RHONJ Season 15 Cast Shakeup—Who Is In & Who Is Out

Alot of changes are coming to the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” cast for season 15.

Melissa Gorga, Teresa Giudice, and Dolores Catania are expected to return, according to Ok Magazine. Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda “were not given retention notices, and, at this time, Bravo is not pursuing them for a spot on RHONJ or any other side projects.”

However, Guidice will have a different role.

The Insider told OK Magazine that “it’s looking likely RHONJ will be led by Melissa and Dolores, and Teresa will be given a spin-off.” Much of that is because of “where things stood last season and continue to stand today” between Gorga and Giudice.

With that, Fuda was originally considered a “‘strong contender’ to return, but her husband stood in the way.”

During a February 2025 appearance on the “Sherri” show, Gorga was asked about rumors surrounding a full reboot or cast shakeup for season 15.

“We’ll see,” Gorga said. “I’m hoping that we’ll get some news about the ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey’ sooner than later. We were told we would get news like after the New Year, so I do think that they are working on it right now. “

“I have some good [intel],” she added. “I feel like they’re working on it.  I know they’re definitely talking to bring in some new girls.  I’m assuming they’re going to keep some familiar faces as well.”

Gorga became a series regular in season 3, and her relationship with Guidice continuously took center stage.

During Season 14, there was so much tension between the women that they were unable to do a traditional reunion and were instead split into two groups for two separate watch parties. Gorga and Guidice were separated and during the February appearance on the “Sherri” show, she said that it is not likely that the two could “bury the hatchet.”

Teresa Guidice said that she fully expects to return to “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” for Season 15 during an appearance on the “Bonded by Bravo” podcast in February 2025.

“Of course I’m going to go back,” she said. “Oh my gosh I started it, so I feel like like, you know, there’s still a lot in me. So yeah, definitely I would go back.”

Guidice is the only remaining cast member from Season 1, having been on the show since 2009. However, as of her appearance on the podcast at the beginning of February, she hadn’t gotten an official update from Bravo.

“I heard it’s coming soon,” she said. “Like, because I think they can’t, you know, they have to let you know, like, what’s the status like with the whole employment thing, right?”
