Casting plans for the next season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are beginning to take shape as the Bravo series prepares for its return after a long break.
The show has been on pause since season 14 wrapped in August 2024, leaving fans wondering which familiar faces might return when production resumes.
According to Reality Blurb, a source close to the situation says that three longtime cast members have already been informed that they will be back for the upcoming season.
“Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania are absolutely coming back,” the insider said.
The news may surprise some viewers, given the intense tension between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga during the previous season, when the two relatives barely interacted on camera. The source claims that their relationship has improved since filming, but some say the reconciliation was a move to save her spot on the show.
“They’re getting along as a family unit again,” the insider said, adding that both women remain extremely popular with the audience.
Meanwhile, Dolores Catania is also expected to return. The insider described her as someone the network values for her steady presence in the group dynamic.
“She’s easy to work with and well-liked by fans,” the source said.
Decisions about the rest of the cast are still underway as producers consider additional changes.
