On December 29, Netflix dropped it’s new show Members Only: Palm Beach. Though created by the same production company behind Real Housewives of Miami, producers insist that “it’s absolutely not a Housewives show.”
From self-made entrepreneurs to old-money socialites, the ladies attend galas and social events.

The show focuses on a group of New York socialites who fly back and forth from New York City to Palm Beach. Of course, these wealthy women only fly private, so the opportunities for caviar-laced messiness abound.
The standout of the series, Ro-Mina Ustayev is the new girl in town, whose claim to fame is being a Kim Kardashian doppelganger. Palm Beach royalty Rosalyn Yellin and Gale Brophy are teaching Ro-Mina the rules of the local social scene.
Meanwhile, Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago, which Gayle once tried to buy, is a frequent topic of conversation. Rosalyn is a member there, and the association with Trump’s Winter White House has earned Members Only the nickname “MAGA Housewives.”
Although Ro-Mina admits that’s “probably” an accurate description, since they talk about it so much, she says the show is not about politics.
“The show is about members-only clubs,” the actress/singer told DECIDER. “It just so happens that Mar-a-Lago is the main one in Palm Beach.”
Even though she’s the new girl in town, Ro-Mina knows a little bit about the alleged PB snobbiness. “At one point my brother wanted to move [here],” she said. “[But] he chose Naples over Palm Beach, because … Palm Beach doesn’t really accept new people. But I know that I can break any wall and any door down … I’m going to be fine.”
Members Only: Palm Beach is now streaming on Netflix.
