Potential spin-offs

In September 2014, Real Housewives producer Matchbox Pictures announced that they were considering filming Real Housewives in a second location – namely Sydney or the Gold Coast.[47] In addition, a Judge Judy-type show has been considered starring Real Housewives star Gina Liano, with a pilot episode filmed in December 2014.[47][48] In September 2015, it was again reported that producer of the series, Matchbox Productions, was possibly searching for potential candidates for a Real Housewives franchise to be based in Sydney, or the Gold Coast.
