After a thrilling and drama-filled Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, fans have been eagerly awaiting any clues about what’s next for their favorite Orange County ladies. Now, it looks like their wish is coming true! Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter have confirmed contracts have gone out for season 19.

In a recent Instagram post, Gina Kirschenheiter shared a photo of herself holding an orange alongside Emily Simpson. For Real Housewives fans, this image was more than just a cute moment between two housewives. When cast members hold oranges in promotional photos or opening credits, it’s a direct nod to the show’s iconic symbol: the orange represents the connection to the geographical location of the show, Orange County, California. Gina Kirschenheiter used the hashtags “#captionthisphoto#captionthis #merry #rhoc #besties“

This photo signals that not only are the ladies back for another season, but they are embracing the signature theme of the series. 

Season 18 wrapped up with a bang. The three-part reunion, which aired last month, brought plenty of unforgettable moments. Heather Dubrow went head-to-head with new cast member Katie Ginella, creating some of the most heated exchanges of the season. Emily Simpson spent the entire reunion grilling Jennifer Pedranti about her fiancé Ryan, while Alexis Bellino and Shannon Beador had their own explosive showdown. The reunion was nothing short of epic, with fans calling it one of the best seasons of RHOC in years.

Season 18 set the bar high, and now, with the announcement of Season 19, the excitement is palpable. Fans are already buzzing about what’s to come, and it’s clear that the drama isn’t slowing down any time soon.

Insiders have told us that filming will begin in early January, meaning we won’t have to wait too long to see our favorite Orange County ladies back in action. We’re also being told that the entire current cast is returning, with some new additions to spice things up. 

Are you excited for season 19 of the Real Housewives of Orange County?

I agree with the earlier poster - Gina and Emily have a good sense of humor about the housewives. Shannon is heartbreaking and it's not fun to watch her struggle. Tamra is horrid and when she starts shrieking, I want to punch her in the face to shut her up. I think the fun Vicki would be good and even Wretched and Shame would be funny - he used to really wind Vicki up. More fun! Less Tamra and her hateful heart! (or lack thereof)

S18 was definitely improved, but that was by no fault of these two ... Shannon and Alexis deserve the credit. If Jen A. reportedly got her @ chewed by Andy for telling tales out of school about NJ, I have to believe these two are in trouble too.

LOL. Their post very funny. I'm ready for an Emily takedown season tho. But they will NEED to have new fruit to make a 19th season fresh squeezed. I'm still down with Vicki and Gretchen back, but room in the fruit basket will need to be made. Maybe a milestone 20th season, then?

I really liked Gretchen. I remember her receiving huge criticism for leaving her ex to go on vacation while he was extremely ill. This thought has come back to my often recently, due to the fact my husband is dying from cancer and I have been a caregiver for over a year. I am also somewhat caring for his brother who is also dying of cancer, his mom who has dementia and I have a son with a very rare disability. I think of that societal criticism and how it makes me feel if I were to take a break and yet I am in such need of one. So 'art' imitates 'real life', and that moment comes back to me and how much I understand when you are in the person's shoes.

I feel for you. Your strength & love for your family is truly inspiring & amazing. Thank you for sharing.
LiberalMediaIsCorrupt December 17, 2024 - 12:16 pm
I am so sorry for what you are going through. I KNOW how hard it is to be a caregiver. It is emotionally, mentally and physically exhausting. You can never really get rest or really do anything for yourself. How you are enduring all you have on your shoulders is a testament to what a strong, brave, caring person you are! You are freaking AMAZING! One word of advice: When someone offers help, accept it. It is easy to say, "thank you, but I'm fine". Even if it is just an hour to go grocery shopping.

I"ve taken care of my mother during her last year, and then last year my husband died, but he died so quickly that it passed in a blur - a horrible, grievous two months. My heart goes out to you. One piece of advice I was given that has made it easier is that when the suffering ends, never remember it - it's only sad and will wear you down. You must remember the happy times. Yes, those will make you cry too, but you will be grateful for the good years you had. In the meantime -- yes!! You need a break, even for only one day. Try to get a home care person from your community's social services office, even if only for one day. God bless you.

If it is true they are all coming back and there will be new actors hired to join them, next season will be more of the same. At the very least, Tamra should be gone because she is so vile and so nasty. In addition, Shannon should be gone so she can get both the mental health and addiction help she so desperately need. The rest of them? Eh! They each have their moments, good or bad.

I have no idea why Bravo keeps renewing Emily's contract. She brings nothing except her bad temper and phony lifestyle to the show every season??? Bring Vicki back. At least she's entertaining!
Dulcette December 13, 2024 - 9:42 am
I know she has matured more, but I still need a rest from the high-pitched wailing for her to make a point (Vicki) When Emily isn't being a know it all lawyer on everything, I do enjoy her wit. And she has brought body images to the table, which I think it's important.
Zap It December 13, 2024 - 12:13 pm
Okay maybe the body image thing but that's all. That's it. Look, her time should be up. That last finale should have been HER finale. Her constant interruptions and talking over everyone like she is a sacred fountain of knowledge when she doesn't even practice law and hasn't for years was just too bloody much. Her lie about Heather was the last straw for me. And I don't even like Heather. It still pisses me off that a former nanny busted her when she went public with the fact that Emily ALWAYS puts Heather down and others as well in front of her children. And that her children do dislike Heather because of what Emily has said about her in front of them. So add liar to everything else. ?
Dulcette December 13, 2024 - 2:13 pm
I do agree the constant interrupting was truly annoying. I guess I give her a slight pass because it isn't like former and current (Tamra) who can't do it without screeching and that is such a bad look imo. As well, the whole thing with Heather. For me, it's the humour she brings with Gina and when they are together, they remind me of Lucy and Ethel and those scenes really make me laugh, which is a reminder to when the RH started and moreso what the show was about. Instead of this backstabbing and being set up by producers, and fake $hit being stirred up. The maliciousness. Ughh. Sometimes I have to take a break from the various shows because the 'fun' parts are missing.
Zap It December 13, 2024 - 2:30 pm
So true. i miss the laughs and fun parts too. Totally agree that's how the franchise started and sometimes I need to take a break as well...or at least fast forward?
