The original “Real Housewives of New York City” are getting the Bravo band back together for a new reality series that takes them from Empire State to the Sunshine State.
Bravo alumni Luann de Lesseps, Jill Zarin, and Ramona Singer will reunite in E!’s “The Golden Life,” according to a press release. Kelly Bensimon and Sonja Morgan — who joined the first iteration of “RHONY” in its second and third season, respectively — will also star.
“In this new ‘golden’ era of life, the longtime friends are thriving in and around Palm Beach with fabulous second homes and a bustling social scene. … The series will follow the group as they navigate dating, family, and career milestones,” reads the logline.
Zarin, 60, and 57-year-old Bensimon departed “RHONY” after the fourth season, with both returning sporadically over the ensuing seasons. De Lesseps, 60, Singer, 69, and 62-year-old Morgan meanwhile all went down with the ship as the show — which debuted in 2008 — fizzled out after its 13th season in 2021.
A younger crop of personalities starred on the “RHONY” reboot that premiered in 2023.
Even so, the former castmates have never wandered too far from their “Real Housewives” roots.
In addition to all having made cameos in different “Housewives” franchises, “The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip” spin-off has welcomed de Lesseps and Singer to its ranks in 2021, Zarin in 2022, as well as Morgan and Bensimon in 2023.
In 2023, De Lesseps and Morgan also starred in Bravo’s short-lived “Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake.”
