Explained simply
The franchise began with a reality series about a group of women in Utah who are connected to Mormon life and social-media influence. Its cast includes people with different levels of involvement in the faith, and the programme follows their relationships, work and public profiles.
The Orange County spin-off shifts the setting to Southern California and brings together returning cast member Jen Affleck, public figures such as podcast host Bobbi Althoff, and influencers including Aspyn Ovard and Avery Woods. McCall DaPron is also part of the cast; she is the sister of original-series member Mayci Neeley.
The spin-off broadens the franchise’s focus beyond Utah and introduces viewers to a new group of personalities. It also reflects how reality television increasingly draws on people who already have large audiences online.
