The Real Housewives of Atlanta's season 16 costars have finally been revealed amid a recent cast shakeup.
Returning to the reality show after a two-season hiatus is Porsha Williams, who will join season 15 stars Kenya Moore and Drew Sidora, the network announced May 14. The ladies will be joined by longtime friend of the show Shamea Morton Mwangi plus series newbies Brittany Eady, Kelli Ferrell and Angela Oakley.
But those aren't the only familiar faces viewers will see on the new season. Cynthia Bailey, who starred on the show for 10 years before exiting in 2021, is back as a friend of the cast.
Unfortunately, that means fan-favorite Shereé Whitfield will not be returning next year.
Production begins this month with the premiere set for 2025.
RHOA's new look should come as no surprise to Bravo fans as longtime stars Kandi Burruss and Marlo Hampton recently announced their departures.
"It's been 14 seasons, and they allowed us to sit around for a little too long," Kandi, who joined the show in 2009, revealed to Variety in February. "But during that time I had started working on a lot of other things, and I got some nice big projects coming soon, so I'm super excited about those things."
Shortly after Porsha announced her return earlier this year, Marlo confirmed she was giving up her peach.
J. Martin Visuals/Will Sterling"My contract with Real Housewives of Atlanta ended when season 15 wrapped," she told E! News in a statement in February. "This break from RHOA is a fresh start, allowing me the space to participate in new creative entertainment projects focused on my future, and not reliving my past."
Rari Filmz/Hassan Richardson"My nephews are transitioning into pivotal stages of their academic adolescence," she added, "and I am focused on my representation in their eyes and getting back to showing my multifaceted lifestyle of philanthropy, fashion, and fabulosity!"

Once upon a time, DeShawn starred on the same TV show as NeNe Leakes. Surprising, we know.

141. Shamari DeVoe, The Real Housewives of Atlanta
A one-and-done Housewife, Shamari was at least fun?

136. Eva Marcille, RHOA
The America's Next Top Model veteran picked up a peach for seasons 11 and 12, but never really made an impression in the world of RHOA, aside from being pregnant for what felt like her entire tenure. Points for that epic read of Marlo Hampton while in Tokyo, though.
