A new report claims RHONJ producers have been told to scout for new cast members amid reboot rumors and the canceled season 14 reunion.
It’s no secret that the relationships between the RHONJ cast are so volatile that Bravo had no choice but to cancel the season 14 reunion as the network feared the women could not be in the same room together as it would cause cataclysmic outbursts.
“The reunion was scrapped because there is absolutely no way these women could be in a room together after the final,” a source tells DailyMail.com.
A second insider also claims that Bravo believes that adding some fresh faces to the RHONJ cast may be the answer to salvaging the New Jersey Housewives franchise moving forward.
“Producers have been advised to be on the lookout for new wives,” the insider revealed.
The source also claimed that Bravo isn’t opposed to the possibility of a RHONJ spinoff show starring Teresa Giudice.
“They do not want Teresa to take her audience to another platform so are mapping out a way to keep her on the network if she decides not to return after the current series,” the insider explained. “They could offer her a spin-off, but there are concerns about what this would actually involve.”
Earlier this week, Andy Cohen shut down reboot rumors and insisted that NO casting decisions for season 15 of RHONJ have been made.
“There was a bunch of casting news about Jersey that was reported today. None of it is true. No decisions have been made,” the Watch What Happens Live host told ET. “We haven’t even had any serious conversations about next season, so anything you read about what Jersey’s gonna be for next season for the next, I would say six months, is fake, so don’t believe it.”
RHONJ currently stars Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Rachel Fuda, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Jackie Goldschneider, Danielle Cabral, and Jennifer Fessler.
Real Housewives of New Jersey airs on Sundays at 8 pm on Bravo.
