The Real Housewives of London is finally here. Yes, after a 20-year wait, the franchise has finally made it from the US to the UK capital.
The infamous show, which has been a fixture of the US reality TV scene since 2006, gives viewers a glimpse into the chaotic world of an elite group of women, most of whom are over the age of 40, as they navigate everything from married life to motherhood to friendship to divorce to mid-life dating to domestic life. It's a lot of property porn, rivalries and drama. And we're here for the British version.
The show kicks off this evening on Hayu in the UK, and we could not be more ready to meet the new housewives set to take over our screens.
