NEW YORK, NY - October 22, 2014 - Bravo Media will air the UK hit series "Made in Chelsea: NYC" Sundays at 12pm ET/PT beginning November 16 with two back-to-back hour-long episodes. The show is a spinoff of the BAFTA award-winning series "Made in Chelsea," which follows the lives and loves of the socially elite 20-somethings who live in London's most exclusive area - Chelsea. The six-episode season that will air on Bravo features the show's best-loved cast as they take New York by storm.
Invading the Big Apple's social scene are the show's familiar faces - former star of "The Hills" Stephanie Pratt, Jamie Laing, Binky Felstead, Mark-Francis Vandelli, Spencer Matthews, Lucy Watson, Alex Mytton, Louise Thompson, Stevie Johnson, Rosie Fortescue, Oliver Proudlock, Cheska Hull, Fran Newman-Young, Victoria Baker-Harber, Sam Thompson and Riley Uggla.
The cast will also be joined by four New Yorkers - Bahamas-born fashionista Billie Carroll, international model and philosopher Jules Hamilton, real estate student and socialite Carson Eisenhart, baseball loving VP of Libra Leathers Alik Alfus and Binky Felstead's New York-based artist sister, A-L.
In the premiere episode, Lucy befriends New York fashion blogger Billie who quickly catches the eye of both of Lucy's friends - Spencer and Jamie. However, Lucy tries to steer Billie towards her trusted friend and newly single, Stevie. As the Londoners begin to familiarize themselves with the big city, friends Proudlock and Stevie throw a party in their swanky pad, where Proudlock introduces Louise to his New Yorker friend, Alik.
