Overview

  • The Real Housewives of London premiered on August 18, with the first episode now live on Hayu and remaining instalments scheduled for weekly release.
  • Episode one centres on the ‘teeth gate’ clash between Panthea Parker and Juliet Mayhew over a mutual dentist’s handling of Parker’s child.
  • Amanda Cronin has revealed that producers cut parts of an on-screen argument in the final edit because there was ‘too much drama.’
  • Critics have offered mixed feedback, lauding the series’ production values but calling the opening feud convoluted and tone-deaf in its display of wealth.
  • Hayu is offering seven-day free trials on its Prime Video channel and via Sky, Roku and YouTube PrimeTime to attract new subscribers.
