VH1 Docu-Soap “Secrets Of Aspen” Debuts Jan. 3
The Real Housewives franchise — which feverishly follows irreverant and irrelevant trophy brides and the people who cater to them — has been a ratings juggernaut for Bravo over the past few years. Now VH1, known more for making trashy love connections than shadowing socialites, is launching a similar series. Producers of the hit series VH1 Tough Love, have greenlit a new docu-soap series that will explore the lives of six affluent single women living in America’s most renowned resort town – Aspen, Colorado.
The series, entitled Secrets of Aspen, has been ordered for eight half-hour long episodes.
Known as a playground for the rich and famous, Aspen has become one of the country’s most expensive zip codes to live in. However, not everyone in this small town can afford to live the lavish lifestyle. Aspen is made up of haves and have-nots and Secrets of Aspen will explore the friction that commonly occurs between the two groups.
“This is a new and exciting show for VH1 that is a great fit for our audiences,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, VH1. “Aspen is a town very much on the pop culture radar, but this show goes beneath the glamorous surface and into the real lives and relationships of some of the women who call Aspen ‘home.’ The town’s remote location, the seasonality of its residents and all the pleasures and pressures of wealth give this city its own unique set of rules,” the network boss boasted in a press statement about the new series on Wednesday.
Secrets of Aspen premieres Sunday, January 3 @ 10PM on VH1.
