Bravo takes "Manhattan Moms"

By Kimberly Nordyke

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - From Orange County to Manhattan, Bravo is set to bring viewers more insight into how the other half lives.

The cable network said Thursday that it has started production on a docudrama series tentatively titled "Manhattan Moms," which follows an eclectic group of New York-based socialites and their families.

The hour-long series will take a look at the real-life drama of this exclusive society, from their overscheduled lives of private schools, charity events and running businesses to escaping to their summer homes in the Hamptons.

Bravo has already found success with the similarly themed "The Real Housewives of Orange County," which focuses on an upper-class group of women and their families in southern California.

The number of episodes and premiere date have yet to be determined.
