Why was rho sydney cancelled?
According to former cast member Matty Samaei, producers are keen to renew the show, which was rumoured to have been cancelled because it was “too nasty.”
Samaei told The Daily Telegraph that filming for an alleged second season could kick off as early as this year, which is a huge win for reality TV fiends like myself.
“With Melbourne Housewives, we know that it’s coming back and normally once the franchise is starting to produce one city there’s no reason they will not do Sydney,” the 45-year-old former cast member told the Daily Telegraph.
“So my intuition and from some of the things I’ve been hearing, we will be back but I don’t know when it will be. I don’t think it will be 2020, it will be the year after.”
I’m not sure why the fuck we’re meant to believe Matty’s ~intuition~, especially considering Foxtel executive director Brian Walsh has previously confirmed that they’re staying far away from Sydney, and won’t be renewing for a second season.
“Sydney won’t happen again. Once bitten twice shy,” he told TV Tonight in an interview last year.
Regardless of Walsh shooting down the idea, Matty is still convinced the show could cop a reboot.
“There could be a big recasting so we don’t know really who’s going to go back in and who’s not because everything pretty much changes with reality TV. Doing the show had a positive impact for me and my business and I developed beautiful friendships with the women.”
The show, which first aired back in 2017 followed the lives of Matty Samaei, as well as jewellery designer Athena X Levendi, model Krissy Marsh, politician’s wife Lisa Oldfield, former pop star Melissa Tkautz, entrepreneur and former Miss Australia Nicole O’Neill and socialite Victoria Rees.

The Real Housewives of Sydney first aired in 2017 but was cancelled after just one season in early 2019, having been deemed by TV bosses as “too extreme” to air in the US.
Apparently, US television executives decided against broadcasting The Real Housewives Of Sydney because their fights are “too extreme.”
The Daily Telegraph has reported that Foxtel’s television executive director, Brian Walsh, has received feedback from US networks stating that the Sydney ladies didn’t have enough personal friendships and fun!
There were also concerns that the fights between cast AthenaX Levendi, Lisa Oldfield, Krissy Marsh, Matty Samaei, Melissa Tkautz, Nicole O’Neill and Victoria Rees, were “too extreme” and too mean.
In one episode, Lisa even called her six-year-old son a “d***head” to his face.
“A lot of the women in this show were nasty for nasty’s sake and have no redeeming features,” Walsh stated.
“I particularly felt Lisa Oldfield and AthenaX Levendi were driving their own agendas."
He continued, adding, “I’ve raised my concerns with the production team from this season. I felt the bad language and behaviour throughout the series did go too far."
In saying that, there’s no reports to confirm that the series will never be aired.
Let’s not forget that time Teresa literally flipped over a table in The Real Housewives Of New Jersey. In the Real Houewives of Atlanta reunion show, women attempted to rip each other’s hair out!
At the moment, RHOS is broadcast in New Zealand and there is potential for other countries to pick it up, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
