The first episode will centre on a woman with a husband and two daughters who runs a ‘strict’ household in the suburbs.

She will swap homes with a ‘carefree’ wife who raises 11 children with her laid-back husband.
Ahead of the swap, the women prepare a list of rules for how they run their household – which the new wife must follow no matter how different their parenting styles are.
The ‘carefree’ mother is visibly uncomfortable at the dinner table with her new husband and two girls, as she faces the reality of her counterpart’s rigid rule book.

Meanwhile, the strait-laced wife is horrified by the chaos and lack of discipline allowed by her new husband.
The wives will later take control by enforcing their own set of rules, which their new husband and children must follow.
The laid-back husband challenges the rules set in place by his new wife, telling her that he doesn’t think it’s ‘necessary’ – and even encourages his children to rebel.

After the experiment, the wives reunite with their actual husbands and both families sit down for a face-to-face discussion about their experiences.
The tense reunion will see the strict wife confront the relaxed father about his parenting style, which frustrated her and pushed her to tears.
Wife Swap previously aired for a single season on Foxtel’s Lifestyle channel in 2012.
The new Wife Swap Australia will premiere on Thursday, February 11, at 8.30pm on Channel Seven
