“The Real Housewives of London” is coming to the U.S.
The show, the first season of which premiered on U.K. streamer Hayu last year, has been acquired by Bravo and will air on the network weekly starting July 21 at 9
p.m. ET/PT. On Aug. 4, it will shift to the 8 p.m. slot with back-to-back episodes. All episodes will be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
The London housewives include Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker and Nessie Welschinger. Season 2 has recently wrapped filming and is set to premiere on Hayu later this year.
“‘The Real Housewives of London’ introduces six glamorous, stylish and bold women who are making their mark across the capital’s most prestigious postcodes,” the show’s synopsis reads. “From Belgravia to Chelsea, these women balance ambition, family and fierce friendships — all while living life at full volume. Whether hosting lavish dinners, escaping to a Scottish castle, or rebuilding bonds over bottles of champagne, they’re navigating life, legacy and loyalty in a city where wealth whispers and grudges roar. With big personalities, deep histories and no shortage of designer drama, the path to connection is never simple — but it’s always captivating. London’s calling… and this group always answers.”
The news come a week after the reboot of “Ladies of London” — another U.K.-based reality show that premiered on Bravo in March — was put on pause at the network. The original series, which featured London housewife Angus, ran for three seasons from 2014 to 2017. The reboot, titled “The New Reign,” featured Lady Emma Thynn, Martha Lady Sitwell, Lottie Kane, Missè Beqiri, Kimi Murdoch, Myka Meier, Margo Stilley and Mark-Francis Vandelli, notably the first man in the main cast of a “Housewives”-style show.
“The Real Housewives of London” is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio U.K. Productions, a division of Universal Studio Group, for Hayu. “The Real Housewives” format is licensed globally by NBCUniversal Formats, a division of Universal Studio Group.
