Bravo’s highly anticipated series “Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition” will premiere on Oct. 21, following a brief postponement after “The Real Housewives of Potomac” star Wendy Osefo’s arrest on fraud charges. Originally, Osefo’s episode was set to kick off the premiere, but Bravo has opted to start the series with “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Angie Katsanevas instead.
However, Bravo has confirmed that fans will get to see Osefo’s episode after all. According to Deadline, the network has decided to air her episode last, with “Real Housewives” stars Melissa Gorga and Emily Simpson also featured in the series.

GettyWendy Osefo’s “Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition” episode will be broadcast on Bravo. A report by Deadline announced that the network has given her episode the green light following her and her husband, Eddie Osefo’s, legal troubles.
The new series was supposed to premiere on Oct. 14, with Osefo’s episode airing first. However, after her arrest on Oct. 9, Bravo made the decision to postpone the premiere, but did not permanently remove Osefo’s episode.
Instead, the network chose to kick off the series on Oct. 21 with RHOSLC star Angie Katsanevas’ episode now airing first. Following Katsanevas’ episode, RHONJ star Melissa Gorga’s episode will air on Oct. 28, and RHOC’s Emily Simpson’s episode is set for Nov. 4.
Fans can watch Osefo change places with an everyday wife and mother on Nov. 9.
Osefo Will Change Places With a ‘Free-Spirited Floridian’
When Osefo’s episode, “All Is Ferret in Love and War,” premieres on Nov. 9, fans will see her swap places with a mom who “prioritized fun, independence, absolutely no rules and …. ferrets.” It’s a huge lifestyle change for Osefo, who “runs her busy Maryland household prioritizing strict rules, a tight schedule, and education at the forefront.”
In the trailer for the new series, Osefo’s husband shares, “If I were to give you advice, I would say, balance.” However, she playfully tells him, “There was no question that said what advice would you give me.”
Osefo swaps lives with a Floridian named Alethea Shapiro, who quickly discovers that Osefo’s day starts bright and early at 5:30 a.m. But when Shapiro gets a look at Osefo’s long list of house rules, she’s not having it, and dramatically rips them up right in front of Osefo’s family, leaving her daughter in tears.
Fans have been looking forward to Osefo’s episode, so it’s great news to hear that it will finally air.
