The exciting announcement was made by the means of a mini-trailer posted to the reality show’s Facebook page on Sunday.
The short clip shows the camera pan across Sydney Harbour’s famous waters as the words “A new series of Real Housewives, coming 2017” flashes across the screen.
Watch the teaser below. Post continues after the video!
And what’s even more exciting, casting is already underway! As in, some of Sydney’s most high-profile names are being considered literally right now.
Sydney Morning Herald‘s Confidential column could confirm that producers from Foxtel’s much-loved show have held a series of individual meetings and group casting calls at the Woollahra Sailing Club over the past month, and are already considering a mix of outspoken personalities.
Now, the most important question remains; which high-society Sydney gals can we look forward to binge watching?
Well, we have a few ideas…
Sydney personalities, Christa Billich (L) and Skye Leckie (R) are allegedly being considered for the spin off.
1. Skye Leckie
According to the Daily Telegraph, Skye Leckie, the wife of former Seven Network boss David Leckie, has been at the top of the producer’s wishlist “since day one.” “I’ve heard I’ve been on the list since day one but I don’t know, you’ve caught me unawares,” the blonde beauty said when asked on the rumours.
2. Christa Billich
Another likely local identity is the wife to artist Charles Billich, Christa. The outspoken personality already has a connection to the reality show, having appeared as a guest star on the small screen alongside Melbourne star, Gamble Breaux. “I would love to do it because I think I can show my other side,” Christa told Confidential. “People think I’m gentle and soft but I do have a side of me that is perfect for the Housewives. As we know, bitches are made, not born, and I can be a bitch.”

Another potential candidate, Michelle’s husband Martin is the managing director of Sydney’s Chadwick modelling agency. The model-turned-businesswoman is yet to comment on the speculation.
4. Gordana Willesee-Poljak
The makeup and cosmetic artist and ex-wife to TV journalist Mike Willesee has also confirmed herself as a potential cast member. “I’m considering it,” the tattoo-artist explained to The Daily Telegraph. “If the opportunity has come to me, it has come to me for a reason and I think it could be a fantastic random opportunity to help me live an even straighter life because I’ll be on show.”
PR extraordinaire Roxy Jacenko is a fan favorite.
5. Roxy Jacenko
The Sweaty Betty PR maven would most certainly be a hoot on the show, however the mother-of-two previously revealed to OK! magazine that she had turned down the opportunity back when it was a concept in April. “I enjoy watching The Real Housewives Of Melbourne but girls can get really catty and I don’t want to get involved with that,” Roxy, who was a star standout on The Celebrity Apprentice, explained to the publication. Perhaps now that concept has turned to reality, this blonde bombshell might just reconsider!
6. Terry Biviano
The shoe queen has already dabbled in reality TV, starring in the now defunct WAG Nation. Fast forward a few years and the wife of Anthony Minichiello is now the doting mother to two-year-old daughter Azura. Considering the lavish birthday party the couple threw for her in December, there’s no denying this family would make for some amazing viewing.
7. Jodhi Meares
With her jet-setting lifestyle, hot young fiancee and ever-growing active wear line, Jodhi’s life would certainly make for a glamorous plot line. Whether or not the former wife of James Packer would actually sign on to take part remains to be seen however the 45-year-old is no stranger to reality TV, having previously hosted Australia’s Next Top Model for several seasons.
Check out the clip in the video player below to see what we can look forward to!
We think Terry Biviano (L) and Jodhi Meares (R) would make for a very entertaining addition.
