Hayu – the all-reality, SVoD service from NBCUniversal – has announced the commission of its first original series. Produced by Monkey, The Real Housewives of London will be the next instalment in the popular franchise and will premiere on the service in late 2025.

The announcement was made during the first-ever Hayu FanFest held at Magazine London on October 26th.

“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,” commented Hendrik McDermott, MD, Hayu, EMEA Networks & International Direct-To-Consumer, NBCUniversal. “It makes sense that such an iconic location in the UK – 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 instalment in the wildly popular The Real Housewives franchise.”

The series will go into production in Q1 2025 and casting is currently underway to find personalities to showcase the glamour of living in London.

“We are delighted to bring fans The Real Housewives of London thanks to the new UK commission with Hayu,” added Helen Kruger Bratt, Managing Director of Monkey. “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.”
