Bravo has placed 'Ladies of London: The New Reign' on pause after just one season, the network confirmed. The reboot, which premiered in March, featured a new cast including Lady Emma Thynn, Martha Lady Sitwell, and Mark-Francis Vandelli. Despite critical acclaim, the show failed to attract a wider audience, leading to its hiatus.
The original 'Ladies of London' ran for three seasons from 2014 to 2017. The reboot was announced in May 2025 but was notably absent from Bravo's list of renewed series at the NBCUniversal upfront. Bravo rarely cancels shows permanently, using 'on pause' as a term for potential future returns.
The 10-episode season received praise from critics, with Kevin Fallon of The Daily Beast calling it 'the best new Bravo show in years.' The New York Times profiled Martha Lady Sitwell, highlighting her magpie Hecate. The inclusion of gay man Mark-Francis Vandelli in the cast broke new ground for the franchise.
Meanwhile, Hayu's 'The Real Housewives of London,' which launched last fall, has been renewed for a second season. The show features Juliet Angus, a former cast member of the original 'Ladies of London.' Reports suggest 'The Real Housewives of London' may air on Bravo in the future.
'Ladies of London: The New Reign' was produced by BBC Studios, with executive producers including Ryan O'Dowd and Krystal Whitney.
