Leah Remini is trading Queens for Beverly Hills. The Emmy-winning actor and television personality has joined Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,<\/a> adding a familiar\u2014and famously outspoken\u2014face to Bravo\u2019s long-running reality franchise. Production began earlier this summer, with Remini reportedly scheduled to start filming later this week.<\/p>\n

Remini will not be the season\u2019s only newcomer. Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles star Tracy Tutor recently confirmed that she is also making the jump to RHOBH. According to People<\/a>, returning cast members include Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John, Rachel Zoe, and Sutton Stracke. Jennifer Tilly is expected to appear as a friend of the cast.<\/p>\n

Remini arrives with decades of television experience and a public persona built on blunt humor and candor. The 56-year-old remains best known for starring opposite Kevin James on the CBS sitcom The King of Queens, which ran for nine seasons. <\/p>\n

She later won two Emmys for Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, docuseries that examines allegations made by former members of the Church of Scientology. <\/p>\n

Remini has also competed on Dancing With the Stars, hosted the game show People Puzzler, and previously opened her family life to cameras on TLC\u2019s Leah Remini: It\u2019s All Relative.<\/p>\n

Season 16 will mark another transition for the Beverly Hills franchise following Amanda Frances\u2019 departure after one season. Remini, meanwhile, enters the show during a period of personal change. She and actor Angelo Pag\u00e1n ended their marriage in 2024 after more than two decades, although the former couple has remained friendly. <\/p>\n

Remini has also spoken publicly about maintaining her longtime friendship with Jennifer Lopez as both women navigated divorces. \u201cSometimes you don\u2019t talk to people every day like you used to, but that doesn\u2019t mean the love is lost,\u201d she said in 2025.<\/p>\n

A premiere date for Season 16 has not been announced, and Bravo has yet to formally reveal the entire lineup. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leah Remini is trading Queens for Beverly Hills.
