Andy Cohen Drops Bombshell: RHONJ Won’t Be Back Until 2026

Andy Cohen Talks Future Of RHONY Saying He Believes In The Women + Opens Up On Why They Are In No Rush To Bring Back RHONJ

Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the next season, but according to Andy Cohen, they’ll have to keep waiting — and possibly for much longer than they anticipated. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Cohen revealed that RHONJ will not be returning until at least early 2026, sending fans into a frenzy.

When asked about the status of the beloved franchise, Andy Cohen made it clear that the Garden State is taking a longer-than-usual break. He had a blunt message for fans who have been eagerly speculating about the show’s return: “You’re not gonna get it for, like, a year, so everyone stop asking,” he said, adding, “And I keep saying you are going to get nothing, so stop asking!”

While fans might have hoped for an earlier return to the drama, Andy Cohen’s remarks indicate that the Real Housewives of New Jersey team is taking their time. With the hiatus likely extending into 2026, it seems the franchise is slowing things down for the time being.

Fans are left wondering why such a long break, but Cohen’s comments suggest that there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes planning going on. Given the success and popularity of RHONJ, it’s clear that the show’s return is being carefully crafted to deliver the most exciting and entertaining season possible.

Thoughts on the RHONJ pause?

? Andy is just throwing a temper tantrum because he’s worried that he might lose the FameWhorgas. Those two are nothing without Teresa and I am so happy that Teresa is standing firm and making his bitch ass and those brain dead producers at Sirens Media squirm. Good! It’s karma and they brought it upon themselves so keep squirming. Sorry not sorry.

Perfect!?
Teeje651 December 19, 2024 - 6:40 pm
Lol. I do not have time to be politically correct. If the producers had been good at their jobs, they wouldn’t be worrying about their livelihoods so it is their own fault if they end up on the street. I hope if they film in 2025 that they will do it Halloween to New Year’s because those were great episodes. There’s always a lot going on in those months so there will be no shortage of footage and maybe they’ll get a longer season. I wanna see apple orchards, hayrides, pumpkin carving, costume parties, Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, holiday parties, Christmas morning, and NYE. Throw in some charity galas and house decorating competitions while we’re at it. Lol

Diehard fans of the show are understandably disappointed, but I think everyone is taking AC's words too literally. Then as usual, the media makes it worse by repeating his flippant remarks over and over again (as gospel). I suspect no one knows a damn thing (including AC) and he's just throwing inquiring minds a bone. Other factors include Bravo being beholden to NBC/Universal who is owned by Comcast and as we all know, sh rolls downhill. Factor in the waning popularity of the HW series (and cable TV in general), streaming competition etc;. So before they have another RHONY debacle on their hands, Bravo needs time to regroup, rebrand, and then hopefully relaunch. In their minds, they have plenty other HW franchises to keep us preoccupied. Finally, I don't think they want to get rid of anyone, and they're simply hoping that time will heal NJ's wounds.

Just say it. . . EVERYONE IS FIRED. (lol) New cast like (ugh) RHONY, Last nail in the coffin. Bring Teresa on Traitors 4. And just a thot, maybe not bring back Nj at ALL. .(perm pause).

Lolz!!!! At this point I wouldn’t even care . If they can’t find a way to film as a whole , stop constant teams , stalking , harassing , researching , rumor making , division/ then peace and wish you well . it’s really a shame because I think after her first season and attacking Siggy - Marge gone - things may have been restored . Someone antagonizing the divisions should’ve been long gone especially when family is involved . My opinion.

Andy’s bombshell really isn’t newsworthy. They’re following the same formula as they did for RHNY after S4. Take a year, revamp, shot and market the new season.
Zap It December 18, 2024 - 11:47 am
Agreed. The same formula as RHONY. If he keeps it up, his Jersey reboot will be as dismal as the new RHONY. It'll look good on him. ?

Hippie! So now maybe the can start with a brand new cast, maybe do a background check on these ladies, even go to another area of NJ. Yes, NJ has many affluent areas. Mel has a business and started her cookie business now. Marge has a business too. Dolores will continue being involved WTH her charities and her businesses. Jackie is a lawyer and is a smart money maker. Rachel and her husband together have good businesses. Danielle is a real go getter and will push her kids clothing line. Regarding Jennifer A., she married rich. She’ll be busy with kids and, and…other things. About Tre she married someone of questionable character and will continue to hold grudges, not take responsibility for anything she does wrong, live in a bubble of delusion. Maybe she can teach courses on how to fling drinks and food at people in restaurants. Definitely teach how to lift tables making all plates and flatware crash to the floor at restaurants while she screeches soprano vulgarities. Maybe Tre should stick to eating in. She might have to move into a smaller home, perhaps even one that is not newly built…the Horror.

