Paris & Nicole Have Operatic Dreams in New Trailer for Their ‘Encore’ on Peacock
Two reality-TV OGs are aiming to make arias “hot,” in a new trailer for Paris & Nicole: The Encore, a three-part special premiering Thursday, Dec. 12 on Peacock.
Specifically, and seemingly for real-ish, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie want to adapt their “Sanasa” catchphrase into an actual opera — a lark that elicits all kinds of reactions in the trailer narrated by Alan Cumming (of Peacock’s The Traitors).

“In this new special, Paris and Nicole bring fans up to speed on their lives and friendship in a way that only true legends can,” the official description tells us. “Get ready to fall back in love with this fearsome twosome as they put on an unforgettable performance… Sanasa, sanasa!”
Hilton and Richie’s The Simple Life premiered in 2003 and ran for five seasons — three on Fox, followed by two on E! — and revolved around the concept of having the rich-girl besties perform average-joe jobs, despite never having worked a day in their charmed lives.
A falling-out in 2005 led Hilton to issue a statement confirming that “Nicole and I are no longer friends… Nicole knows what she did, and that’s all I’m ever going to say about it.” They later repaired the relationship in the intervening years, with Richie attending Hilton’s 2022 wedding to Carter Reum.
In September of 2023, Hilton marked Richie’s 42nd birthday with a series of photos from various eras of their friendship, including several from their Simple Life days.
“When I look back on my life, so many of my most memorable and special memories were with you,” she wrote at the time. “No one makes me laugh the way you do, you are one of the most hilarious people on the planet. You are so much fun to be around. You light up every room you walk into and have a heart of gold. So lucky to have you in my life! Can’t wait to make more memories together!”
