The ‘Real Housewives of London’ makes its US network debut on Bravo on Tuesday, 21 July 2026 at 21:00 ET (04:00 SAST on Wednesday, 22 July 2026), the first time an international franchise has crossed over in full.
The show already aired on UK streaming service Hayu last year, so Bravo is importing a fully finished season, as reported by Variety.
That means a built-in second run is filmed and ready to roll the moment fans want more.
‘Real Housewives of London’ lands on Bravo at last
This is a first for Bravo in this format. The network has dabbled in London-set drama before, but importing a fully formed international Housewives franchise, cast, chaos and all, marks new territory.
Rather than build a spinoff from scratch, it picked up a show already made and ready.
Season one gathers six women for the drama: Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker and Nessie Welschinger. That is two Juliets, a wealth of postcodes and, if the trailer is anything to go by, plenty of simmering tension waiting to boil over.
The trailer sets the tone with the nursery rhyme London Bridge Is Falling Down playing over a lavish dinner party in Scotland that quickly curdles into a barrage of insults.
It is dramatic, it is petty and it is exactly what you signed up for.
Between the shouting matches come the champagne problems only this crowd could conjure. Think a broken diamond bracelet, a caviar shortage and pointed critiques of somebody’s plastic surgery.
The stakes are gloriously low and the delivery is anything but.
Familiar Bravo faces drop into ‘Real Housewives of London’
Longtime Bravo watchers get a treat too. Season one features cameo appearances from Dorinda Medley of The Real Housewives of New York and Caroline Stanbury of Ladies of London and The Real Housewives of Dubai. Two franchise veterans, one very British-flavoured mess.
London-set Housewives drama is not new to Bravo’s orbit. Ladies of London has been on pause for a while, and scooping up the UK’s own format fills that gap neatly.
Better yet, the network already has a second season filmed and waiting in the wings.
For Bravo, that filmed-and-ready follow-up is the real prize.
It means the network can keep the momentum going without waiting on a fresh production cycle, handing fans a second helping while the first is still new. In reality-TV terms, that is a rare luxury.
When to watch Real Housewives of London
New episodes air weekly on Bravo, and from Tuesday, 4 August 2026 the show shifts to a 20:00 ET slot (03:00 SAST) with back-to-back episodes.
Every instalment also lands on Peacock the next day, so nobody in the group chat needs to miss a champagne meltdown.
