The Real Housewives of New Jersey hasn\u2019t graced our screens since 2024. Season 14 was divisive, with the cast either supporting Teresa Giudice or Melissa Gorga. Since then, the feuding sisters-in-law have reconciled, but RHONJ remained in the deep freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, rumors circulated that the series wouldn\u2019t be returning at all. A source added fuel to the fire, claiming, \u201cIf Bravo had a huge interest in the show\u2019s return, why would they not have jumped on filming Teresa and Joe [Gorga\u2019s] reconciliation?\u201d Thankfully, it sounds like there might be some positive movement, indicating that RHONJ could be back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could RHONJ finally return to Bravo in 2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of BravoCon, Andy Cohen shared that there would not be a grand announcement about RHONJ. \u201cWe are not going to be backed into something that\u2019s not going to be great because the Jersey fans deserve greatness,\u201d he stated at the time. \u201cAnd we\u2019re not there yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, an insider told RadarOnline that Bravo is interviewing potential new RHONJ cast members. These discussions are allegedly scheduled to conclude by the end of February. Then, Bravo hopes to \u201cget these new people in front of a camera to see how they perform,\u201d the source stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which former RHONJ cast members could return is still up in the air. \u201cWhile Jennifer Aydin and Rachel Fuda aren\u2019t in the running, the rest of the cast is. It\u2019s possible they could bring some of them back or all of them back to see how they interact with the potential newbies,\u201d the insider claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The source continued, \u201cDon\u2019t forget they did test filming last year, and it went nowhere.\u201d The insider stated that everything is riding \u201con the chemistry of the women once they\u2019re in front of cameras.\u201d The source added, \u201cHowever, this could be a positive sign, because if they like what they see, the show will likely start filming sooner rather than later and finally be back on fans\u2019 screens.\u201d Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
