Bravo has officially found a new cast member for the upcoming 15th season of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Fashion designer and former reality TV star Rachel Zoe is making her long-awaited return to the network.
“It’s official, I am coming back to Bravo! I am joining the cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’,” she said.
She continued, “It’s been a while and you’ve been asking me to come back to television, and I said when the stars align or it makes sense or I have enough to say to share with all of you—and now is the time. Really excited to be with all of you again, and I hope you are too, so let’s have some fun!”
Her casting comes at a pivotal moment for the franchise, which follows the departure of longtime favorite cast member, Garcelle Beauvais.

Beauvais confirmed her exit ahead of the Season 14 finale earlier this year. She also made the announcement via Instagram.
“It’s been a wild ride. I mean, some amazing things have happened and some hard things have also happened, but it’s been a ride nevertheless,” she shared. “One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys.”
She added, “Their last year of high school is next year and I want to be a part of that. And Jade is starting a new career and I want to be a part of that too. And secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in. I can’t tell you anything right now, but you’ll know soon.”
Rachel Zoe’s Return to Bravo
Zoe is no stranger to Bravo. She originally joined the network back in 2008 with her hit series “The Rachel Zoe Project.” The show chronicled her professional life in the fashion world while also showing a peek inside her personal life, running for five seasons before ending in 2013.
Since then, Zoe has remained a key figure in the fashion industry and a favorite of the network. Primarily through her digital lifestyle brand and newsletter, “The Zoe Report,” which launched in 2009.
In 2024, Zoe made headlines after she and her husband, Rodger Berman, announced their separation. Via a joint statement on Instagram, the couple shared, “After 33 years together and 26 years married, Rodger and I have come to the mutual decision to end our marriage. We are incredibly proud of the loving family we have created and our countless memories together.”
They emphasized that their two children remain their top priority and confirmed they plan to continue working together on their shared businesses.
What to Expect in Season 15
Season 14 of ‘RHOBH’ featured a dynamic cast that left the audience questioning who would return to the show. It included Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Jennifer Tilly, and Kathy Hilton. However, Bravo has yet to confirm which Housewives will return for Season 15.
Still, Zoe’s addition to the cast signals an exciting new era for the series. Fans are expecting to see a fresh blend of fashion, drama, and high-profile storylines. Fans of the show went on to comment on the news, with one writing, “Best casting decision in a long while! Can’t wait for this 🎉.”
Another one wrote, “Oh wow, this should make this an interesting season!”
