Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are ready to rule reality TV together once again.

The Hilton heiress, 43, and the fashion designer, 42, starred on The Simple Life from 2003 to 2007, where they traded the glitz of Hollywood for small-town America, and now they’re working together on a new show according to TMZ.

The premise of the series has not yet been revealed, although production sources shared that it will not be an exact copy of their previous show nor will it have the same name.

Paris and Nicole have already sold their proposal to a streamer, after reportedly talking about the project for months and trying to come up with ideas on how they could work together again.

The show is still in its early stages of development and nothing has been filmed yet.

The proposal reportedly incited an “all-out bidding war,” with James Corden’s production company Fulwell 73 eventually purchasing the rights to film it.

Paris, who appeared on a heartbreaking new Sia song called Fame Won’t Love You last month, and Nicole seemed to be hinting at something on Wednesday when the pair shared a nostalgic collage of snaps showing them together.

The two captioned the post, ‘From Day 1: Sill and Bill,’ referring to the nicknames they gave each other.

Paris and Nicole became household names over 20 years ago in the early 2000s after starring on The Simple Life for a total of 5 seasons. The series aired between FOX and E!.

The premise of the show revolved around taking the two wealthy socialites out of their comfort zones and putting them in everyday working class situations, creating a culture clash comedy.

Socialites were seen taking on laborious jobs such as cleaning, farm work, and catering.

The show remains a much-loved reality show among fans and produced Paris’ iconic line ‘That’s hot!’

Another famous moment took place at the Walmart supermarket, where Paris asked, ‘What is Walmart?’ Do you sell things for the walls?

The show celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.

For the occasion, Hilton posted a series of photos of her and Richie on Instagram.

‘Happy 20th anniversary to the show that started it all, The Simple Life! Filming this series with @NicoleRichie was one of the most special, fun, and iconic moments of my life. I’m so lucky to have these amazing memories!’ she wrote in the caption.

Richie also marked the occasion, sharing a reel of some of her and Hilton’s Simple Life highlights.

“20 years ago, we not only became TV stars…we also became songwriters,” he humorously wrote in the caption. ‘Happy anniversary Sill @parishilton’.

Last month, Nicole admitted that her teenage children refuse to watch reruns and clips of The Simple Life as she returns to TikTok.

The actress told Variety that her son Sparrow, 14, and daughter Harlow, 16, are not fans of her previous television work, as it interferes with the way they view her as a mother.

“Apparently The Simple Life is having a big moment on TikTok, so they tell me they watch clips on TikTok,” the actress said of her children.

‘His friends see him. At home they always roll their eyes at me. He’s very okay with the way they see me, in general.’

She added that although she has spent her life in the entertainment industry, she is not sure if that is the path her two children will follow.

During Simple Life, Paris and Nicole were single girls in their twenties.

Now they are both married and have children.

Nicole shares her two children with her rocker husband Joel Madden, 45, the lead singer of Good Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Paris shares a son, Phoenix, one, and a daughter, London, born in November 2023, with her businessman husband Carter Reum, 43. The couple married in 2021.
