There's a brand new Real Housewives franchise coming in 2025
By Lacey Womack
Hayu is a streaming service owned by NBC Universal that services Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK and on October 26, they hosted their own event called Hayu FanFest, similar to the Bravocon fans in the US know and love. Along with having some major Bravo stars like Lisa Barlow and Sutton Stracke head across the pond to attend the big event, fans were also given some big news in the form of a brand new Real Housewives installment.
As Hayu said on their Instagram page, no one knows tea like the British and fans can really expect it to get spilled when The Real Housewives of London makes its premiere in 2025.
Who are The Real Housewives of London?
Unfortunately for eager fans that can't wait to find out more about the new cast and see which of London's "It" girls have been cast in the series, the news of the show is just too new to be able to say yet. Because the show was only announced at Hayu FanFest on October 26th, it's too soon to know anything about the new cast yet.
Despite the fact that Hayu is reportedly still working on casting the series, fans have already begun the speculation about which of London's celebrities will be cast in the series.
Some of the names being tossed around among Real Housewives fans include British socialites like Poppy Delevigne, Kate Moss' ex-BFF Fran Culter (who re-posted an article about her casting -- coincidence?), and stars we know and love from other reality shows like Love Island star Ekin Su.
Fans have also been hoping to see Meghan Markle on the series with rumors of her joining a Real Housewives series spawning all the way back in 2020 when fans hoped to see her on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after her departure from royal life, getting a royal on the show seems less likely than casting a reality TV veteran like Caroline Stanbury or Olivia Jade Attwood.
Will The Real Housewives of London be on Bravo or Peacock?
Again, it's unfortunately way too soon to know any details about the series just yet and this question is particularly up in the air because the show is being produced by and airing on Hayu instead of Bravo.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire, the original UK Real Housewives installment, isn't available on Peacock, but that's not to say that the new London-focused series won't be. Because Hayu is owned by NBC, it's entirely possible that they'll choose to put the series on their streaming service in order to maximize its viewers and give international viewers a look into London's high life.
