The OG New York Housewives have taken Florida — and E! is bringing fans along for the ride. The RHONY spinoff, The Golden Life, premieres with a special 90-minute episode on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at both 8 p.m. PT/ET and 10 p.m. PT/ET on E!, available to stream live via DirecTV (with a five-day free trial), Fubo (with a five-day free trial), Sling and Hulu + Live TV.
Since this is not a Bravo series, new episodes won’t be available to stream on demand via Peacock. In fact, The Golden Life doesn’t even have a traditional streaming home, meaning live TV streaming services (like DirecTV, Fubo, etc.) are the only option for cord-cutters.
Following the Oct. 20 premiere, new 60-minute episodes will air weekly on Tuesdays at the regular time slot of 10 p.m. PT/ET.
