Foxtel May Extend The Real Housewives Franchise To Other Parts Of Australia


Botox epicentres in Sydney and the Gold Coast are reportedly being considered as potential spinoff locations for The Real Housewives Of Melbourne aka All You Other Bitches Better Step The Fuck Down And Kiss The Ring Because I Straight Murder People: The Gina Liano Story

Per news.com.au: “Sources tell News Corp Australia that makers of the Foxtel series have quietly scoped out both Sydney and the Gold Coast as settings for a potential spin-off. Filming on the second season of The Real Housewives of Melbourne only recently commenced, but it’s understood there is a long-term view to expand the franchise. While that exploration is preliminary at best for now, it suggests producers Matchbox are keen to take the formula to a second setting.”

Kylie Washington, series EP and head of unscripted content at Matchbox Pictures, said there’s potential for a spinoff.
“I think we can handle another,” she said. “It will never be like the States where there are several different franchises running. It’s not sustainable and you don’t want to flood the market. But I think there’s scope to take it (elsewhere).”
“We’d love to do a Housewives everywhere. This show has obviously piqued people’s interest because this is something that hasn’t been explored that much. The voyeuristic side of all of us has been delighted.”
Season two of the Australian reality series most likely to make you question everything you thought you knew about Silverchair airs next year on Arena.
