Real Housewives of Nairobi minting millionaires

The Real Housewives of Nairobi, the Kenyan adaptation of the popular reality TV franchise, was a huge success when it premiered on Showmax in February. The show followed the lives of six wealthy and glamorous women in Nairobi, and it quickly became a must-watch for fans of reality TV.

Now, there is speculation that the show could be renewed for a second season. In a recent interview with Nairobi News, the show’s producer, Caroline Wambui Ngunjiri, hinted that a second season is a possibility.

“I can’t say much at the moment, but let’s wait and see, anything is possible,” she said.

The success of the show is likely due to a number of factors. First, the cast is made up of some of the most popular and successful women in Kenya. Second, the show is well-produced and features plenty of drama and glamour. Third, the show has been marketed effectively, and it has been featured on social media and in the Kenyan media.

If a second season is greenlit, it will be interesting to see if the show can maintain its success. The cast will need to come up with new storylines, and the production team will need to keep the show fresh. However, if the show can do that, it could be a huge hit for Showmax.

How Much Were the Housewives Paid?

In addition to the speculation about a second season, there has also been some buzz about how much the housewives were paid for the first season. According to a source, each housewife was paid Sh750,000 (about $7,500). This is a significant amount of money, and it is likely that the housewives were paid more than they would have been for other reality TV shows in Kenya.

The high salaries are likely due to the success of the show. The Real Housewives of Nairobi was a ratings hit for Showmax, and it was also very popular on social media. This success likely led to the production company being able to negotiate higher salaries for the housewives.

It is unclear if the housewives will be paid the same amount for a second season. However, if the show is renewed, it is likely that the salaries will be at least as high as they were for the first season.

Conclusion

The Real Housewives of Nairobi was a huge success for Showmax, and it is possible that the show could be renewed for a second season. If a second season is greenlit, it will be interesting to see if the show can maintain its success.
