E!'s The Golden Life Adds Candace Bushnell, Margaret Josephs to Cast

‘The Golden Life’ First Teaser Brings Drama, Chaos & Clashes to Florida

Housewife drama is worth its weight in gold.

Which is why E!'s The Golden Life—which sees RHONY alums Kelly Bensimon, Luann De Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan, and Ramona Singer reunite in sunny Florida—has officially been greenlit for more episodes for season one.

Plus, Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Margaret Josephs and journalist Candace Bushnell—whose work inspired Sex and the City—will also be joining the crew.

“We're incredibly encouraged by what we’ve seen so far on The Golden Life and are thrilled to expand the season with additional episodes and to welcome Candace and Margaret to E!,” President of Entertainment at Versant Media Val Boreland said in a press release. “We can't wait to see what unfolds as the ladies take over the Hamptons this summer."

And if the season’s teaser in any indication, The Golden Life won’t be all sunshine and rainbows.

In fact, despite Sonja’s claim that the women “don’t stir things up anymore,” the sneak peek begs to differ. In fact, in one scene, she and Luann go head-to-head.

"He wanted to marry me, not you,” Luann claims, to which Sonja fires back, “He asked me to marry him, too."

And men are clearly top of mind, with Dorinda hilariously advising Ramona in one clip, as only an old friend can, "Don't let a boyfriend get in the way of finding a husband."

But that candor and closeness—and eagerness to make it nice—is part of what drew Dorinda back to the screen.

"You know what the fun thing is about us? We've never not been united," she told E! News earlier this year. "I just love these ladies because they take a licking and don't stop ticking. They're always busy, going, doing."

And, as she revealed, the Florida heat only fanned the flames of latent tensions.

"I'm going to be honest with you, we all have very strong personalities," Dorinda admitted. "If you put us in a room long enough together, there's always going to be something that bothers someone. That's just the animals we are."

But, as she noted, “I think that makes us kind of great.”

So don’t miss The Golden Life when it premieres on E! this fall.
