With season 14 in the rearview mirror, “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is reportedly gearing up for its next chapter — and the season 15 cast lineup is already generating major buzz. As contracts are allegedly being handed out by Bravo and filming prep begins, insiders are spilling details about who’s back, who’s gone, and which Housewife was told to step it up… or else.
Kyle Richards Reportedly Returning for ‘RHOBH’ Season 15 — But With Conditions
According to a production insider, Kyle Richards was the biggest question mark heading into season 15. But after weeks of speculation, she has allegedly agreed to return — with a catch. Producers reportedly offered her a “big incentive” to stay, and Richards made it clear what she’s willing to show… and what she’s not.
“She knows, basically, she has to step it up next season,” the source told The U.S. Sun. “She says she’s showing as much as she can without hurting those around her. But fans want to see more of her personal life, which includes her dating life.”
Season 14 focused heavily on Richards’ separation from Mauricio Umansky and her rumored relationship with country singer Morgan Wade — a subject she never fully confirmed on camera, frustrating several of her castmates.
Sutton Stracke, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, and newcomer Bozoma “Boz” Saint John are also reportedly returning full-time for season 15. Despite whispers that Jayne had been demoted or let go, insiders claim the rumors are false and that she remains a diamond holder—at least for now.
Garcelle Beauvais Confirms Exit, Cast Shakeup Rumor Round Up
While much of the returning cast appears solidified, not everyone is sticking around. Garcelle Beauvais confirmed her exit on March 25, revealing via Instagram that she had “decided to leave Beverly Hills.”
“It’s been a wild ride,” she wrote. “Some amazing things have happened, and some hard things have also happened, but it’s been a ride nevertheless.”
Beauvais cited her teenage sons — both about to enter their senior year of high school — as her main reason for stepping away. She also teased that she’s working on new producing and acting projects.
As for other casting rumors — but there’s a lot of talk. An insider recently told OK! Magazine that “a main cast member is going to be let go,” a “friend of” will be cut, and another Housewife may be downgraded to friend status.
Fans speculate that Jayne could be the one getting demoted, based on a blind item from Bravo and Cocktails hinting that a West Coast Housewife who shaded a costar as “not interesting” received a “friend of” contract.
Kemsley has also been the subject of speculation, with some noticing her Instagram bio doesn’t mention “RHOBH.” While some fans took that as a sign she’s done, others pointed out she’s never referenced the show in her bio to begin with.
No word yet on when season 15 of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” will premiere. While fans wait, they can stream all seasons on Peacock.
