Amazon Brings Together ‘Housewives’, Vanderpump Rules’ & ‘Bachelorette’ Alums For ‘Reality Retreat’

2 weeks ago 11

Amazon is bringing together reality TV royalty in its latest unscripted series.

The streamer has ordered Reality Retreat (w/t), a new series from Jersey Shore creator SallyAnn Salsano, which features alum from shows including The Real Housewives, Selling Sunset, Vanderpump Rules and The Chrisleys.

Eleven of reality television’s most recognizable woman will head to a wellness retreat designed to challenge their identities, relationships, and personal growth. The series will premiere next year.

The cast includes former Housewives stars Kenya Moore (Atlanta), Margaret Josephs (New Jersey), and Kim Zolciak (Atlanta), Selling Sunset’s Christine Quinn, Vanderpump Rules and The Valley star Brittany Cartwright, and Braxton Family Values’ Tamar Braxton, The Bachelorette’s Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jenn Tran, Julie and Savannah Chrisley and Hilaria Baldwin.

Set in a tropical location, per the logline, the series follows a group of women whose lives in the spotlight have made them icons, villains, and tabloid fixtures. Removed from their comfort zones, they embark on an immersive experience centered on healing, accountability, and transformation. Through intense wellness rituals, unfiltered truth-telling exercises, and emotionally charged confrontations, each participant must reckon with who they are beyond their public persona—as chaos, comedy, and catharsis unfold in equal measure. At the retreat, growth is not guaranteed. Old habits resurface, alliances fracture, and egos collide. With their place in the experience constantly at risk, each woman must decide whether to embrace evolution, or leave unchanged.

Rick Edwards stars as the concierge with Ashley Edelman as wellness director.

Reality Retreat is produced by 495 Productions, with Salsano, Kim Green and Frank Miccolis serving as executive producers.

“Great unscripted television starts with bold, authentic personalities — this series brings together an unforgettable group of women audiences are deeply invested in,” said Jenn Levy, Head of Nonfiction Series, Amazon MGM Studios. “By placing them in an environment that strips away expectation and forces real introspection, we’re creating a series that is as emotionally raw as it is entertaining. It’s a wild, honest and oftentimes hilarious ride about identity, reinvention, and what happens when larger-than-life stars are forced to confront themselves… and each other.”
