The early 2000s are making a comeback with the return of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie to our screens. The iconic duo recently hinted at a new reality series on Peacock through a joint Instagram post in May. The teaser featured a TV set showing static with faint audio of them singing their classic catchphrase from their show The Simple Life.
While details about the new series are still scarce, fans can expect a wave of nostalgia when the show finally airs. Recently, Hilton and Richie were spotted filming scenes for the reboot at a Sonic Drive-In in California, reminiscent of the first season of The Simple Life. The photos captured them sporting the fast food chain’s uniform with a touch of glamour, including sparkling pumps and bedazzled purses. Richie even amused onlookers by wearing a hot-dog mascot costume with her long legs and white slingbacks peeking out.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Simple Life last December, Hilton took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the show’s impact on her life. She reminisced about the unforgettable moments shared with Richie during filming and acknowledged the special place the series holds in her heart.
During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar for the March 2023 cover story, Hilton delved into her experience on the show and the misconceptions that arose about her personality. She revealed that the producers portrayed her as an airhead while casting Richie as the troublemaker, leading viewers to believe that was their true selves. Hilton also opened up about the harsh criticism she faced alongside other young celebrities like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, emphasizing that they were unfairly villainized for simply living their lives and having fun.
As anticipation builds for the return of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie to reality television, fans can look forward to reliving the magic of The Simple Life with a fresh perspective. Stay tuned for more updates on the reboot and get ready to embark on a nostalgic journey with these iconic besties.
