The Simple Life stars have signed up for a new reality TV show, Page Six can confirm.

While it is unclear what the series’s premise will be, sources told TMZ Wednesday that the new project will differ from their show from the early 2000s.

The unnamed series reportedly has been in the works for months, with the two socialites going back and forth with different ideas until finally landing on one proposal.

However, cameras have not started rolling as production is still in the early stages.

Despite that, an “all-out bidding war” ensued after production companies learned that Hilton, 43, and Richie, 42, were teaming up again, according to the report.

Although it is unclear which network snagged the new series, James Corden’s production company, Fulwell 73, reportedly won the rights to shoot it.

The Simple Life aired from 2003 to 2007 and followed Hilton and Richie as they attempted to do menial, low-paying jobs in the real world.

While the show only ran for five seasons, it is still referenced as an iconic piece of pop culture to this day.

Both Hilton and Richie hinted that something was in the works on Instagram Wednesday by posting identical collages of photos from their younger years.

“From Day 1: Sill and Bill,” they both captioned the nostalgic posts, using their Simple Life nicknames for each other.

The hotel heiress also seemingly left a clue about her and Richie’s new project last month while promoting her new self-tanner.

Hilton recreated one of her most iconic looks from the 2000s series in an ad for The Future Airbrush 360 Self-Tan Mist.

The mother of two rocked an updated version of the denim corset and miniskirt that she wore in an American Gothic-themed promo shoot for the reality show.

While her updated look included a red rosette choker like the one she wore in the series’s poster, Hilton wore a lace-up denim dress rather than a two-piece set.

In addition to the upcoming show, Hilton currently stars in her own Peacock series, Paris in Love.
