While the Real Housewives of Orange County's 18th season is just weeks away, fans of the franchise are dying to know when the next installment of The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY) will be back on our screens.
First airing in 2009, the Bravo reality show chronicles the lives of wealthy New York City housewives.
Viewers were left stunned in 2022, when showrunners axed the entire original cast of RHONY, overhauling the series for Season 14 with a new lineup.
Here's everything we know about RHONY season 15 so far.
Who Will Be Starring in 'RHONY' Season 15?
In March, Bravo confirmed that the entire Season 14 lineup of RHONY would be back for season 15.
In October 2022, showrunners announced they would be revamping the show following the negative response to Season 13, making it the first Real Housewives franchise to get an entirely new cast.
The new lineup for Season 14 consisted of Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Lizzy Savetsky, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Brynn Whitfield and Jessel Taank.
The overhaul appears to have paid off. The season 14 premiere pulled in 1.7 million viewers in June 2023, according to TheWrap—a 29 percent increase on Season 13's viewer figures.
Will the Original Cast Make an Appearance in Season 15?
Although no former RHONY housewives have said they'll be appearing in Season 15, since the reboot, some of the show's original cast have featured in Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. The spinoff franchise sends a mixture of former and current housewives on vacation together.
Luann De Lesseps, Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan and Ramona Singer traveled to the Caribbean island of St. Barts for Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy, which aired on Peacock in December 2023.
However, Singer was reportedly cut from BravoCon—a three-day promotional event—in November following allegations of racism. In an exposé for Vanity Fair, RHONY Season 13 cast member Eboni K. Williams accused the 67-year-old of "using the N-Word with a Black crew member."
In an op-ed for Newsweek, Williams described herself as the "most impactful" one-season housewife. The 40-year-old lawyer was added to the lineup as the show's first Black housewife in 2021, but was dropped with the rest of the cast ahead of Season 14.
When Will 'RHONY' Season 15 Air?
The premiere date has yet to be set for the new RHONY season. However, considering the release windows of other RHONY projects and previous premiere dates, Season 15 is likely to drop in late summer or early fall 2024.
Although fans are still eagerly awaiting a trailer for Season 15, Bravo did drop a teaser clip in March.
The 30-second video features the RHONY Season 14 cast speaking to one another on their cellphones, confirming that Season 15 is "really up and coming."
