Produced by Blink49 Studios, the ten-episode season is set to start filming this spring in South Florida.
Zarin was let go from the reunion show last week. “In light of recent public comments made by Jill Zarin, Blink49 Studios has decided not to move forward with her involvement in The Golden Life” the production company said in a statement. “We remain committed to delivering the series in line with our company standards and values.”
The Golden Life (wt) will follow the group as they navigate dating, family, and career milestones.
“Well, the rumors are true! I will be joining the women on The Golden Life in Palm Beach,” Medley said. “After decades of friendship, and navigating life’s ups and downs together, it will be nice to reconnect with my ‘sisters.’ I am so excited to celebrate and share the next chapter of our lives.”
Medley appeared on the first six seasons of The Real Housewives of New York City, initially as a guest star in season 4. She joined the cast full-time in season 7 in 2015 and exited in 2020.
