Andy Cohen confirmed that fans will get no new information about “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” at BravoCon 2025. The Bravo host and producer spoke out on the “Housewives Nightcap” podcast when he was asked if there was an update on casting for RHONJ Season 15.
“Well, I can tell you you’re not gonna get one. Okay?” Cohen, 57, revealed. “There is no Jersey announcement. We will announce something when the casting’s right, okay? We’re not gonna be backed into something that’s not gonna be great, because the Jersey fans deserve greatness, and we’re not there yet. I’m just being real with you.”
The 14th season of RHONJ starred Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, and Rachel Fuda, as well as “friends” Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler. Several stars from the show will appear at the BravoCon fan fest from Nov. 14-16 in Las Vegas.
Fans Reacted to Andy Cohen’s Latest Comments About RHONJ
BravoThere have been no RHONJ cast confirmations at all amid rumors of a full reboot or cast shakeup for the show following an extremely volatile Season 14, which filmed in 2023.
On social media, fans speculated that Cohen was treading lightly after the mixed reaction to the previous reboot of “The Real Housewives of New York City.” Other commenters were frustrated by the long hiatus for the Jersey-based Bravo reality show.
“Well, get it together and make this happen before you don’t have any fans to watch the show 😂 taking too damn long 😂,” one fan wrote on Instagram.
“Hurry the hell up get the casting right!” another agreed.
“I guess he doesn’t want another flop reboot like rhony,” another fan wrote.
“Dear lord ❤️🙌please I’m done with the waiting 💔😩,” another chimed in.
Andy Cohen Warned Fans There Might Not Be Any RHONJ Casting News Until 2026
GettyIn May, Cohen told fans there wouldn’t be any RHONJ casting news anytime soon. “Not for a while. Oh yeah,” he told “Housewives Nightcap.”
Last December, he told Us Weekly that it could be 2026 before an official announcement was made. “You’re not gonna get it for, like, a year, so everyone stop asking,” he said at the time. “And I keep saying you are going to get nothing, so stop asking!”
But in October 2025, Cohen told fans during an Ask Andy segment at “Watch What Happens Live” that RHONJ news was “very close.” “We have very good casting,” he teased.
While there have been no confirmations from Bravo, a source told Us Weekly that Josephs, Catania, and Gorga reportedly test-filmed with potential new cast members in mid-August.
“Some of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ cast have test-filmed,” the insider said. “They want to see how the new girls work on camera with some veteran cast members from the show.” The source clarified that RHONJ veterans Giudice, Goldschneider, and Jennifer Fessler were “still in consideration to be part of the new season,” despite the fact that they were not part of the test filming.
Longtime cast member Jennifer Aydin has already said she was not invited to BravoCon and assumes she won’t be asked back for RHONJ Season 15.
