Bravo has set Tuesday, Oct. 14 (9 PM) for the premiere of Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition. Episodes will be available to stream next day on Peacock.
Based on both Wife Swap and The Real Housewives. the four-episode Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition will follow a member of The Real Housewives who must “take off her stilettos and step into a real housewife’s shoes.”
Real Housewives featured are Angie Katsanevas (Salt Lake City), Emily Simpson (Orange County), Melissa Gorga (New Jersey) and Dr. Wendy Osefo (Potomac).
Each standalone episode follows a different Real Housewife and real wife as they navigate swapping their everyday comforts and luxuries to fully immerse themselves in a vastly different familial experience, per the official synopsis. “Through unexpected conflicts, eye-opening moments and emotional breakthroughs, the journey challenges everything they thought they knew about themselves and the world around them. Through this process, the Real Housewives will question if they can appreciate the lives they left behind and conversely, the real wives will question whether the aspirational lives showcased on reality TV are truly as glamorous as they appear.”
Wife Swap, based on a Banijay format, ran for six seasons on ABC as well as two seasons on Paramount Network.
Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition is produced by Truly Original (a Banijay Americas company) with Steven Weinstock, Glenda Hersh, Lauren Eskelin, Jamie Jakimo, Lorraine Lawson, Jennifer Lane and Rebecca Hertz serving as executive producers. Brian Appel and Chris Wereski are co-executive producers.
