Andy Cohen Explains Why Teresa and Melissa’s Reunion Wasn’t Filmed for ‘RHONJ’ Season 15 (Exclusive)

The following December, Cohen told Us that fans would be waiting at least a “year” before they received an update on the show’s status.

Months later, Us reported in February that no casting decisions had been made yet. “All of them have been in contact with production but not with any news,” a source told Us at the time. “There’s still an open line of communication but no news [regarding] who is coming back or who is not coming back.”

According to the insider, production wanted “the show to come back” and was willing to “see how they can make it work.”

Bravo confirmed to Us at the time that “no decisions [had] been made around casting for RHONJ.”

While official decisions have yet to be made, Us exclusively revealed in September that Bravo was working on casting season 15.

“Some of The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast have test-filmed,” a source told Us. “There are potential new cast members who filmed with Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania and Melissa Gorga in mid-August.”

The insider added, “They want to see how the new girls work on camera with some veteran cast members from the show.”

While Teresa, 53, Jackie, 49, and Jen, 55, did not test-film, the source claimed the trio were “still in consideration to be part of the new season.”

A Bravo spokesperson reiterated to Us at the time, “No official casting decisions have been made.”

Along with RHONJ, fans are eagerly awaiting any updates on the future of The Real Housewives of New York City, which concluded its 15th season (and second with the rebooted cast) in February. With Brynn Whitfield already confirming her exit following the dramatic season finale and reunion, viewers are curious who will return.

When it comes to any RHONY news coming out of BravoCon 2025, Cohen told Us on Friday to “standby.”
