Bravo’s “Wife Swap: Real Housewives Edition” premieres today, Oct. 21, at 9 p.m. Eastern after originally being scheduled for last Tuesday. The must-watch spinoff was delayed following the Oct. 9 arrest of Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, and is available to stream on multiple platforms. Tonight’s premiere will now feature “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Angie Katsanevas, as Osefo’s episode has been moved to next month. How can I watch “Wife Swap: Real Housewives Edition” for free? No problem if you don’t have cable. “Real Housewives” and “Wife Swap” fans alike can watch the show for free on Fubo and DIRECTV, which both offer free trials to new users. New subscribers can cancel before the free trial period ends, or enjoy an extra $30 off their first month from Fubo. DIRECTV also offers up to $40 off after the promotional period ends. Sling TV now includes several new streaming offers: a Day Pass for $4.99, Weekend Pass for $9.99, Week Pass for $14.99, Monthly Pass for $45.99, and a Season Pass for $199.99 for five months (then $45.99 per month). The premiere also streams on Peacock the following day. Why was the “Wife Swap: The Real Housewives” premiere delayed? The premiere date was quietly shifted after Dr. Wendy Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested and indicted on multiple counts of insurance fraud and conspiracy before the premiere was originally set to air. Wendy’s episode, which was initially planned as the season opener, has been rescheduled to air on Sunday, November 9, allowing Bravo to rework the rollout and avoid airing sensitive content amid legal proceedings. Expect the premiere to now feature “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Angie Katsanevas, followed by episodes starring Melissa Gorga and Emily Simpson. What is “Wife Swap: The Real Housewives” about? The concept is simple yet explosive: Four Housewives leave their luxurious lifestyles to swap homes with women living in completely different worlds. Expect culture shocks, emotional breakthroughs, and plenty of jaw-dropping moments. According to Bravo’s sneak peek, the swaps challenge everything these women thought they knew about family, identity, and themselves. Watch “Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition” for free on Fubo The cast includes: Dr. Wendy Osefo (Real Housewives of Potomac) Angie Katsanevas (Real Housewives of Salt Lake City) Emily Simpson (Real Housewives of Orange County) Melissa Gorga (Real Housewives of New Jersey) Premiere episode and season predictions The premiere episode, titled “Overdressed and Underprepared,” features Angie Katsanevas swapping her glam Utah life for an off-the-grid homestead in Idaho. Expect tears, spiritual revelations, and plenty of fish-out-of-water moments. Dr. Wendy Osefo’s episode, “All Is Ferret in Love and War,” is still anticipated to see her strict, rule-oriented household collide with a free-spirited Floridian family—complete with pet ferrets. We’ll see if the episode includes a new plot twist featuring Wendy addressing her arrest. Melissa Gorga’s installment, “Too Cool for Gabagool,” promises culinary clashes and lifestyle shocks as she moves in with a vegan family obsessed with Double Dutch jump rope. Emily Simpson’s episode remains under wraps, but Bravo teases a laid-back, unstructured household that will push her out of her comfort zone.
