Dr Catherine Masitsa (Dr C) and Zena Nyambu are set to bring East African flair and sophistication in ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa’, premiering on November 28.
Business mogul and tastemaker Dr C has featured in both Seasons 1 and 2, while beauty and aesthetics entrepreneur Zena joined as a full-time Housewife in Season 2 and quickly became a fan favourite.
‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa’ brings together some of the most unforgettable women from across the continent for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure in Brazil.
“‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa’ is more than just a reality show, it’s a celebration of African womanhood in all its power, diversity and glamour,” says executive producer Graeme Swanepoel. “For the first time, we’re bringing together iconic Housewives from across the continent to share their worlds, their stories and their sisterhood. It’s unapologetically Pan-African, women-led and bursting with the kind of energy and authenticity that makes Africa unlike anywhere else on Earth.”
This sizzling spin-off follows the success of ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa’, one of Showmax’s most-watched series in 2024.
Now the drama, glamour and sisterhood reach new heights as Housewives from South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria jet off for a new chapter under the Brazilian sun.
Releasing on November 28, the reality show is produced by GOAT Productions, the creative force behind ‘Unfollowed’, ‘Untied’, and the South African Film and Television Award-winning ‘Life With Kelly Khumalo’ Season 3.
Barrie Kelly, VP, International Format Production and Development at NBCUniversal Formats, added: “Every African version of The Real Housewives has captured the vibrant diversity of its country while resonating with audiences both locally and globally. With ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa’, we are taking that energy to the next level.
Our Kenyan ladies will be joined by South Africa’s Annie Mthembu, Angel Ndlela and Jojo Robinson.
Annie starred in The Real Housewives of Durban Seasons 1 to 3, Angel joined in Season 4 and continued to shine in Season 5, while Jojo, who came on board in Season 2, has featured in four consecutive seasons, making her the most seasoned Housewife in the line-up.
Flying the Johannesburg flag high are Madam Evodia Mogase and Christall Kay, two of the OGs who helped launch the African Housewives phenomenon and became its first breakout stars in Africa.
Madam Evodia brought her signature glamour and unfiltered energy to Season 1, while Christall made her mark in the debut season, returned for the long-awaited Season 2, and won hearts again in last year’s hit ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa’, cementing her status as the ultimate comeback queen.
Nigeria will be represented by Mariam Timmer from ‘The Real Housewives of Lagos’, who has appeared in all three seasons, and Princess Jecoco from The Real Housewives of Abuja, who made her debut in the show’s first season.
‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ launched initially in 2021 in the US with four seasons on Peacock, produced by Shed Media.
‘The Real Housewives’ and ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip’ formats are distributed internationally by NBCUniversal Formats, a division of Universal Studio Group.
