Real Housewives Of Melbourne Season 2 Casting News: Foxtel Wants All Six Original Housewives To Return, Adding A New Official Housewife And ‘Friend Of The Housewives’

Looks like the new season of The Real Housewives of Melbourne will be getting more interesting. Now that the new season is set to start filming soon, Confidential is reporting that there will be a new cast members added. As we previously reported, art consultant Gamble Breaux is the name that everyone is talking about to join the cast as a permanent addition.

But that's not all, there will also be some new secondary characters, or should I say 'friend of the housewives.' Lisa Tonkin who appeared as a friend of Lydia Schiavello in the first season will most likely be a 'friend of the housewives'.

L-R: Gamble Breaux, Lisa Tonkin and Susannah Fairley

Another name that has been rumored is Manuela Pless-Bennett. Jewelry designer Susannah Fairley, whose label Fairley has taken off, is another name that has been mentioned but Confidential understands she won’t be part of the series.

As for the original six - Lydia Schiavello, Andrea Moss, Gina Liano, Jackie Gillies, Chyka Keebaugh and Janet Roach - Confidential is reporting that the producers want all the ladies back. Filming is set to start later this month.

It’s believed that the new season will feature more Melbourne events, including the Spring Racing Carnival that was missing from last season.

From the looks of it, the new season will be more similar to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since they usually have around 6 to 7 official housewives and around 2 to 4 "friends of the housewives.". I'm very intrigued and excited about the new season, I really hope that all the original housewives decide to come back.

There you have it.
