The ladies will begin filming the ten-part series this September, with the premiere due to air in 2017. ‘Real Housewives of Melbourne’ is yet to announce a fourth season leaving a number of pressing questions unanswered. Will there be a new girl to replace Chyks? Is Andrea ever coming back? Has filming begun on ‘Judge Gina’? Only time will tell. Or possibly Jackie. She’s a psychic girl.
