Binge has confirmed a new series of The Real Housewives of Sydney, which has been heavily rumoured for some time.

Cast are yet to be announced.

The 10-part series will be produced by Matchbox Pictures, will film across Sydney over the coming months.

Binge Executive Director, Alison Hurbert-Burns, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing The Real Housewives of Sydney series to Binge viewers. The Real Housewives franchise is wildly popular across the globe, and we felt a cosmopolitan city like Sydney needed again to have a brand-new local version.

“We have a great team of creative forces driving the fresh series and with our production partner Matchbox Pictures, part of Universal International Studios, who first introduced fans to The Real Housewives franchise, we can’t wait to introduce Australians to the new group of Sydney housewives, in this reimagined series.”

Alastair McKinnon, Matchbox Pictures Managing Director, said, “The Real Housewives franchise is a global phenomenon, and it is high time that Australia’s most spectacular and iconic city steps back into the spotlight. We have assembled a sensational cast of amazing women who are going to perfectly showcase Sydney’s beauty, glamour and intrigue for audiences in Australia and around the world. We are so excited to be working with Binge which is the perfect home for this reinvigorated new chapter.”

The Real Housewives franchise is distributed by NBCUniversal Formats, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group. There are currently 23 international adaptations of the global hit Format including recent launches in Nairobi, Amsterdam, Abuja and The Winelands.

  2. If this is half as bat-sh** cray cray as the original series, it might be worth the watch. But what I’d love to know is when / if a new Melbourne series is coming? I need more Janet, Jackie and Gamble!

  3. I am so ready for this trash to hit my screen! If the last season is anything to go by, this season is going to be crazy! Please cast Roxy Jacenko and Terry Biviano!!!

    I agree that we should have a “Down Under” version of RHUGT. It’d be great to see Gina Liano and Lisa Oldfield going hammer and tong at each other!

  5. If Foxtel/Binge wants a housewives sugar hit, they should look at commissioning a ‘Down Under’ adaptation of RH Ultimate Girls Trip with ‘all-stars’ from the Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland series. Would have a lot of fans! They could also invite Alex McCord, an OG from RHONY who now lives in Byron to appear to help with international sales. She is on the next season of RHUGT which filmed in Morocco.

    The Girls Trip format allows them to cast people who may not want to commit to a whole series – someone like Gina Liano could potentially be persuaded to come back.
