Reality TV acolytes and simple girls, we call this meeting to order. More than 20 years after their groundbreaking five-season series The Simple Life, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are returning to our screens - together.
The Simple Life, largely credited with shaping the reality television landscape we live in now, followed the two wealthy Los Angeles heiresses living and working on a farm in Arkansas. The show was revolutionary for its time, capturing audiences with the pair's fish-out-of-water experiences, struggling through blue-collar jobs like cleaning hotel rooms and working drive-ins. Their comedic ineptitude and rich-girl attitudes created memorable moments that set the show apart from other reality TV of the era.
Now, more than 20 years later, Hilton and Richie have reunited for Paris & Nicole: The Encore, a three-part series streaming on Peacock. This reboot is primarily set in Los Angeles and centers around the pair staging an opera based on "sanasa," a joke from their original show. The new series also includes a revisit to the town of Altus, Arkansas, for the OG loyalists.
Fans will also note that this reunion comes after a period of unrest between our two heiresses. Back in 2006, the pair filmed season four of their show separately, having been driven apart by the brutal tabloid scene of the early aughts. Today, the pair is left unshaken by the past, carrying their four-decade friendship forward into a new era. Paris and Nicole recently appeared on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" together to promote the new series, which we know is why you're here.
How can I watch Paris & Nicole: The Encore?
The reunion series is airing exclusively on Peacock, with all three episodes available to stream right now. That's hot. While you're there, you can stream other reality gems like Vanderpump Rules and the Real Housewives universe, plus some great shows like Yellowstone.
If you weren't an original fan of The Simple Life, please don't admit to that. It hurts too much. You still have time to experience the iconic series before streaming the reunion. The series' pilot season can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video, for the low low price of $5. Again, that's hot.
