NeNe Leakes is officially stepping back into the Bravo universe, marking her first return in six years since leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
While fans hoping for a full-time peach may have to wait, TMZ reports that NeNe will appear on Bravo’s upcoming spinoff, The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip, set to premiere in 2026.
The 58-year-old will not be part of the full cast for the road trip series, but she is expected to have a “notable presence” during the Atlanta stop, where she currently lives. Sources say her appearance will be limited to the Georgia leg of the journey, which features Housewives traveling across the country and linking up with familiar faces along the way.
The new series was announced by Andy Cohen at BravoCon 2025 as a celebration of the franchise’s 20-year legacy.
“This is going to rock your world,” Cohen promised at the time.
NeNe, who helped launch RHOA in 2008 and became one of reality television’s most quoted stars, has long hinted she would return under the right circumstances. “If the opportunity was right and the check was on point, why not?” she told TMZ last year.
Fans are still hoping that the legendary Housewife can earn her peach back.
