The Real Housewives of South Netherlands ( Dutch : The Real Housewives van het Zuiden), often abbreviated as RHVHZ, is a Dutch reality television series that premiered on Videoland on 18 April 2025. [1] Created as an international installment of the Real Housewives franchise, it documents the personal and professional lives of eight different 'high society' housewives from the south of the country, in the Dutch Provinces of North Brabant and Limburg in the South of the Netherlands. [2] [3] This is the second Dutch version of The Real Housewives, after The Real Housewives of Amsterdam . This series is the 28th international installment of the American series The Real Housewives.

Contents

This series is the 15th iteration of a franchise for The Real Housewives in Europe alone.

The first season consisted of original cast members: Annu Bachu, Marjan Strijbosch, Chayenne Muller, Estelle Hanneman, Lizbeth van den Boogaart, Petrouschka Dahmen, Ramona Koonings and Brigitte Schepers as main cast members. The cast for the upcoming second season of the show consists of: Strijbosch, Muller, Hanneman, van den Boogaart, Dahmen, Koonings and Schepers as main cast members with Claudia Brugman joining the show as a "Friend of" cast member.

The premiere episode of the show was also broadcast on RTL 4 in the Netherlands as well. [4] The show also aired on Play in Belgium. [5]

Production

After the success of The Real Housewives of Amsterdam , the network and production company decided to see which other cities would be interesting for their franchise for The Real Housewives. [6] The producer came into contact with a number of interesting women in North Brabant, but they were not all from the same city. Hence it was decided to change the title to an area instead of city with the show was originally conceptualized as, The Real Housewives of North Brabant/The Real Housewives of Dutch Brabant ( Dutch : The Real Housewives of Brabant). A test pilot was recorded in early 2024 in which Ramona Koonings, Nathellie Holzken and Dagmar Pijnappels were mentioned as the three big names being slated to join the show. The show remained being still titled The Real Housewives of Brabant. After the filming of the test pilot, the show went quiet until it was announced on 2 October 2024, that it would continue and be picked up as a show, in which Nathellie Holzken and Dagmar Pijnappels would no longer participate, but Ramona Koonings would, and the title had been changed to The Real Housewives of South Netherlands ( Dutch : The Real Housewives van het Zuiden) due to the fact that due to the shift in the women due to several women from the Dutch province of Limburg were now also participating. [7] [3]

The first season was reportedly filmed from June 2024 to January 2025. In addition, it was originally intended that Marjan Strijbosch would participate as a "Friend of" during the first season, but due to unexpected twists in the story and the mutual relationships, she was later upgraded to the main cast at the insistence of the English producers. As a result, Strijbosch is less present or not present at all during the group activities for the first two episodes. The reunion was filmed on 30 April 2025 and like the Amsterdam version, it was presented by Carlo Boszhard.

During the airing of the final regular episode of the first season, on 30 May 2025, it was announced that the show was renewed for a second season. Strijbosch was the first to be announced as returning to the show for the second season. Koonings was also later confirmed to be returning, while Bachu departed from the series and Claudia Brugman joined the show as a "Friend of" cast member. [8]
