It was ratings for both. LOL just had bad ratings across the board. Miami did well on streaming but it's live numbers were terrible and it didn't have enough to justify continuing it. Personally, my controversial idea to save Miami is to bring in Joseline and one other black wife (maybe Amara Le Negra) and I think the black audience they'd bring would give the show enough viewers to be sustainable.
With Ladies of London, I feel two ways: Bringing this show back was Bravo being shady and trying to undercut Real Housewives of London. Hayu had a London-based BravonCon and brought Andy and a bunch of housewives over to announce that show. Instead of working with Hayu and bringing the show to Bravo (which they're doing now), they suddenly decided to bring this back. Rumor has it there was lots of drama with casting with Bravo poaching people like Kemi and Juliet Angus was supposed to be here which is why she showed up so late on RHOLDN.
Based on how it came about I feel like this is karma but I won't deny that Ladies of London was an excellent reboot, far better than the original show. It just couldn't find an audience. On Peacock the show was rarely in the top ten and never in the top five.
