The next chapter of “The Real Housewives of New York City” is already underway, and this time, it’s unfolding far from Manhattan.
Several familiar RHONY faces from the original franchise have been spotted filming E!’s upcoming docuseries “The Golden Life” in Palm Beach. The early footage offers a first look at the cast dynamic as production ramps up in South Florida.
Social media posts show Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Ramona Singer, Kelly Bensimon, and Dorinda Medley together. Cameras are already rolling. It is one of the first real glimpses into the new series.
Cameras Roll as Cast Films in Palm Beach
One Instagram post shows the group seated together at a restaurant while cameras film around them. It is a setting RHONY fans know well. A table. A cocktail. A conversation that could go anywhere.
A second clip, shared by Luann, shows the women out on the water aboard a yacht. They are laughing and dancing. It is a lighter moment, but the tone feels familiar.
The location may be new, but the dynamic feels familiar.
What “The Golden Life” Is About
GettyE! has greenlit “The Golden Life” as a docuseries centered on former RHONY cast members stepping into a new phase of life together.
The show follows the group as they reconnect in Palm Beach while navigating friendships, relationships, and personal next chapters. It is positioned as a more reflective, lifestyle-driven extension of the franchise, without losing the interpersonal tension that made “The Real Housewives of New York City” a standout.
Filming is already underway, with production expected to continue through the spring.
Dorinda Medley Joins the Cast
Dorinda Medley is part of the lineup and appears in early filming alongside the core group.
Her inclusion adds a familiar and outspoken presence to the series, bringing back one of the most recognizable personalities from RHONY’s original run.
A New Setting, Same Energy
While “The Golden Life” introduces a new format and a Palm Beach backdrop, the early footage suggests the foundation has not changed.
These women share years of history, and that shows immediately on camera. The mix of humor, tension, and long-standing relationships is still intact.
And if the first glimpses from filming are any indication, “The Golden Life” is not trying to reinvent the formula. It is building on it, with a cast that already knows exactly how to deliver.
I cannot wait to see these fab women back on our screens, id prefer they were not just visiting old faces from the U S but being themselves as in the RHNY days..
