- "The Real Housewives of London" Season 2 premieres Sept. 7 on Hayu in the U.K., with new episodes dropping weekly across a 10-episode season.
- All six original cast members — Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker and Nessie Welschinger — are returning for the second round, with no new additions announced.
- Season 2's official synopsis picks up after a fracturing off-camera dinner, with storylines spanning charity galas, Fashion Week front rows, Lunar New Year celebrations and a group trip to Antigua.
- Katherine Ryan returns to host the reunion special following the 10-episode run.
- Season 1 is finally set to air in the U.S. on Bravo and Peacock, premiering July 21 with episodes dropping weekly and streaming the next day on Peacock.
- TAS UK Productions, the division of Universal Studio Group behind "SNL U.K." and "Made in Chelsea," produces the series, which was Hayu's first original commission; the "Real Housewives" franchise is distributed internationally by NBCUniversal Formats.
Why it matters: The back-to-back schedule — Bravo/Peacock debuting Season 1 stateside on July 21, then Hayu dropping Season 2 internationally on Sept. 7 — compresses the franchise's typical transatlantic gap into under seven weeks, a notably tight runway for a Housewives property and a vote of confidence from Hayu after the show was its first original commission.
