Production

After the success of The Real Housewives of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Play4 and Streamz started casting for a Flemish franchise. The show was originally conceptualized as, The Real Housewives of Flanders, but during the final phases of the casting process, it was clear that a majority of the women either came from Antwerp or primarily resided there.

After a long casting process, the producers agreed on the cast consisting of: Melissa van Hoydonck, Amy De Winter, Julie Boone, Annelies Schetters, Kiki Rom Colthoff, Natassia Van Kerkvoorde, and Oona Noyen, with Debby Gommeren serving as a "Friend of" cast member. [7] Jill Lilly Cnudde was also supposed to be a cast member on the show after a successful guest appearance on The Real Housewives of Amsterdam, but did take part in the show due to some the producers feeling that Cnudde was too young to be "Housewife" on the show. The first season ran from 17 March 2025 to 23 May 2025.

Prior to the Season 1 reunion, Noyen announced her departure from the show after feeling that the show wasn't what she thought it was going to be. [8] [9] The other women did not know if a second season would happen. [10] Filming for the second season began in June 2025 with "Friend of" Gommeren departing the show and Camelia Craciunescu joining the cast full time. [11] [12] Aisha Van Zele stated that she was approached to take part in the second season but turned down the offer. [13]
