Bravo’s White Hot Reality TV Summer Continues With Ratings Wins Across ‘Below Deck Mediterranean,’ ‘In The City’ & More

Deadline · 3 hours ago

Bravo has posted its strongest ratings performance in more than a year, with the network's primetime lineup topping linear cable entertainment among the key 18-49 demographic in Q2 2026 for the first time in over a year. The success carried over to streaming, with Bravo recording its most-watched quarter ever on Peacock, up 27% year-on-year, driven largely by returning hits and strong new season debuts across several shows.

June proved to be Bravo's best-ever month on Peacock, fuelled by Love Island USA alongside record-breaking premieres for Below Deck Mediterranean, Next Gen NYC and The McBee Dynasty. Below Deck Mediterranean's Season 11 opener drew 3.4 million viewers across platforms in its first week, up 59% year-on-year, while Next Gen NYC's second season hit a series-high 3 million viewers, an 86% increase. The McBee Dynasty's third season reached 2.5 million viewers, up 88%, and new series In the City, a Summer House spinoff, averaged 2 million viewers, ranking among Bravo's top three freshman shows of the past five years ahead of its upcoming two-part reunion.
