The future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey has been up in the air for some time, but according to sources, the show could be getting a reboot, with an all-new cast.
“The ratings decline has been catastrophic. Most shows have been in steady decline but there is hope that things will turn around, the insider told The Sun U.S.
Nielsen data shows that 1.1 million viewers tuned into the RHONJ season 12 premiere in February 2022. Only 830,000 tuned into the debut episode of season 14 in May 2020…a 20% decline.
“On one end, there is a sense of panic within the network but that’s the state of TV right now. It’s not just Bravo, viewership for any linear network is down,” an insider continued. “As happy as everyone is with the success of Peacock, that has hurt ratings for Bravo. Peacock really started to take off in 2022 and that’s when a decrease in network viewership and an increase in streaming viewership was really noticed by [Bravo].”
If RHONJ did get a complete overhaul, it would not be the first show in the franchise to do so.
RHONY dropped all of it’s OG cast members to start afresh.
