Bravo is making big, ambitious moves for the upcoming TV season. According to their 2014 upfront presentation, the network adding 15 new original shows to its lineup.

“Our strategy of creating a total multi-platform lifestyle experience for our Affluencers is paying off with not just viewership growth across the board, but also loyalty, which is at an all-time high for Bravo,” says Bravo president Frances Berwick. “This diversified new lineup, which includes two scripted series and our first ‘real-time’ docu-series, will satisfy fans and also bring in new affluent viewers.”

The new programs include a “Real Housewives of Atlanta” spinoff with recently-married Kandi Burruss. “Kandi’s Wedding” will document the songstress and new hubby Todd Tucker’s “planning process — including how they’re going to pull of a Coming to America-themed ceremony.”

Returning shows include fan favorites like “Blood, Sweat, & Heels” for season two, “Don’t Be Tardy” for season three, and of course “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” for it’s seventh go-around.

The network is also segueing into the scripted world with two new series. Upcoming half-hour comedy “Odd Mom Left Out” will follow Jill Kargmen as she “struggles to keep up with the wealthy, hip moms of the Upper East Side.” And, “Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce” is about a self-help book author who “needs some help herself after she secretly separates from her husband and finds herself single in her 40s living in Los Angeles.”
