While claims of a complete reboot may be overstated, The Real Housewives of New Jersey is expected to change in Season 15, though fans may have to wait some time to see those changes.
A source informed DailyMail.com this week that filming for RHONJ “will likely not resume until 2025.”
The source stated: “There are not going to be any decisions about what will or won’t happen with the show until early next year. There is not going to be any more filming of RHONJ for the remainder of the year. There’s nothing planned. It’s on ice.”
The 14th season of the Bravo reality show was disappointing for fans, as the cast was split into two factions due to a significant conflict between sisters-in-law Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice.
This tension resulted in Bravo canceling the post-finale cast reunion for Season 14.
So why the delay for Season 15? The source speculated,“I think that they don’t know what to do.”
“They don’t know what to do because it’s almost like a puzzle where you’re trying to put pieces together that make sense. And there’s very few pieces of this puzzle that make sense for viewers right now.”
A second source told DailyMail.com that Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen is “not ruling anything out” regarding the potential return of RHONJ and how it might unfold.
“It can be a cast shakeup with only some cast members coming back, it can be rebooted, or RHONJ can be cancelled altogether — nothing is off the table.”
Cohen, in response to a frustrated RHONJ fan who called into his SiriusXM radio show, stated that he and the other producers are planning to “reboot it” and “do something different,” potentially featuring “ all fresh faces,” according to Entertainment Weekly.
After his comments went viral, Cohen clarified that he was “just riffing” and “not definitively saying it’s going to be all fresh faces.”
He added that producers “are going to reimagine the show in some way,” according to Page Six.
