Overview

  • At BravoCon, Andy Cohen told fans there is no announcement for The Real Housewives of New Jersey and that Bravo will wait until the casting is right.
  • He said production kept cameras down in part because of the long-running Teresa GiudiceMelissa Gorga rift and that any reconciliation should happen off-camera first.
  • A Bravo spokesperson has maintained that no official RHONJ casting decisions have been made, despite reports of midsummer test‑filming with veterans and potential newcomers.
  • Cohen confirmed that The Real Housewives of New York City has a new season cast and will begin filming soon, after previously knocking down rumors of a legacy‑reboot hybrid lineup.
  • Bravo unveiled The Real Housewives of Rhode Island with its full cast and first trailer for a 2026 premiere, featuring RHONJ’s Dolores Catania in a recurring “friend” role.
