Lena Dunham likes them. Reality TV watchers love them. So why is there no season two of the Real Housewives of Auckland already?

The reality show that followed six housewives in Auckland's elite social circles ran a successful season one and, despite airing in America and Australia, the Mediaworks-made hit reality TV series has sat idle since it first aired in New Zealand in August, 2016.

A Bravo spokesperson said there were no plans at this stage to make a season two.

BRAVO NZ The Real Housewives of Auckland season 1 cast.

"The Real Housewives of Auckland was incredibly successful for Bravo NZ, as well as internationally with the show also airing in the US, Europe and Australia. We have no immediate plans for another series, but it is something we would love to do so never say never!" they said.

It has left the show's main subjects - the housewives themselves - made up of Anne Batley-Burton, Michelle Blanchard, Gilda Kirkpatrick, Julia Sloane, Angela Stone, and Louise Wallace, in the dark about their future.

STUFF Real Housewives of Auckland star Anne Batley Buton, aka the champagne lady, says being on the Real Housewives of Auckland was beneficial to her business.

Batley-Burton who has previously stated before that she would do another series, believed that money was a factor.

"People I've spoken to who were involved basically said it's a very expensive show to put together in New Zealand," she said.

"We haven't had enough support form the advertising market."

She said her time on the show was a great investment in her business Champagne Lady as well as her passion for cats.

"That's what I wanted out of the show and I have got plenty of promotion," she said.

"It's led onto other things."

While producers might be unclear about the show's future, the series has garnered plenty of international attention after airing in the US and Australia.

Even the writer and actor of hit US series Girls Lena Dunham mentioned the show on her Instagram account, while Huffington Post called Auckland's the best Real Housewives franchise ever made.
