Former Housewives stars Kenya Moore (Atlanta), Margaret Josephs (New Jersey) and Kim Zolciak (Atlanta) will join Christine Quinn of Selling Sunset; Brittany Cartwright from Vanderpump Rules and The Valley; Tamar Braxton from Braxton Family Values; The Bachelorette’s Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jenn Tran; mother and daughter Julie and Savannah Chrisley from The Chrisleys; and Hilaria Baldwin.
The 11 women will go to a wellness retreat in a tropical location that is meant to “challenge their identities, relationships, and personal growth,” Amazon says.
According to the log line, “the series follows a group of women whose lives in the spotlight have made them icons, villains, and tabloid fixtures. Removed from their comfort zones, they embark on an immersive experience centered on healing, accountability, and transformation.”
They’ll go through intense wellness rituals, unfiltered truth-telling exercises and emotionally-charged confrontations so they can learn who they are beyond their tv personas. Amazon promises “chaos, comedy, and catharsis” in equal measure.
“At the retreat, growth is not guaranteed,” it says. “Old habits resurface, alliances fracture, and egos collide. With their place in the experience constantly at risk, each woman must decide whether to embrace evolution, or leave unchanged.”
Rick Edwards will be the retreat’s “concierge” and Ashley Edelman will serve as wellness director.
“Great unscripted television starts with bold, authentic personalities — this series brings together an unforgettable group of women audiences are deeply invested in,” said Jenn Levy, Head of Nonfiction Series, Amazon MGM Studios. “By placing them in an environment that strips away expectation and forces real introspection, we’re creating a series that is as emotionally raw as it is entertaining. It’s a wild, honest and oftentimes hilarious ride about identity, reinvention, and what happens when larger-than-life stars are forced to confront themselves… and each other.”
The series will premiere next year.
