For the first time in nearly two decades, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are once again gracing our screens in a reality show. Seventeen years after their hit series The Simple Life ended its five-season run in 2007, the pair is reuniting for a new project.
Throughout May, fans speculated about Hilton and Richie’s reunion after the duo posted nostalgic photos of themselves on Instagram with the cryptic caption “From Day 1: Sill and Bill.” They confirmed the rumors of a new show with a subsequent trailer revealing it would be “coming soon to Peacock.”
While fans of the iconic duo may be hoping for a revival of The Simple Life, reports suggest otherwise. The new show is not a reboot of the original series and will showcase Hilton and Richie in a fresh setting.
Release Date of The New Show
As reported by Deadline, the release date of this new series is yet to be announced. In an interview on Good Morning America, Richie said, “I can’t tell you too much right now, but we’ve worked together to create something very special and exciting.” With further news expected soon, it is speculated that the show could premiere later this summer or in the fall.

Expected Content of The New Show
Based on the teaser released by Hilton and Richie, it seems the new show will differ significantly from The Simple Life. This likely means a new concept, far removed from the
2003 series that followed the pair as they temporarily ditched their glamorous lifestyles to experience manual labor.
Since The Simple Life, both Hilton and Richie have fronted their own reality shows. Hilton has hosted competition series Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, cooking show Cooking with Paris, and personal documentary Paris in Love, while Richie led the comedic series Candidly Nicole.

The upcoming reality show will be available on Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform. To view it, a subscription is necessary. Peacock’s Premium plan costs $5.99/month, while the ad-free Premium Plus plan is priced at $11.99/month.
Can You Stream The Simple Life?
Although The Simple Life is not currently available for streaming, individual episodes or entire seasons can be rented or purchased on Prime Video and Apple TV+.
