How to Watch E!'s The Golden Life
'The Golden Life' Official Trailer | New Series Premieres Oct. 20 | The OGs Are Back on E!
From the Big Apple to the Sunshine State, nothing can dim these OGs' 24-karat shine.
Sonja Morgan, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Ramona Singer and Kelly Bensimon are embracing a fabulous new chapter as they leave New York City behind for Palm Beach, Fla., on E!'s new reality series The Golden Life.
And, boy, have these reality TV icons come a long way since their Scary Island days.
As Luann exclusively teased to E! News at the show's Oct. 14 premiere party, "To be reunited with the OGs of New York, are you kidding me? It's so much fun. They're like my family and I'm excited for everyone to live that ride with us, which is the golden part of life.”
But while the scenery might be changing, these former Upper East Side housewives can't escape the same old friend group drama that seems to follow them everywhere, no matter their age or zip code.
For instance, Sonja certainly lives up to her nickname as "the straw that stirs the drink" by causing friction with Luann this season—as teased in the season one trailer—not to mention Sonja's brewing feud with former BFF Dorinda.
But it's not all catfights, of course. There's plenty of cool, not uncool, moments ahead for the gang.
In between attending swanky social gatherings and settling into their glamorous new zip code, these ladies who lunch still make time to prowl the sun-filled streets for single, eligible suitors—no strings attached.
As Luann joked of her costars in the preview, "I think the libido is more active in Palm Beach. Those girls are man-hungry, sex-starved cougars."

Ramona Singer
An OG castmember of The Real Housewives of New York City, Ramona Singer first burst onto our televisions in 2008 and has been a reality TV meme queen ever since.
Known for her love of pinot grigio (a.k.a. Turtle Time!) and outspoken, unfiltered personality, the former businesswoman and entrepreneur recently relocated from NYC to Palm Beach, Fla., where she spends much of her time attending charity events in addition to spending quality time with 31-year-old daughter Avery, whom she shares with ex-husband Mario Singer.

Dorinda Medley
Dorinda Medley worked in fashion in New York and London before meeting her first husband Ralph Lynch in the '90s. The two welcomed daughter Hannah, now 33, in 1993 before breaking up.
The New England native married her second husband hedge fund advisor Richard Medley in 2005 and he passed away six years later.
After years working the Big Apple social scene, Dorinda joined RHONY in 2015 and frequently hosted castmembers at her grand Berkshires estate Bluestone Manor.
While starring on the Bravo series for five years prior to her 2020 departure, Dorinda coined many iconic phrases, including, "I made it nice," "How am I doing? Not well, bitch!" and "Clip! Clip!"

In 2010, Sonja joined RHONY as the self-proclaimed "straw that stirs the drink," becoming known for countless scene-stealing moments over the years.

Luann, who was also briefly married to ex Tom D'Agostino from 2016 to 2017, has since become an internationally renowned cabaret star, touring the world with her hit songs including "Money Can't Buy You Class" and "Chic C'est La Vie."
