The Real Housewives of Athens (abbreviatedRHOAthens) is aGreekreality television series that debuted onANT1 on March 4, 2011, until May 27, 2011. Developed as the first international installment of theReal Housewives franchise, it aired only one season and documented the personal and professional lives of several women residing inAthens, Greece. After 13 years, the series is coming back in late 2024 with its second season onANT1, as an external production in courtesy ofBRAVO.^[1]

The series chronicles the lives of six Greek women.^[2] The show aired in the midst of theGreek government-debt crisis and faced criticism for its tone of luxurious living in hard economic times.^[3] Writing after the show was cancelled,The New York Times commented that the show "barely lasted one season, and it doesn’t take long to see why. The Greek adaptation had a depressive undertone that might have matched the national mood, but didn’t provide viewers with a frothy escapist kick. Wealthy Greeks aren’t flaunting their lifestyles these days..."^[4] The first-season cast included Ioanna Soulioti, Orthoula Papadakou, Annita Nathanail, Fofi Mastrokosta, Christina Papa, and Joe Satratzemi Togou

The series was not subsequently renewed and remained a one-season series.
