‘The Housewives of the North Pole’: See Betsy Brandt & Kyle Richards in Peacock Holiday Movie (PHOTOS)
Peacock is getting in the holiday movie game with its upcoming original The Housewives of the North Pole, starring Betsy Brandt (Breaking Bad) and Kyle Richards (The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills).
The film, which will begin streaming on Thursday, December 9, follows “The Christmas Queens of North Pole, Vermont” “Trish” (Richards) and “Diana” (Brandt), two friends who have won the local Best Holiday House decorating competition for the past nine years. “But days before Christmas, a friendship-ending argument sparks a town-wide feud and draws the attention of a national magazine writer hoping to make a name for herself with her scintillating expose titled, ‘Real Housewives of the North Pole,’” states Peacock’s logline. Check out photos above and below.
Well-known for her role as Marie on Breaking Bad, Brandt has many television and film credits to her name, including Life in Pieces, The Unicorn, and Soulmates, for which she received a Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Movie/Miniseries. Recently, Brandt appeared in Love, Victor Season 2 as Felix’s (Anthony Turpel) mother, Dawn, and has wrapped filming on the upcoming Lionsgate film The Valet, starring alongside Eugenio Derbez, Samara Weaving, and Max Greenfield.
