Concept and production

Svenska Hollywoodfruar is a Swedish documentary series consisting of five parts that aired in the autumn of 2009 on

The Real Housewives of..., such as The Real Housewives of Orange County, New York City, Atlanta, and New Jersey. Anders Knave, program director at TV3, commented: "The Real Housewives shows are very popular and we wanted to take it a step further. We have therefore looked for Swedish women in Hollywood, who have married rich men and live what one would call the ideal picture of a life in luxury."[8] Knave also commented that the wives do not get any assignments by the producers and the series only follows their regular life; "It's a sneak peek into the lusciousness of luxury", Knave said.[8]
