” The announcement was scheduled for April 23, 2026. The series will feature TikTok stars Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods Bobbi Althoff, Salomé Andrea, McCall DaPron, Chandler Higginson, Ashleigh Pease and Madison Bontempo. The spinoff is set to premiere later in 2026.

It marks the first offshoot of the original series, which has gained significant viewership.

Disney alternative TV executive Rob Mills stated last year that the concept could expand to other types of wives, while emphasizing the need for caution. He described it as a potential franchise starter. The original series focuses on the lives of Mormon wives, and the Orange County edition will extend this format to a new location.

Hulu has recently ordered other reality shows, including one hosted by Parker Posey from the producers of “The Traitors.” Another series follows young babysitters in Ibiza.
