London is about to get a little more fabulous, as The Real Housewives of London has officially been announced.
Reality TV streaming service Hayu confirmed that the UK’s capital will join the iconic franchise, with the new series set to premiere in 2025.
Produced by Monkey (Made in Chelsea), this will be Hayu’s first-ever original commission, and fans are already buzzing about the glamour, drama, and personalities that could be heading our way.
Following in the footsteps of Bravo’s Ladies of London from 2014-2017, which showcased the lives of high-society women in the capital, this new series promises to bring even more glamour and drama.
The announcement was made during the first-ever Hayu FanFest, held on Saturday (26 October), where reality TV lovers gathered to mingle with Hayu royalty including Sutton Stracke, Lisa Barlow, and Andy Cohen himself.
“Fans have been calling for a London version for years, and we’re excited to make that happen,” said Olga Puzanova, SVP of marketing at Hayu, in a statement. “Expect London’s most stylish, fiery, and unapologetic personalities to bring the drama.”
