Leading production firm, Livespot 360 has been contracted to film the first season of The Real Housewives of Lagos.
The production firm will be filming the reality TV show for Showmax ahead of airing in early 2022.
With the Real Housewives of Lagos marking the 16th international version of the format and the third to be adapted in Africa, the show will take a peek inside the opulent lives of some of the most affluent women in Lagos, Nigeria.
The Real Housewives of Lagos (RHOL) will be the first Nigerian installment of the award-winning franchise, which is distributed internationally by NBCUniversal under Universal Studio Group.
The Nigerian franchise will build on the success of the first two African editions as Showmax renews The Real Housewives of Durban for Season 2, after the show broke Showmax records earlier this year in South Africa.

“We’ve seen audiences across Africa devour The Real Housewives of Johannesburg and The Real Housewives of Durban,” says Candice Fangueiro, Showmax’s head of content. “The Real Housewives franchise lends itself to localisation and we know our audience is going to love seeing the show reinvented Naija-style. We can’t wait to show the continent – and the world – another side of Lagos, with all the drama, high fashion and luxury you’d expect from The Real Housewives franchise.”
The reality T show will be the second Showmax Original reality series in Nigeria, following on from the success of I Am LAYCON, starring Big Brother Naija S5 winner Lekan Agbeleshe.
