Andy Cohen is weighing in on the Real Housewives of New Jersey cast announcement, and confirming who fans can expect to see as the show gears up for its next chapter.
During a live episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, Andy addressed the news that Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania will be returning for Season 15, with production expected to begin later this spring.
“Of the old guard, the people that you can expect to see are Teresa, Dolores and Melissa,” he said.
While those three are officially locked in, Andy noted that additional casting announcements are still to come.
“There are really no other announcements yet, but we have a great group,” he added.
Behind the scenes, however, the cast shakeup is already making headlines — especially with the confirmed exit of Margaret Josephs.
Earlier, Margaret announced she would not be returning after seven seasons, but sources say the decision ultimately came from Bravo as the network looks to move the show in a different direction.
“She no longer had a place on the show,” a source claimed.
The move reportedly ties back to the same issues that led to RHONJ being paused in the first place, with ongoing feuds and a lack of resolution making it difficult for the series to move forward.
During test filming, insiders say it became clear that some cast dynamics — particularly long-standing tensions — were not evolving, prompting Bravo to make changes ahead of Season 15.
Andy acknowledged that getting to this point hasn’t been easy.
“This has been a journey. This has been a journey,” he said. “We have gone through, this has been a long and winding road to get to this place.”
Now, with a mix of returning veterans and new faces expected to join, the focus is on resetting the show and delivering a stronger season.
“What we owe you is a good show, so that’s what we want to deliver.”
With filming set to begin soon, RHONJ is officially moving forward — just with a noticeably different lineup.
