The Real Housewives of London are coming! The Real Housewives of London are coming! And fans are more than ready for the pomp and circumstance. As the 30th franchise iteration of the series, the new show has a lot to live up to. The newest show will be produced by the team who created Made in Chelsea and the Real Housewives of Cheshire. With all the buzz, let’s take a look at what fans can expect from the newest Real Housewives hit.
Here are the facts about the Real Housewives of London
All right, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty about the Real Housewives of London. The newest series is expected to air sometime in late 2025, but no date has been confirmed for the premiere. However, the announcement of the latest franchise is truly the best news I have heard all year. The announcement came hot off the presses from Hayu’s FanFest. Hayu is an international streaming service for our Canadian, Kiwi, Australian, and British friends. It is owned by NBC Universal International (who also own Bravo) and it’s solely dedicated to reality TV. So you can imagine that Hayu FanFest was their version of Bravocon.
Stars like Lisa Barlow, Sutton Stracke, Jessel Taank, and Ashley Darby were in attendance. The fun-filled weekend took place in London and, dare I say, gave BravoCon fans a run for their money. With that being said, it is important to note that we have no idea if the Real Housewives of London will be available on Bravo. But if I were a betting woman, I would wager it could be streamed the next day on Peacock. All I know is I’m going to need all the apps to ensure a premiere party at my house!
Who are the cast members of the Real Housewives of London
Sadly, I didn’t get a call even though I am a transatlantic wife! Alas, casting is still underway at the time of writing. As Hayu stated, “Nobody serves a good cup of tea like the British—and London’s finest are ready to spill it.” So we can have some fun venturing and guessing who might star in the series. I don’t see Caroline Stanbury heading back overseas to reprise her role, and this isn’t meant to be a Ladies of London sequel. It would be something special if they got a royal for the series. If anything, this would have been Meghan Markle’s time to shine. But I’d also settle for Princess Eugenie or Princess Beatrice.
The rumor mill has gone into overdrive, as some think ladies like Ekin Su, Poppy Delevingne (sister of Cara Delevingne), Trinny Woodall, and Tamara Ecclestone (father was the chief executive of Formula One), and Fran Cutler, who is known for throwing star-studded parties, could be good contenders. One thing is for sure: with a sold-out FanFest, whoever is cast will be in quick succession to become TV royalty.
As a Real Housewives super fan, this is what I need
London is iconic and one of the most vibrant capitals in the world. So, first things first, I hope the newest franchise highlights the sights. I want to see the Secret Theater Club in Covent Garden (a members-only club) and the posh events that the socialites attend, like Wimbledon and the Frieze Masters Art Fair. And even though the Real Housewives of London will most likely be a British release at first, I imagine Hayu is aiming to conquer multiple markets.
That means viewers will need the newest ladies to embrace and show off the typical stereotype, minus the bad teeth, of course. Think extremely sharp tongue over tea at the Mayfair. I want the “Chin up and carry on” mentality to smack me in the face. My guess is the franchise will also look for one house name so fans can have some form of relatability. If you’re launching a totally new city, you want a powerful name. But we have time to sit and ponder as the network begins the hard work. All I know is that when the premiere date is released, I’ll be blocking my holiday so I can binge-watch every episode.
