As you noticed, the show is inspired by the Real Housewives franchise - the only difference is that the show is in Spanish. Giraud doesn't appear on the show - she is the executive producer of the successful hit reality series. Rica, Famosa, Latina translates to Rich, Famous, Latina!
Now let's dish about the new season. I'm sad to report that the remaining original cast members Elisa Beristain, Estela Mora and Rosie Rivera won't be returning to the third season along with Season 2 newbies Maria Raquenel and Veronica Pliego.
Returning to season three are Victoria del Rosal, Luzebla "Lucy" Mansour, Sissi Fleitas and Sandra Vidal. They will be joined by three new successful ladies, which are: Andrea Garcia, Mayeli Rivera and the very controversial Niurka Marcos.
Check out the official trailer, cast bios and photos below!
