ARE THEY MAKING "REAL HOUSEWIVES’ OF SILICON VALLEY?

Is a new Real Housewives Franchise in the works? According to new reports At the end of last month, a casting call for a new reality television show featuring the “girlfriends of Silicon Valley” made a big uproar in the twitter community.



Sources explain that, “According to the call, London production company The Connected Set is seeking “confident, glamorous and outgoing” San Francisco women in their 20s and early 30s who are “dating or married to someone working in the tech industry” for a new American television series.”




Incase there was any question on what the show is based on, The call asked for women specifically who have “have a fabulous lifestyle, a great group of friends, and live life to the full.” 




This show would appear to be Real Housewives of Silicon Valley in everything but name. In an industry with deplorable gender diversity figures, a reality television show focusing on Silicon Valley’s “girlfriends” risks adding insult to injury.




The casting email that was sent contains specifics about the show that circulated on social media late last week: “We’re looking for women who face their own challenges—whether that’s running a busy house, trying to get your partner’s attention in a city known for anti-social work hours, or even trying to get your own start-up off the ground, we want to show the ups and downs of this competitive and fast-paced city.”
