E! has announced it's ordered The Golden Life, a new docu-reality series starring the following former NYC Housewives: Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, and Sonja Morgan.
The show will feature Jill, Kelly, Luann, Ramona and Sonja gathering with their iconic New York City friend group in Palm Beach, FL.
"Bound by decades of shared history, fallouts and friendship, this fan-favorite group of New Yorkers are starting fresh together in the Sunshine State," E! teased.
The Golden Life, which is the working title of the new 10-episode series, is expected to start filming in Spring 2026 in South Florida.

In their new "golden" era of life, the longtime friends will be shown enjoying second homes and Palm Beach's social scene.
The women will bring humor and hijinks as they navigate dating, family, and career milestones.
"Though skies are bright in Florida, unresolved drama looms as they reconnect after years of highs and lows," E! shared.
Val Boreland, the President of Entertainment of Versant, E!'s new parent company, said in a statement that E! is "thrilled" to welcome "reality TV royalty" for a reunion fans have been waiting for.

"The energy within this group has always been electric and we're excited to watch it unfold in a new chapter of life by the beach," Val added.
Cori Abraham, Versant's senior VP of development, shared how many fans have been requesting that these ladies come back.
"When the show was pitched to us, we were like, 'Yeah, we want to see it too. We want them to come back.' And so from all of their fallouts and friendships, they've been friends now. And that show has been around for 18 years or 19 years," Cori explained.
"We're excited that they are now snowbirds. They come down to the south over the winter, so we'll be shooting them this winter for the next few months down here. And it's different in the sense that they really know each other really well, and they have spent a lot of time together."
Cori insisted that Jill, Kelly, Luann, Ramona and Sonja are still "fabulous as ever."

Cori concluded, "It's not really your flipping table kind of show. It's more of like a Mahjong-table kind of show. They haven't slowed down, and by the way, they're not really wives anymore. The majority of them are single."
Luann and Ramona were OGs on The Real Housewives of New York City. They starred on Seasons 1 through 13 from 2008 to 2021.
Jill starred on The Real Housewives of New York City from Seasons 1 through 4.
