After making household names out of Lisa Vanderpump, NeNe Leakes and Teresa Giudice in the US, ‘Bravo’s ‘Real Housewives’ empire has set its sights on the UK this year, launching the very first British arm of its ratings-grabbing body.

Next year, the UK’s ‘ITVBe’ will join Bravo to launch ‘The Real Housewives of Chesire‘, the very first ‘Housewives’ series to be shot and based in the United Kingdom.
Set in the Greater Manchester area, ‘Chesire’ will follow the lives of affluent housewives and those closest to them, picked up by ITV after they observed the success of its African-American led ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘, the highest rated ‘Housewives’ show in US TV history.
Since 2005, the franchise has launched seven domestic instalments and seven international versions, these including ‘The Real Housewives of Athens’, ‘The Real Housewives of Vancouver‘ and ‘The Real Housewives of Johannesburg.‘
