THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF CHESHIRE MAKE THEIR DEBUT ON ITV2 WITH TWO NEW SERIES THIS YEAR

Cheshire’s finest are back with a bang as filming is underway for two brand new series of the award-winning show, The Real Housewives of Cheshire, bringing northern grit, glitz and glamour in equal measure to its new home on ITV2. 

Series 19 promises to treat viewers to an inside look at the ladies lavish lifestyles this Spring, as iconic OG Housewife Ampika Pickston re-joins the cast, alongside fan favourites Lauren Simon, Rachel Lugo, Sheena Lynch, Seema Malhotra and Paige Chohan. 

Series 19 will also feature guest appearances from returning Housewives Tanya Bardsley, Nermina Pieters-Mekic, Ester Dohnalova, Ell Egar, Lystra Adams, Dawn Ward and Leanne Brown, as together they transport viewers to the elusive and exclusive Cheshire triangle – a world of designer bags, flawless glam and the unmistakable sound of popping champagne corks.

There is much to celebrate as Ampika plans the wedding of the decade to billionaire fiancé David, while the rest of the group face pivotal moments in their own lives, balancing motherhood, relationships and the demands of running businesses, alongside life-changing decisions about their futures.

As the Housewives swing open the gates to their stunning homes and luxury lifestyles, letting their hair down with more epic nights out, they also share the reality of what goes on behind closed doors, from personal health battles and relationship dramas to heartbreaking grief and hidden insecurities. The Housewives continue to navigate the challenges of family life, motherhood and business. But after a deep divide ripped through the group last season, are friendships back on track, or has resentment been left to simmer?

Amanda Stavri, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment & Reality at ITV said: "The Real Housewives of Cheshire has stood the test of time for over a decade as one of our most popular reality offerings, and with streams on ITVX now surpassing 100 million it seems our audience continues to be enthralled by the antics of Cheshire's finest."

Helen Kruger Bratt, Managing Director of UTAS UK Productions, says: “The Real Housewives of Cheshire is back, and it’s great to be bringing it to ITV2 for the first time, with not just one but two new series in 2026. With the Housewives back together and more glitz, glamour and drama than ever, we can’t wait for fans to see what’s coming.”

Series 20 (6 x 60) will follow on ITV2 and ITVX later in the year for a double dose of glamour and will be followed by a brand-new Reunion episode, presented by host and self-declared superfan, Brian Dowling.

Produced by UTAS UK Productions, a division of Universal Studio Group, The Real Housewives of Cheshire is the longest-running international instalment of the iconic, globally popular franchise, which now spans over 30 versions worldwide. To date, the series has amassed over 100 million streams on ITVX.
