Bravo is bringing back Ladies of London: New Reign nearly a decade after the last episode of the original version aired. The show will have an entirely new cast.
The network announced in May that the franchise was making a comeback but did not include a premiere date or cast at the time. But, now we know that the show is going to premiere on March 5 at 9 p.m. and we know exactly who we'll be seeing on the show.
Ladies of London originally ran for three seasons from 2014 to 2017, building a fan base around American expats and British socialites navigating London high society, and its revival follows wider industry momentum behind returning classic reality formats. Two of the women on the show, Caroline Stanbury and Juliet Angus, transitioned from Ladies of London to Real Housewives.

Stanbury joined Real Housewives of Dubai as a centerpiece of the original cast and Angus joined Real Housewives of London as part of the original cast.

“Ladies of London is back with a new wave of British blue bloods, ambitious American expats and glamorous international socialites. As tradition clashes with the fast-paced globalized world, these power players redefine what it means to be a woman of status in one of the most iconic cities in the world. Here connections are currency and the crown isn’t the only thing up for grabs," Bravo described the show.
Like the original show the Ladies of London reboot will feature both Americans living in London and people from all around the world. And, we still have one royal in the cast, but, if fans of the original show were hoping to see Julie Montagu again, they will be disappointed.
The cast of the reboot includes Lady Emma Thynn, the Marchioness of Bath. Viewers will also get to meet Martha Sitwell, Mark-Francis Vandelli, Lottie Kane, Missè Beqiri, Kimi Murdoch, Myka Meier, and Margo Stilley.
In a trailer for the show, the women are seen drinking champagne, attending a polo match and asking Thynn about her royal connections. Vandelli is also accused of trying to suck up to Thynn for her social status.
Similarly to its predecessor, the original Ladies of London, it seems like there may be tension over the proper way to behave in British society. One of the American women notes in the trailer that no matter what she does it seems to be the wrong way of doing things.
"You will never fit into English society as an American," a voiceover on the trailer said.
This was a recurring plot point in the original series over the course of three seasons. The American women were constantly butting heads with the British women over how to properly behave at certain events and how much of their American ways needed to be changed to accommodate English society.
