Following a nearly two year pause, Bravo has confirmed that the Real Housewives of New Jersey will, in fact, return for Season 15.
In February, news leaked that Bravo is interviewing potential new cast members. Once the show has been cast, producers hope to “get these new people in front of a camera to see how they perform.” Andy Cohen now reacts to the latest cast reveal news…
Andy Cohen says RHONJ owes it to the fans to be “a good show”
This morning on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Andy made a big announcement concerning RHONJ’s return. Apparently, three cast members have been signed and, hopefully, filming will commence sometime this year.
Good news or bad, Andy has confirmed three cast members so far: Teresa Giudice, Dolores Catania and Melissa Gorga. Thank goodness Tre and her sister-in-law Melissa have finally settled their long feud and have made peace again.
“Of the old guard,” Andy said, “the people that you can expect to see are Teresa, Dolores [Catania] and Melissa … There are really no other announcements yet, but we have a great group and this has been a journey.”
“This has been a journey we have gone through,” he continued. “This has been a long and winding road to get to this place, and I’m very excited. What we owe you is a good show, so that’s what we want to deliver.”
Shortly before the cast was announced, Margaret Josephs confirmed that she’ll be leaving the show after seven seasons. In an emotional Instagram post, Marge said she was ready to start a new chapter.
“Things have changed in my life,” she added. Following her husband Joe Benigno’s 2023 prostate cancer diagnosis, Marge is ready to “spend more time with my family and just take a break and move on.”
