Move over Beverly Hills and New Jersey—London is officially entering the Housewives universe. NBCUniversal has unveiled the cast for The Real Housewives of London, and let’s just say, these women are bringing serious sparkle, status, and storylines to the capital.
Set to premiere on Hayu later this year, The Real Housewives of London marks a major milestone as the reality streamer’s first-ever original commission. The cast includes six women who embody luxury, legacy, and a healthy dose of British drama: Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker, and Nessie Welschinger.
Who’s Who in the London Lineup?
If Juliet Angus’s name rings a bell, that’s because she’s no stranger to the genre. A founding member of Ladies of London, Angus returns as a Chicago-born lifestyle blogger, stylist, influencer, and ex-fashion publicist. Joining her is Amanda Cronin, a former model turned entrepreneur and beauty mogul. She’s the brains behind Amanda Caroline Beauty and runs a high-end wellness clinic, The Secret Door.
Karen Loderick-Peace, once seen on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is a fashion force in the making. Originally from Jamaica, she’s now UK-based and working on launching her own fashion line. Juliet Mayhew brings a crown to the crew—she’s a former Miss Galaxy Universe winner and the powerhouse behind a thriving event planning company.
Panthea Parker, who moved from Iran to the U.K. as a child, is known for her opulent lifestyle and being a mother of four. Rounding out the cast is Nessie Welschinger, once a global head of equity at Schroders, who now runs the Chelsea Cake Company and showcased her baking finesse on Bake Off: The Professionals.
Big Drama in Big Ben’s Backyard
According to the official synopsis, viewers can expect everything from “lavish dinners” and “Scottish castle getaways” to champagne-fueled heart-to-hearts. The show promises to explore “life, legacy and loyalty” in one of the world’s most iconic cities. “With big personalities, deep histories and no shortage of designer drama, the path to connection is never simple — but it’s always captivating,” the statement adds.
A Bold Move for Hayu
“Following an extremely popular casting process, we’re excited to confirm the group of dynamic women who make up The Real Housewives of London,” said Hendrik McDermott, managing director at Hayu. “This is Hayu’s first-ever commission of an original series… brought to life through these six leading ladies.”
Helen Kruger Bratt of UTAS U.K. Productions echoed the enthusiasm: “Our fabulous new cast delivers everything fans could wish for — glamour, drama and friendship with a unique London edge.”
And in Other London News…
This announcement comes hot on the heels of Bravo’s decision to reboot Ladies of London, the cult-favorite series that aired from 2014 to 2017. While that reboot will feature an entirely new cast and be produced by BBC Studios, it’s clear Real Housewives of London is officially back in the spotlight for reality TV fans everywhere.
