The Real Housewives of Rhode Island is set in the Ocean State, America\u2019s smallest state by area, but seemingly not by drama.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a place where everyone knows everyone and family names carry serious weight, nothing is ever truly forgotten. Friendships are built over decades, loyalties are deeply rooted and secrets are guarded at all costs \u2026 until betrayal strikes and the cracks begin to show,\u201d reads the logline for the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmid a season defined by evolving relationships and rising tensions, some of the group\u2019s most pivotal moments unfold during unforgettable escapes. As the summer heat sizzles in Rhode Island, the ladies retreat to one of Newport\u2019s most historic and privately owned mansions, Seaview Terrace, for a glamorous weekend that rivals the Gilded Age, where opulence sets the stage for major shake-ups. Later, a sun-drenched excursion to beloved East Coast getaway Block Island pushes tensions to a breaking point as two couples go head-to-head. When lines are crossed and truths surface, nothing \u2013 and no one \u2013 is off limits.\u201d<\/p>\n
