The Real Housewives of Potomac has recently gone through a lot of upset on the reality series. With Robyn Dixon being fired from the series, Candiace Dillard Bassett choosing to not return, and reports stating that Nneka Ihim is also out for Season 9, we're left wondering who is even going to be part of the series when it returns. And when will it start filming? According to reports, we have at least some of our answers and it sure is going to be interesting to see what happens with Season 9 now.
Dillard Bassett, Dixon, and Ihim are out but Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Mia Thornton, Karen Huger, and Wendy Osefo are all set to return to the series this season. Season 8 left the group fractured when Osefo and Ihim fought about their families, Dixon and Dillard Bassett fought about Juan Dixon and things that they've all said and done in the past, and Huger tried to play the fence in every situation. With a lot of the people that drama surrounded gone this coming season, it will be interesting to see what happens with Season 9 because as of this moment, there is no new announcement for who is going to join the series.
According to TV Deets, the series is also supposed to begin filming Season 9 as soon as next week. So if there were going to be more casting announcements, we will probably hear about them as soon as filming begins. They also reported that Keiarna Stewart will not be returning as a friend of Osefo this season either. Sources close to the production have stated that they do want to add more women to the cast and there have been a few names floating around but nothing is set as of yet.
Season 9 of 'RHOP' Will Look a lot Different
A lot changed for the wives in Season 8. Thornton is in the middle of a divorce from Gordon Thornton, and the fights between the wives changed the friendship circle. Season 8 as a whole was massively divided.
With Season 9, will there be as much drama to bring each episode to life? Season 8 included a fight at a chicken bingo bar in Austin between Dixon and Dillard Bassett but without their energy, we just don't know what Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Potomac will hold for us. At least we know that new housewives are coming at some point.
Dillard Bassett Will Be Missed
Dillard Bassett's exit is one that hit hard for fans. She was the housewife that many loved to watch defending herself against her fellow housewives and knowing that she chose to take a break is going to change who people tuned in for. Could it turn into Huger's time? Or will another housewife come in to make the show hers?
With so many things left in the air, there are a lot of opportunities for The Real Housewives of Potomac to change the show with Season 9 and we cannot wait to see what is going to happen.
