The Real Housewives of Dubai won’t be returning to Bravo for season 3 anytime soon, and executive producer Andy Cohen tells PEOPLE the decision isn’t personal.
“It’s just smart business,” Cohen, 56, says, while on the red carpet of Bravo Fan Fest 2024 on Saturday, Nov. 23 in Miami, Fla. “We have a lot of Housewives going right now. And it’s one of the reasons it took so long to get The Real Housewives of Atlanta going, and one of the reasons we’re in a deep pause with The Real Housewives of New Jersey. We just want to make sure we get everything right and be very deliberate with everything we’re doing.”
Network executives told cast members from RHODubai that their show was going on pause earlier this month, PEOPLE can confirm.
