But who will viewers be watching in this historic first season? Find out all about the franchise newbies below!
Angela Stone: Angela is described as a "fun, focused and creative fashion designer, stylist, author, lifestyle guru and mother" - so she's a woman with many feathers to her bow! She has her own wine label and works as an international speaker on fashion and styling. When she's not busy doing all of that, she may be found running her stylist service company based both in Auckland and her home town of Christchurch.
Anne Batley Burton: Known as New Zealand's own 'Champagne Lady', Anne has been importing both Champagne and French wine into the country for the past 16 years. Winning awards for her advocacy surrounding animals, she's also the proud founder of The NZ Cat Foundation, which cares for stray and community cats.
Gilda Kirkpatrick: A queen of Auckland's social scene, Iranian-born Gilda currently resides in Paritai Drive with her two young sons and is the owner of Rascals advertising and PR agency, where she gets to work as the company's creative and designer.
Julia Sloane: Former model Julia isn't just a pretty face. She's an author, businesswoman and athlete as well as an extremely recognisable face in the upmarket Parnell scene. Recently remarrying, she's the mother to two teenagers and a successful children's author.
Louise Wallace: Having trained in acting and becoming a veteran television broadcaster, Louise lives in Auckland's Paritai Drive with her advertising executive husband, and also runs a Tadpole Theatre Productions on the North Shore.
Michelle Blanchard: This former fashion model may originally be from England, but it didn't take long for her to turn heads on the Auckland social scene where she's now been for many years. She's got a passion for fashion and fast cars, and lives with her two teenage children and husband in Coatesville.
What should we expect from the series?
Whilst new friendships and alliances are made in Auckland, there's sure to be a heck of a lot of drama when all of these big personalities get together!
For huge fans of the Housewives franchise, Ramona Singer, an original and current cast member from The Real Housewives of New York will be heading into New Zealand to welcome the city's elite to the family.
Giving viewers an exclusive look into the lives of these six luxury-loving ladies, it's going to be interesting to see exactly who can survive the twists and turns of the highest social circles to survive and truly make an impact.
