Tamra Judge is officially gearing up for another season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, and she’s not being subtle about it.
After weeks of speculation surrounding cast changes for the upcoming season, Tamra confirmed she has been asked back to The Real Housewives of Orange County for season 20, signaling her return just as filming is set to begin.
While Katie Ginella confirmed she will not be returning, Tamra appeared to verify her own status with a social media post that left little room for interpretation. Sharing a photo of herself debuting new hair extensions, Tamra captioned the post on X with, “Lights. Tamra. Action. ?? #LFG.”

The inclusion of the orange emoji was not lost on fans, a long-standing symbol tied directly to RHOC cast members, and effectively confirmed that Tamra is preparing to film again. She followed it up by doubling down, adding, “lets fu*cking go,” further reinforcing that cameras will be rolling soon.
According to reports, Orange County is expected to begin filming within the next few weeks, placing Tamra squarely back in the mix as the show heads into its next chapter.
Tamra’s return comes at a pivotal time for the franchise. RHOC has been undergoing a period of recalibration following uneven seasons, cast shakeups, and questions about long-term chemistry. While Tamra was previously fired from the show in 2020, her return in later seasons was widely viewed as an attempt by Bravo to re-anchor the series around familiar personalities who know how to drive conflict and storyline momentum.
For now, Tamra appears more than ready to reclaim her role — orange in hand, extensions in place, and cameras on standby.
And if her enthusiasm is any indication, she’s not coming back quietly.
