The Real Housewives of London, which debuted on Hayu earlier this year, is reportedly set to merge with ITVBe's The Real Housewives of Cheshire for a crossover series. The move comes after just one season of the London-based show, which introduced viewers to cast members including Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, and Karen Loderick-Peace.
A source close to the series told The Sun that the merger is being developed by the same production company behind both shows. The source said: 'Hardcore reality fans aren’t welded to one particular Housewives franchise and love the mess, b******* and glamour the whole brand represents. In real life, many of the cast of Cheshire and London know each other casually and it would be so easy for the northern ladies to attend an event featured on London or vice versa.'
The news follows the dramatic reunion of The Real Housewives of London, hosted by comedian Katherine Ryan. Ryan, who was heavily pregnant at the time, joked that the events sent her into labour. She said: 'It was really explosive. These women did not hold back... There were a lot of tears. There was screaming. Production had to come out.'
The Real Housewives franchise began in 2006 with The Real Housewives of Orange County and has since expanded to include cities such as New York, Atlanta, and Beverly Hills, as well as international spin-offs in Australia, Dubai, and Canada.
