The Girls Next Door: The Bunny House
# The Girls Next Door: The Bunny House

The Girls Next Door: The Bunny House is a failed backdoor pilot for a potential third spin-off of The Girls Next Door, which aired on August 8, 2010.

## Synopsis

Meet the girls next door to The Girls Next Door, who inhabit the world's most exclusive sorority house. These girls date in similar circles and compete for the same gigs.

## Development

The planned seventh season of The Girls Next Door was to begin regularly featuring the residents of the Playmate House after Karissa and Kristina Shannon moved in following their break-ups with Hugh Hefner in January 2010. However Hefner asked them to move out after being displeased they had boyfriends. With Crystal Harris as the only remaining cast member of The Girls Next Door, it was decided a backdoor pilot that would focus completely on the residents of the Playmate House would be filmed.

While E! passed on the series, production had hopes that the series still had a chance. Jayde Nicole and Claire Sinclair were given roles on the upcoming second season of Holly's World in hopes that audiences would respond to their characters, therefore prompting renewed interest in The Bunny House. Holly's World was cancelled after its second season, alongside fellow The Girls Next Door spin-off Kendra, after the then-new E! president Bonnie Hammer vowed to "get rid of the more Playboy trashy element" from the network, which resulted in The Bunny House never being picked up to series.

## Cast

The show includes Jaime Edmondson, Hope Dworaczyk, Claire Sinclair, Jayde Nicole, Crystal McCahill, and Crystal Harris.
