'RHONJ' Season 15 May Look Very Different, BravoCon Roster Raises Eyebrows About Show's Future

The upcoming BravoCon panel might have just revealed who will be a part of RHONJ season 15—and who might be out. As the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” remains on pause following its explosive fourteenth season, fans have been eagerly waiting for signs about the show’s future.

Only 3 RHONJ Veterans Confirmed for BravoCon Appearance

The “Real Housewives of New Jersey” may be on pause, but the BravoCon 2025 lineup is giving fans a possible preview of who’s returning for season 15—and it’s a much smaller group than expected.

According to Bravo’s official website, just three cast members from the show are confirmed to appear on the RHONJ panel this November at Caesars Forum in Las Vegas: Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, and Dolores Catania.

Although the network has not confirmed her, Teresa Giudice—who’s been at the center of the show’s long-running drama—told “The Fred Show” podcast in May that she’s also been invited.

“We’re on pause right now. But I am going to BravoCon,” Giudice said. “So yeah, I mean obviously, you know, if I’m going to BravoCon, you know what that means.”

Noticeably absent from the event lineup are Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Rachel Fuda, and recurring “friends” Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler. The exclusions have only fueled speculation that Bravo is gearing up for a major cast overhaul after a divisive season 14.

The cast ended the most recent season deeply fractured, with sister-in-laws Giudice and Gorga refusing to film together and Catania playing neutral ground. The tension escalated so severely that Bravo scrapped the traditional reunion format for the first time in RHONJ history, instead opting for a split-screen finale reaction from separate rooms. Andy Cohen admitted it felt like a series finale, and Bravo notably left RHONJ out of its spring renewal announcements.

Andy Cohen Promises RHONJ Season 15 Is Still Moving Forward

Despite the silence from the network, Cohen recently reassured fans that RHONJ isn’t over. “It was really on a deep pause and we are actively there casting and looking at the future of what that will be,” he said during a June 3 appearance on “The View.” “It’s a great franchise, and we love it. I just have to reiterate that.”

What that “future” looks like is still unclear, but several signs point to a major reboot—or at least a pared-down cast. While Giudice told Us Weekly in March that it’s been “relaxing” to step away from filming, Catania had a different take.

“At least you’re running on the adrenaline of what you have to do and what’s expected of you,” Catania, 54, chimed in. “And then all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Wait, it’s been a while now since I’ve done that.’ And then it’s, like, you go through a little thing — almost like a breakup.”

As for Catania, her name has also been tied to “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” which is currently in development. In fact, in a new video posted by Bravo and Cocktails, she can be seen filming with the latest bunch of Housewives.

With RHONJ on hiatus since August 2024, BravoCon could be the first true glimpse of what season 15 will look like—assuming it moves forward at all.
