After The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa of 2024, Showmax and NBCUniversal Formats are once again expanding the tacky reality skein with The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa that will be released on 28 November and see women who have appeared in various iterations of the African franchise go fight with each other in Brazil.
Although MultiChoice last year said that it had probably "over-indexed" on the fighting females reality format, it has greenlit The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa for its streamer, that is produced by GOAT Productions.
Ten women from across Africa, including South Africa are included in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa.that will release on Showmax on 28 November and on M-Net's Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) channel from 29 November.
They are Angel Ndlela, Annie Mthembu and Jojo Robinson from The Real Housewives of Durban, Christall Kay and Evodia Mogase from The Real Housewives of Johannesburg, Catherine Masitsa and Zena Nyambu from The Real Housewives of Nairobi, as well as Marian Timmer from The Real Housewives of Lagos and Princess Jecoco from The Real Housewives of Abuja.
Graeme Swanepoel, executive producer in a prepared quote, says "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa is more than just a reality show, it's a celebration of African womanhood in all its power, diversity and glamour".
"For the first time, we’re bringing together iconic housewives from across the continent to share their worlds, their stories and their sisterhood. It's unapologetically Pan-African, women-led and bursting with the kind of energy and authenticity that makes Africa unlike anywhere else on Earth."
In the statement, Barrie Kelly, vice president of international format production and development for NBCUniversal Formats, says "Every African version of The Real Housewives has captured the vibrant diversity of its country while resonating with audiences both locally and globally".
"With The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa we are taking that energy to the next level. Partnering once again with GOAT Productions and Showmax, this series brings together some of the most formidable Housewives for an unforgettable journey. We can't wait for viewers to join them on the trip of a lifetime to Brazil."
