Caroline Manzo Reportedly In Talks For Her Own Bravo Spinoff Based On Her Family Business
August 13, 2013 by Lindsay Cronin
Caroline Manzo has been starring on The Real Housewives of New Jersey for five seasons and now, she may finally be spinning off to her own series. According to a new report, the Manzo family is in talks with Bravo to begin filming a series surrounding their popular family business, The Brownstone.
Caroline’s husband Albert Manzo owns the popular New Jersey restaurant venue and catering business and for the past 30 years, it has been a fixture in their family. Both of the couple’s sons, Chris and Albie, work at the location and daughter Lauren spends plenty of time as well, as do other members of their family including Chris and Jacqueline Laurita.
The NY Post confirms that the Manzo family is being lined up for the new series, but so far, there has been no word from Bravo.
Caroline and her family have made a name for themselves on The Real Housewives of New Jersey as stable, business-minded people with strong family values and watching them has been a joy. They are tight-knit and solid and also hilarious which makes for good TV.
Viewers would surely love to see more of the Manzo family’s day-to-day life and having a series about the Brownstone seems to be something that could properly show that. Working together as a family is a beautiful thing but being together both at work and at home often comes with plenty of drama — especially for the Manzo boys who currently live together in Hoboken.
Caroline’s possible new series would mark the first of a Real Housewives of New Jersey star. In the past, several wives including Bethenny Frankel and Kim Zolciak have been awarded with their own specials, but no one from Jersey has yet to take that step.
