A further eight international versions have been commissioned, including The Real Housewives of Melbourne which currently airs here on Foxtel's Arena.

Production is yet to commence on the Dallas edition, so casting details are still unknown.
Potomac is a 35 minute drive from Washington DC and has been cited as the most affluent town in the United States. As per Bravo, this is a town that places a "strong emphasis on the distinction between old money versus new money and proper etiquette."
