Teresa Giudice is speaking out about the possibility that “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” could be recast for season 15—amid rumors that a group of new, younger women has already been interviewed.
Speaking on the ”Turning the Tables” podcast in January 2025, Giudice speculated that Bravo would likely bring “some people back” next season, but she also clarified that she would have no problem if another “family” wants to take the reins.
“If there’s another family that wants to put it out there, all the power to them,” Giudice said. “I’ll be cheering them on, and I would give them my advice. I would love that.”
The veteran RHONJ star noted that no other Housewives family has been through what her family has endured. “I mean, it started out with the Manzos, but like I said, they didn’t air their dirty laundry out there,” she added.
Giudice’s brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa joined the cast of RHONJ three seasons in. Her cousins Kathie Wakile and Rosie Pierri were also on the cast in early seasons. The family members are now estranged amid the drama that played out on the show.
In 14th season of RHONJ starred Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda, with Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler as “friends.”
RHONJ Is Is Still in Limbo, According to Reports
Bravo
Giudice’s comments about giving advice to newcomers come as a new report claims a new group of women was prematurely cast for RHONJ for season 15. In January 2025, a source close to production claimed to OK magazine that “Bravo offered a group of new, younger women positions to be on the show.”
The insider added, “Bravo ended up not being sure what direction they wanted to take the show in, so they put the new women on pause, as well as the old women.”
With the series still on a lengthy pause that could go until the end of 2025, the source claimed that “the old cast could come back in some capacity or it could be an entire new cast.”
“Real Housewives” producer Andy Cohen also shared on his Sirius XM show “Andy Cohen Live” that producers had already “done a lot” regarding casting for the upcoming 15th season, but he did not elaborate.
Teresa Giudice Said She’d Welcome ‘New Blood’ Onto the Show
Giudice’s sister-in-law previously shared what she heard about potential new cast members joining RHONJ. Speaking on the “No Filter With Zack Peter” podcast in September 2024, Melissa Gorga said, “They are casting right now is what I believe. I’m hearing little tidbits of this one interviewed and that one interviewed, and who did whose makeup for this and that. So, I think they’re very much still figuring it all out.”
During a December 2024 interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea,” Giudice was also asked her thoughts about adding new cast members into the mix and she said she was all for it. “Of course,” the RHONJ OG said. “I love new blood and I love to make new friends. I’m all about that. So yeah, I think that would be fun.”
