Bravo and TLC are American TV networks that have aired many iconic reality TV shows from franchises like The Real Housewives and Cake Boss. Often, these shows focus on niche interests and problems, ranging from wedding dress shopping to tackling strange addictions. Despite most of these shows’ seemingly odd premises, they still have a large viewer base tuning into the shows. The audience is driven to watch these shows based on the intrigue surrounding them, which further drives the online discourse.
Clips from Bravo and TLC reality TV shows go viral every so often, along with memes, quotes, and popular TikTok sounds. Series from classic reality TV franchises continue to soar in popularity, and fans of these shows actively consume even reruns of older seasons. Last month's line-up on the platforms was robust, with releases like The Real Housewives of Dubai and 7 Little Johnstons.
Viewers can look forward to another exciting line-up of shows next month with season renewals of classic franchises and brand new reality shows. Here are three Bravo and TLC TV shows, all set to premiere in September.
Three September releases from Bravo and TLC

In 90 Day: The Single Life, each season follows six individuals from the 90 day universe who’ve had unsuccessful international relationships and embark on a new dating journey. The show debuted in 2021, and the third season will premiere on September 12, 2022.

3) Sister Wives
Sister Wives is an American reality TV series that premiered on TLC back in 2010. The show revolves around Kody, a young man with four wives and 18 children. The show explores the interpersonal dynamics of this progressive polygamist family, following their hardships, unique challenges, and struggles of balancing honesty and love.
The seventeenth season of the show will premiere on September 11, 2022. The series has maintained quite a high viewership base as fans are intrigued by the documentation of the polygamous relationship, spanning over a decade now.
The show has been quite controversial, with people often criticizing the way Kody treats women in his life. On the flip-side, people have also attributed widespread social awareness about polyamorous relationships to the show. A google review reads:
Been watching since the first episode. I appreciate their willingness to educate us all about polygamy. TLC has done a great job with a tastefully done show. I really like the show.
Since the family has been filmed so closely for over a decade, fans of the show feel like a part of it, demanding season renewals. The teaser of the latest season hints at one of the wives deciding to exit the marriage, and fans have expressed their excitement to see the events of this season unfold on multiple platforms.
