- The Real Housewives of London season 2 will be broadcast on Hayu from September 7
- Returning lead actors Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker and Nessie Welschinger
- New Episodes Promise “Shifting Alliances, Growing Tensions, and Unmissable Moments”
Be sharp, reality TV fans: Real Housewives from London Season 2 is scheduled to return to Hayu on September 7.
According to NBCUniversal, The Housewives Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker and Nessie Welschinger are all back, and “old friendships are tested, new loyalties are questioned and even the most glamorous postcode can’t contain the drama.”
The synopsis continues: “In the aftermath of a fractured off-camera dinner, the women attempt to move forward through charity galas, the front rows of Fashion Week, Lunar New Year celebrations and a breathtaking trip to Antigua.”
After the September 7 premiere, the remaining episodes are expected to air weekly. With 10 episodes in total, the season will culminate with a reunion special hosted by author and podcaster Katherine Ryan.
It’s this last detail that gives me the most trouble…and I desperately hope that the hit series doesn’t repeat the same mistake that so many international versions make year after year.
Opinion: Real Housewives needs to change the format of its reunion show ASAP
Look on it
I would apologize for being a hater, but it actually serves me well to be a housewife myself. After watching several episodes of nasty VT, explosive confrontations, and domestic setups that are truly mind-boggling, I often feel my shoulders sinking when the reunion show rolls around.
Essentially, a host will sit the entire cast down in a live studio format to recap the drama from past episodes, getting their individual perspective on what happened and if anything has changed since filming.
If you hate overly edited and contrived TV scenes like me, this is an absolute nightmare. It’s part of Real Housewives’ intellectual property that the drama is both heightened and engineered, but Reunion shows channel that in the most inorganic way possible.
At least if someone is fighting in a restaurant over a kitchen island, they are truly in the moment: they don’t have to express their emotions too much because they feel them in real time. But looking back on the past is just a way to create a viral moment rather than engaging television.
Instead, I’d rather see the reunion scrapped altogether to allow the next season (which wasn’t given the green light in this case) to arrive as soon as possible.
Real Housewives from London season 3 won’t be a bad decision for anyone, so what are we waiting for?
