''The Real Housewives of Atlanta'' (abbreviated ''RHOA'') is an American reality television series that premiered on October 7, 2008, on Bravo. Developed as the third installment of ''The Real Housewives'' franchise, following ''The Real Housewives of Orange County'' and ''New York City'', it is currently in its seventh season and focuses on the personal and professional lives of several women residing in Atlanta, Georgia. The series originally focused on Lisa Wu-Hartwell, DeShawn Snow, NeNe Leakes, Kim Zolciak, and Sheree Whitfield; the eighth season lineup consists of Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Phaedra Parks, Kenya Moore, and Porsha Williams. Of the original housewives, Snow, Wu-Hartwell, and Whitfield respectively left after the first, second, and fourth seasons; Zolciak stopped filming during production of the fifth season; and Leakes left after the seventh. The remaining housewives joined in later seasons; Burruss in the second, Bailey and Parks in the third, and Moore and Williams in the fifth (the latter of whom was a friend of the housewives in the seventh). Past housewives include Claudia Jordan (season 7). ''The Real Housewives of Atlanta'' has received moderately favorable reviews from critics and has been recognized as a "guilty pleasure" by several media outlets. However, the series has been criticized for appearing to fabricate portions of its storyline. As of February 2014, it was the highest-rated installment of ''The Real Housewives'' franchise and the most-watched series airing on Bravo. Its success has resulted in the conceptions of the spin-offs ''The Kandi Factory'' (featuring Burruss), ''Don't Be Tardy'' (featuring Zolciak), ''I Dream of NeNe: The Wedding'' (featuring Leakes), ''Kandi's Wedding'' and ''Kandi's Ski Trip'' (again, featuring Burruss). ==Overview and casting== ''The Real Housewives of Atlanta'' was announced as the third installment in ''The Real Housewives'' franchise, intending to capitalize on the successes of its predecessors ''The Real Housewives of Orange County'' and ''New York City''.
