The announcements, made ahead of the NBCUniversal upfront presentation on May 12, include the addition of “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” a reboot of “Ladies of London,” a new iteration of “Wife Swap” featuring Real Housewives cast members, and a spinoff of “Shahs of Sunset” titled “The Valley: Persian Style.”
New Series and Reboots
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island marks the 13th installment in the “Real Housewives” franchise. Set against the backdrop of the Ocean State, the series will spotlight a close-knit group of Rhode Islanders with deep community ties, long-standing friendships, and complex family dynamics. The show promises to explore their aspirational lifestyles, thriving businesses, and intricate personal histories, highlighting how past relationships and grudges persist in the small state setting.
Ladies of London returns with a fresh cast of British elites and international socialites navigating modern high society in London. The reboot, distinct from the previously announced “Real Housewives of London,” will delve into the lives of ambitious American expats and glamorous international socialites as they redefine what it means to be a woman of status in one of the world’s most iconic cities.
Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition is a new twist on the classic series, bringing together Real Housewives cast members and everyday women to swap lives. The show aims to offer humorous and reflective moments as these women experience life from a different perspective.
The Valley: Persian Style is a spinoff of “Shahs of Sunset,” featuring returning cast members Reza Farahan, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, and Mercedes “MJ” Javid.
