The programming move sees Foxtel screening two of its most popular originals ever in successive months with episodes of the final season of Wentworth going to air over the next few weeks.
Foxtel is promising The Real Housewives of Melbourne returns for its highly anticipated latest season with four new fabulous, fashion forward, feisty woman who sashay in on their Louboutin heels to join three of the much-loved original cast. “It’s set to be an emotionally charged series where sparks will fly!”
The season five cast includes returning Housewives Gamble Breaux, Jackie Gillies, Janet Roach and four new ladies – yoga guru and wellbeing fanatic Cherry Dipietrantonio, businesswoman and lover of fashion Simone Elliott, entrepreneur and ‘Champagne Dame’ Kyla Kirkpatrick and award-winning journalist and former CNN news anchor Anjali Rao.
Original cast members Gina Liano and Lydia Schiavello earlier made the decision to leave the series and are not part of Season 5.
Foxtel’s group general manager LifeStyle, Wendy Moore, commented when the new cast was revealed earlier this year: “The Real Housewives of Melbourne has had our fans on the edge of their seat – desperate for its return. It’s quite simply the most popular reality program, loved by our audiences for the fun, outrageous and laugh-out-loud personalities. We are thrilled with the new line-up of strong, successful women and can’t wait for viewers to get a window into their lives – it is sure to be, once again, compulsive viewing.”
The 10-part hugely popular reality TV series is produced by Matchbox Pictures, part of NBCUniversal International Studios, in conjunction with Foxtel.
