NBC Universal’s reality SVOD, Hayu, has booked a new version of the Real Housewives franchise, The Real Housewives of London, with Monkey set to produce.
Made in Chelsea producer, Monkey, will make the show for a late 2025 TX. The announcement was made at the Hayu Fanfest in London this weekend.
Hendrik McDermott, managing director of Hayu and EMEA Networks and international direct-to-consumer at NBCUniversal, said: “Tonight’s announcement of ‘The Real Housewives of London’ is Hayu’s first-ever commission of an original series and yet another key milestone in the growth story of our all-reality streaming service.
“It makes sense that such an iconic location in the U.K. – a core Hayu market – would feature into our strategy to further amplify our offering with original content that super-serves loyal fans. We look forward to being the exclusive home of this latest installment in the wildly popular ‘The Real Housewives’ franchise.”
Helen Kruger Bratt, MD of Monkey, said: “We are delighted to bring fans ’The Real Housewives of London’ thanks to the new U.K. commission with Hayu. Hayu is the ideal destination for this well-loved reality series and will give audiences direct access to all the drama of this new set of British Housewives. This is the 30th international iteration of the iconic ’Housewives’ format, and it’s safe to say, the audience will not be disappointed!”
