It was one of the most controversial reality shows of last year.

And now it looks The Real Housewives of Sydney may have finally been axed for good after the 'mean girl' behaviour on the first season failed to resonate with viewers.

According to Woman's Day, insiders have confirmed that the series 'won't be renewed' for a second season.

Similar reports have been swirling in the media for well over a year.

Foxtel executive director of television Brian Walsh told the Daily Telegraph last year that the series went 'too far.'

'A lot of the women in this show were nasty for nasty's sake and have no redeeming features,' he said.

American network Bravo, which has aired multiple seasons of the Real Housewives of Melbourne, refused to pick the Sydney installment after deeming it 'too extreme.'

'The program didn’t feature enough of the fun and friendship between the women,' one U.S. source said.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Matchbox pictures for comment.

Despite things looking dismal for the reality series, a report by the Daily Telegraph in June claimed that Foxtel had actually given RHOS the green light for a second season.

Producers were reportedly looking to change the cast to address the issues with season one, with the controversial Athena X Levendi rumoured to be getting the chop.

The last Australian season of The Real Housewives franchise to air was the Real Housewives of Melbourne, which finished its fourth season in February.
