Good afternoon, everyone. It's official: "The Real Housewives of D.C." has been picked up by Bravo, and will, in fact, be coming to your TV set at some point in 2010.

Says a Bravo press release:

Bravo scouted the D.C. area to identify the city's alluring and discriminating residents, the women who have their pulse on the most important cultural events, political galas, gallery openings and fundraisers in Washington society. The season will bring viewers inside the lives and homes of movers and shakers in the community, all connected in different ways to the political arena.

The cast, however, is still "to be determined." We'll keep you posted.

Meanwhile, catch up on our past D.C. "Housewives" coverage here, here and here.
