Dallas, the series' working title, will put a spotlight on the Dallas social scene where glamorous people are involved in scandals and have bad spending habits. These socialites looking to climb the ladder of status are either driven by vanity, personal validation, or career advancement.

The show is being produced by Goodbye Pictures with Rich Bye and Andrew Hoegl serving as executive producers.

Married to Medicine is already a popular franchise. In this Houston spinoff, the largest medical community in the country will be chronicled. The diverse and driven young doctors and their wives may appear to be at the top of their game, but they'll face new obstacles after years of sacrifice and life being on hold. How will they navigate marriage, children, family and social pressure?

Married to Medicine Houston is being produced by Fremantle North America and executive produced by Matt Anderson and Nate Green.


Below Deck Mediterranean, produced by 51 Minds Entertainment, is a spinoff of the Below Deck franchise. In this new series, the yacht-charter season will be chronicled at the Mediterranean Sea. The new European setting will provide great scenery, culture and nightlife with a whole new set of service standards and charter guest demands.

Mark Cronin and Courtland Cox are serving as the executive producers of Below Deck Mediterranean.
