Phaedra Parks has confirmed that she will return to film for Season 17 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
“You will definitely see me next season. You know, I was only on ten days working this season. So, I’m coming back ready to have some Housewives fun,” Phaedra told Extra TV when asked about a potential return.
Fans of the show were eagerly anticipating the reality star’s return, but she did not appear until more than halfway through Season 16. Prior to this season, Phaedra had been starring on the Bravo show, Married to Medicine, but left after falling out with some of the cast members.

The reunion was filmed earlier this month. Fans already know that newbie Brit Eady was a no-show, but Phaedra says the reunion is still explosive.
“There will be quite a few surprises and a lot of secrets revealed. It’s definitely a ‘got ya’ moment for a few of our housewives,” she said, adding, “very dramatic.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays on Bravo at 8/7c and streams the following day on Peacock.
