On the heels of a successful season 1, The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 is now streaming on Peacock. This is exciting news for fans of The Real Housewives, as they once again get to see some of their faves from the different cities spend "quality time" together rehashing some old drama while navigating a whole new set of issues. 

Viewers of season 1 can expect more or less the same premise, but they’ll notice two big differences with season 2. For starters, the new cast consists of housewives who are no longer starring in their respective franchises. Although they left the shows we came to know them on, these women are still heavily talked about among fans. 

The other noticeable difference this season is the location. Last time, the ladies went to Turks and Caicos. This go-around, the ladies are spending a week in the Berkshires, which should sound familiar to all Bravo fanatics. (If you’re still scratching your head, it’s a rural town in Massachusetts.)

Here’s everything we know about The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2.  

The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 episode guide

The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 premiered on Peacock on Thursday, June 23. Since the season began airing, fans haven't been able to get enough of this entertaining "ex-wives club" dynamic. They've raved about Phaedra Parks and her hilarious commentary, they watched in shock as Dorinda took things to certain levels and made things not so nice, they looked on as Brandi and Taylor came to blows and gasped at Tamra's Denise Richards confession

Now with the show coming to a close, the question rising to the top of viewers' minds is what's next?  Well, that would be The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 3 of course. Here is the new cast currently filming.  

The season finale of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 debuts on Thursday, July 21. 

We've provided an episode guide below. 

Episode 1:  "Return to Blue Stone Manor"

Episode 2:  "There's a Jill in the Air"
"While the ladies get pampered, a surprise guest arrives. Dorinda hosts a spirited dinner at Ventfort Hall, home of the famous 'Morgan Letters.' Brandi's choice of words causes tension within the group."

Episode 3:  "Dazed and Excused"

Episode 5: "The Ultimate Thirst"
"Blue Stone Manor is full of hot air, with chatter over the previous night and a balloon on the premises. At dinner, Dorinda takes the ladies down memory lane, but past feuds reignite tensions between several ex-wives." Spoiler alert, fans are really trying to make sense of the feud between the RHOBH alum

Episode 6: "Tis the Season"

The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 premise 

Peacock describes The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 as follows:

"For the first time since their departure from The Real Housewives, several of the most unforgettable ex-housewives will collide for a much-anticipated vacation at one of the most iconic homes in franchise history: Dorinda Medley’s Bluestone Manor. The Peacock Original series will take viewers on a trip down memory lane as the ladies indulge in the lush countryside of the Berkshires with top-notch luxury, hilarious escapades and non-stop drama."  

The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 cast 

As previously mentioned, the season 2 cast is staying at Dorinda Medley’s home in the Berkshires, so she’ll be playing hosting duties for the other seven housewives. Also from The Real Housewives of New York City is Jill Zarin, whose time on the NYC series predates Dorinda. 

Joining these two along for the ride are Phaedra Parks and Eva Marcille of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge of The Real Housewives of Orange County and Brandi Glanville and Taylor Armstrong of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

This cast will be interesting to watch, as fans across Twitter have demanded that a majority of them be reinstated to full-time status on their respective franchises. We’ll be keeping an eye out to see if The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip season 2 will serve as the gateway for making such demands happen.
