Bethenny Frankel is returning to her reality TV roots with a competition series at HBO Max.

The Skinnygirl founder and former Real Housewives of New York City star will front an eight-episode series called The Big Shot With Bethenny, in which aspiring business moguls compete for a job on Frankel’s executive team. The Apprentice-like show hails from MGM TV, Mark Burnett and Frankel’s B Real Productions.
