Real Housewives of Sydney is back. Who has made the cut?

Binge has finally confirmed it is filming a long-awaited second season of The Real Housewives of Sydney. Here is what we know so far.

Sally Obermeder looks set to give reality TV a crack.

Word from the Sydney social set is that the former The Daily Edition host is about to start shooting a reinvigorated take on The Real Housewives of Sydney for Binge.

While the streaming service would not comment on casting, it has confirmed the series has been commissioned and production imminent.

“We are thrilled to be bringing The Real Housewives of Sydney series to Binge viewers,” Binge executive director Alison Hurbert-Burns said.

“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.

Sally Obermeder is rumoured to be joining the reboot.

Krissy Marsh and Nicole O’Neil are reported to be returning.

“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.”

There have been 11 Real Housewives franchises in the US alone, the first of which launched in 2006 with The Real Housewives of Orange County, and more than 20 international adaptations. Five season of The Real Housewives of Melbourne ran from 2014 to 2021.

It is the second ever season of Housewives for Sydney, with the first incarnation launched on Foxtel in 2017 and starring the likes of Lisa Oldfield, Melissa Tkautz and Victoria Rees.

Krissy Marsh and Nicole O’Neil are the only former castmates tipped to be returning, although, again, BINGE would not comment on casting.

The 10-part series promises to deliver “a new generation of Sydney’s glamorous and wealthy women” welcoming viewers into their homes and lives to “witness the friendships, fashion, social events and drama”.

“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,” Matchbox Pictures MD Alastair McKinnon said.

“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.”
