Bravo announced the addition of two new sets of housewives to the already-overflowing pot of drama in 2016: "The Real Housewives of Potomac" and "The Real Housewives of Dallas."

This January, "The Real Housewives of Potomac" will give franchise fans a look into the lavish lives of the Maryland town's wealthiest, most notable women: model and TV personality Katie Rost, socialites Charrisse Jackson-Jordan and Gizelle Bryant, publicist Robyn Dixon, Grand Dame Karen Huger and restauranteur Ashley Darby.

As shown in the sneak peek above, the women are fighting the good fight against racial barriers in quiet Potomac, where Gizelle Bryant says "the African-American community is extremely small and everybody wants to get in."

In addition to partying, yachting and brunching, common themes in the lives of the Potomac elite are etiquette, money, power and respect.

In other words, they're sure to fit in with their "Housewives" counterparts in Orange County, New Jersey, New York City, Beverly Hills, Miami, DC and Atlanta. (Although, "The Real Housewives of DC" was canceled after just one season.)

"The Real Housewives of Potomac" will premiere Sunday, January 17 at 9 pm ET.

"The Real Housewives of Dallas" will introduce a new group of Southern belles to the Bravo family (yet to be cast) and air later in the year.
