Everything we know about the revival of The Real Housewives of Sydney, including the cast.

For Bravo fans, the news that The Real Housewives of Sydney is returning to our screens is a big deal.

It's been almost six years since the first season premiered, and the response then to the show was pretty heated. The criticism made sense when you consider just how mean some of the drama was...

Some fans may remember the moment someone's jacket got thrown into the harbour, when another contestant was outrageously sl*t-shamed, or when one woman suggest one of her co-stars had "a smelly vagina". 

Simply put – it was a lot

Foxtel's then head of television said the excessive fighting on the show was too "nasty" and "extreme" for global audiences. And probably even Aussie audiences as well.

"A lot of the women in this show were nasty for nasty's sake and had no redeeming features," they explained.

But hopefully with time comes growth.

Streaming giant Binge announced they are rebooting the Sydney franchise, which was cancelled after just one season.

"A new generation of Sydney's glamorous and wealthy women will welcome viewers into their homes and lives, to witness the friendships, fashion, social events, and drama," a statement said.

With this in mind, we've done a bit of digging into what season two will look like and what we can expect.

Who's in and who's out in The Real Housewives of Sydney cast?

Binge has said season two will return with a new cast.

In season one, we had Lisa Oldfield, Krissy Marsh, Matty Samaei, Nicole O'Neil, Victoria Rees, Melissa Tkautz and Athena X Levendi.

A lot of season one's negative drama stemmed from Lisa Oldfield, Victoria Rees and Athena X Levendi, so guesses are that these cast members won't be returning.

But we have heard whisperings of two OG Sydney housewives coming back. According to News Corp, only Krissy Marsh and Nicole O'Neil have confirmed a return. 

While the official cast list is yet to be released, you betcha there have been reports of who the new cast members will be – and many are definitely familiar to the spotlight.

Rumoured cast members include shoe designer Terry Biviano (whose husband Anthony Minichiello is a former NRL player), laser and wellness clinics owner Linda Rogan, journalist Melissa Hoyer and wellness brand owner and former presenter Sally Obermeder.

There were reports that Roxy Jacenko would be part of the Sydney housewives, but she has since revealed that is not the case.

The show has already started filming in iconic spots across Sydney. We've seen Krissy Marsh with the crew, essentially confirming her role in season two.

She was seen training at Sydney's Rose Bay along with Jono Castano, who is a famous Aussie personal trainer for celebrities. 

As for when we can expect the season to air, we're still waiting for official word from Binge. But with a fresh cast, we're expecting big things!

As Binge's executive director said following the revival announcement: "The Real Housewives franchise is wildly popular across the globe, and we felt a cosmopolitan city like Sydney needed again to have a brand-new local version."
