Episodes
Ratings
Miami Social has been met with few viewers, low ratings, and negative press. The network thus attempted to create a second season where the show would be recompiled into another series called Miami Social Club, but eventually by February 2011 the network decided instead to go with a different concept and instead structured the Miami Social Club idea into another extension of their The Real Housewives franchise. The filmed footage premiered as The Real Housewives of Miami on February 22, 2011.
