The Real Housewives of Dubai will become the latest instalment of the hit reality franchise.

Television company Bravo announced that the city will become the 11th to receive a โ€˜Real Housewivesโ€™ show, which will explore the lavish lives of ultra-rich women and promises the same dramatic format as its predecessors.

In a statement, Bravo said: โ€œWith the desert paradise of Dubai as the backdrop, this billionaireโ€™s playground is known for its over-the-top opulence, jaw-dropping modern architecture and wild nightlife scene. Whether theyโ€™re coasting on a private plane, running their own empires or hosting on a private island, these glamorous, successful women are ready to serve up scorching hot drama and unexpected twists.โ€

โ€˜Watch What Happens Liveโ€™ host Andy Cohen โ€“ who is also a producer of the โ€˜Real Housewivesโ€™ franchise โ€“ gushed about the launch of the international version of the show as he echoed the promises made by Bravo.

Speaking on โ€˜The Today Showโ€™, he said: โ€œEverythingโ€™s bigger in Dubai, and I couldnโ€™t be more excited to launch Bravoโ€™s first international Housewives series in a city Iโ€™ve been fascinated by for years, with an outstanding group of friends as our guides. This is going to blow the lid off the entire franchise!โ€

While the showโ€™s format has been replicated by other channels internationally in the shape of โ€˜The Real Housewives of Cheshireโ€™ for ITV in the UK and โ€˜The Real Housewives of Melbourneโ€™ by Australian company Matchbox, it is indeed the inaugural international version produced by Bravo.

The franchise started in the US with the โ€˜Real Housewives of Orange Countyโ€™ and its national spin-offs include New York. Beverley Hills and Atlanta.

There is no word as yet who will star in the show, but in recent years Dubai has become a a celebrity hotspot, having received visits from the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty and has been home to โ€˜Mean Girlsโ€™ actress Lindsay Lohan on and off for years.
