The latest edition of the Real Housewives of Lagos reality TV show franchise is now live on Showmax.
The show follows the opulent lives of businesswoman Carolyna Hutchings, lawyer and luxury hair brand owner Chioma Ikokwu, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, influencer Laura Ikeji-Kanu, PR expert Mariam Timmer, and celebrity stylist Toyin Lawani-Adebayo as they serve up all the high fashion, luxury, drama, and power-moves that the franchise is known and loved for globally.
South Africa’s biggest stars turned out en masse in their finest at the pink carpet South African premiere, hosted by Bonang Matheba at Summerplace in Sandton, Johannesburg, on April 7, 2022. Chioma, Iyabo, Mariam, and Toyin all jetted in for the event, where they were joined by The Real Housewives of Durban’s Annie Ludick-Mthembu, Jojo Robinson, LaConco, Londie London, and Nonku Williams.

The Johannesburg premiere comes hot on the heels of the RHOLagos premiere held at the magnificent The Jewel Aedia in Lekki, Lagos, hosted by Toke Makinwa (talk show host on BBNaija: The Buzz and Talk with Toke Makinwa).
RHOLagos will be the first Nigerian instalment of the award-winning franchise, distributed internationally by NBCUniversal Formats, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group. This also marks the 16th international version of The Real Housewives format and the third African adaptation, following the success of The Real Housewives of Johannesburg and Durban, both now streaming on Showmax.
