Overview
- Liz McGraw confirmed on July 1, 2026 that she will not return for RHORI Season 2 and said she is stepping back to focus on her family, her work and her passions.
- Her announcement is the first confirmed cast exit as filming for Season 2 gets underway and Bravo has not yet released an official Season 2 roster.
- The show premiered in April and quickly built an audience, with Bravo reporting 2.7 million viewers across platforms in the first seven days after the debut.
- McGraw was one of seven original cast members and was central to several Season 1 confrontations on camera while viewers also discussed her Rhode Island cannabis dispensary and a longtime friend’s ongoing legal matter.
- Her departure could prompt casting changes and sustained viewer attention as producers finalize Season 2, so the next steps to watch are Bravo’s official cast announcement and any replacement hires.
