Made in Chelsea: LA, a spin-off series of Made in Chelsea, a British structured-reality television programme, was confirmed on 14 May 2015.[1] It was announced that the cast of Made in Chelsea would be travelling to Los Angeles to film a special series of the show. It was revealed that this would be a stand-alone series which would not be promoted as the tenth series. The tenth series followed in October 2015. Filming for the spin-off began in late May 2015 and concluded in late-July. This is the second spin-off show filmed in America following the NYC special the previous year.
