\n\tTeresa Giudice<\/a>,\u00a0Melissa Gorga<\/a>\u00a0and Dolores Catania are returning to\u00a0The Real Housewives of New Jersey<\/a>\u00a0for season 15.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe three longtime Housewives are the only castmembers who starred in season 14 that\u00a0Bravo<\/a>\u00a0has confirmed are rejoining the series in full-time capacity for the upcoming installment. <\/p>\n

\n\tConfirmation of their return also comes after an almost two-year pause in production on the series. The latest episode of RHONJ, the disastrous season 14 finale<\/a>, aired in August 2024, with no official news about the show being announced since then.<\/p>\n

\n\tTeresa, Melissa and Dolores will be joined by a slate of fresh faces, who have not been announced yet, marking a mini RHONJ revamp. Production on the upcoming installment will begin filming later this spring. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn the year since RHONJ\u2018s absence from the network, Bravo boss Andy Cohen has given only updates on the series\u2019 status, though no official announcements have been made until Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe New Jersey-based Real Housewives franchise went on a hiatus after a disjointed 14th season, with the cast completely divided by the show\u2019s final episode<\/a>. Bravo forgoed a season 14 reunion due to the distance among the cast, which included Giudice, Gorga, Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, plus non-fulltime castmembers Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tTeresa has starred on RHONJ throughout its full 14-season run on Bravo; Melissa, Teresa\u2019s sister-in-law, joined the series during season three in 2011; and Dolores joined the full-time cast in season seven. <\/p>\n

\n\tTabloids have since suggested that the New Jersey-based Real Housewives series was planning to undergo a mini cast exodus, with the news seemingly confirming suspicions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the time since RHONJ\u2018s 14th season, Teresa and Melissa\u2019s families have reconciled; Melissa appeared on Wife Swap: The <\/a>Real Housewives<\/a> Edition; Dolores won season three of The Traitors; and Teresa filmed for Bravo\u2019s upcoming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th<\/a>, the upcoming series in celebration of the franchise\u2019s landmark 20th anniversary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDolores will additionally be featured on the franchise\u2019s latest extension, The Real Housewives of Rhode Island<\/a>, as a friend-of the main cast. The new series will premiere on Bravo on April 2. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhen discussing her return to the network for Wife Swap, Melissa told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> she was \u201cready to go back\u201d to RHONJ.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI will say I appreciated the two years to be able to focus a little bit more on my projects and my businesses, but I\u2019m ready to go back. I\u2019m ready,\u201d Gorga said. \u201cI had a breather. I\u2019m ready to go back to work whenever they want me.\u201d<\/p>\n