Everyone is doing something plus what do you have against Jenn marrying rich? Pure jealousy and maybe you should take a course in reality and stop making assumptions based on your bias. But since we're assuming, I would guess Teresa has more money in her purse than you have in your bank account, assuming you have one of course.
Miss mich December 18, 2024 - 3:38 pm
She definitely owes more to the IRS than I have in my purse. If she actually has money in her purse she needs to pay that off
Shaunna December 18, 2024 - 7:02 pm
That's exactly what Teresa has been doing but you still have a problem right?
Jen NYC December 18, 2024 - 3:55 pm
I have nothing against Jen marrying rich, good for her…LMAO. I’m not jealous of any of these ladies and you shouldn’t assume that I am. Also, to the best of my knowledge, I can voice my opinion on them. I don’t live with them, or know them personally, it’s an opinion based of what I see on TV. Now that I’ve voiced my opinion, let me make this perfectly clear, don’t make assumptions on me, or how I live my life, or whether or not I have less money in my purse than Teresa.
Shaunna December 18, 2024 - 7:03 pm
We both can voice our opinion and that's exactly what I did.
viewfromupnorth December 25, 2024 - 5:20 pm
You "voiced" your ignorance - not an opinion!
Shaunna December 26, 2024 - 12:34 pm
You took the time to respond to my "ignorance' so that makes you pretty smart huh? Not. My opinion really mattered to you, lol. :-)
viewfromupnorth December 25, 2024 - 5:18 pm
I think the question isn't about Jennifer marrying rich, the question should be "why would ANYONE marry Jennifer?"
Shaunna December 26, 2024 - 12:34 pm
The REAL question is why do you care?
Zap It December 18, 2024 - 9:29 am
Bravo and Cohen are to blame for this fiasco. Hiring the Gorgas behind Teresa's back was a dirty move that did nothing but create resentment on this show. The Gorgas have never had a story line other than Teresa Guidice. Then hiring that toxic bully Margaret and allowing her to cozy up to the producers to influence story lines and edits was disgusting. She's been trying to control the narrative on this show since she was hired. And then they hire Fuda and Danielle? They actually thought that was a good move? Teresa Guidice has been Bravo's saving grace. She brings it EVERY freaking season and without her there is no Jersey. I'm tiring of Bravo and Andy Cohen and this mess they created. They look like the amateur fools they are. ??
Dulcette December 18, 2024 - 10:55 am
I have to believe their was bad blood prior to the Gorga's joining between the two families. If T and Joe were that close, even with her not liking Melissa, then why would they keep it secret. If there wasn't a certain amount of distain between them, I can't see anything that would cause the Gorgas to keep it a secret.
Zap It December 18, 2024 - 11:42 am
Agreed. I think there was bad blood as soon as Joe started dating Melissa because Melissa is competitive and drove a wedge between Joe and his family. Sadly there are a lot of women like Melissa who cause nothing but grief for the families of sons who marry someone like her. And that's why Joe kept it a secret from his family. It was slimy and he was doing the bidding of his wife and her family. He's weak.
MinnyMM December 18, 2024 - 9:59 pm
Sadly there's a lot of parents out there dictating who their child should marry. His parents didn't give her a chance, many are old school like that. Joe stood up for what he believed in. Joe obviously made a good decision, they have beautiful 3 kids and still married for starters vs. Theresa and her messed-up vindictive persona, marriages...
Kaileah December 18, 2024 - 9:40 pm
Bad blood or not, you don't do what they did. And that being said, which is it then? Melissa's story keeps changing. One day it's they weren't in a good place. Then when she gets called out by Dina to not air out a family's dirty laundry on television, Melissa says her and Teresa were in a good place. Teresa's story never changes. Melissa and Joe's always does. So easy to spot the liar in this family drama.
Laura December 18, 2024 - 4:10 pm
OMG I totally agree with every word you said Zap, EVER word! I have been saying this forever.
Jshappyday December 19, 2024 - 3:16 pm
As much as Bravo has liked the scandal of it, the Gorgas joining behind Teresa and Joe’s back, they know it destroyed the family, parents, etc and the show will never be the same, because they never repeated the formula, bringing another disgruntled sibling on behind a HW back on any of the many HW franchises (don’t count Kyle as she started filming with her siblings from BH season 1). That or they could find any other sibling willing to do it for fame and fortune the last 12 years.

My thoughts.. it’s freakin ridiculous, so there’s that.
