· THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE NORTH POLE will be produced by Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA). Ron Oliver will direct, and Tippi Dobrofsky, Neal Dobrofsky and Spyder Dobrofsky will write and executive produce. Brad Krevoy executive produces on behalf of MPCA, alongside Amanda Phillips and Eric Jarboe. Jake Relic, David Wulf and Chris Bongirne also produce.

· Production on the film begins this month in Utah. THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE NORTH POLE will premiere on Peacock later this year.

· Brandt is repped by Patty Woo Management, TalentWorks, and Del Shaw Moonves Tanaka Finkelstein & Lezcano. Richards is repped by Bette Smith Management and UTA.
