Production on season 15 of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is set to begin soon. It will feature returning fan-favorites Teresa Giudice, Dolores Catania, and Melissa Gorga. Now, ahead of production on “RHONJ,” Giudice is opening up about when she knew she was returning to the show and more.

Teresa Giudice Says She Knew She Was Returning to ‘RHONJ’

Giudice published a new episode of her “Turning The Tables With Teresa Giudice” podcast. For this one, the “RHONJ” star opened up about her return to the show while answering questions from fans and her co-host.

First, she was asked how she found out that Bravo was interested in her returning to the show. Giudice responded, “I mean, I knew for a little bit that this was happening, but it’s always confirmed when Bravo put it out there.

She went on, “So, I was happy when they put that out there.” From there, Giudice reflected on her legacy, saying, “I’m still here from the beginning. I’m grateful, and Bravo made their decision, and that’s it.”

The Mom Of Four Says She’s Excited For The Newbies

So far, Bravo has not unveiled the full cast for season 15 of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Presumably, the three returning ladies will be joined by approximately four new cast members. During the podcast, she spoke about the possibilities with the new ladies.

According to Giudice, “I’m excited to meet the new women. I’m really excited. I’m a girl’s girl. I like making new friends. So I can’t wait.” Her cohost then asked whether she knew when production would begin, and she said she could not say. However, Bravo has claimed filming will begin this spring.

Giudice went on, “We can’t talk about that yet, but everybody’s gonna know once we start. The fans will take videos and stuff like that.”

Additionally, a fan wrote to the show, calling season 15 of “RHONJ” a “make or break” for the show and asking whether she felt pressured by it. Giudice responded, “I’m just taking it for what it is. Listen, I’m excited. It couldn’t keep going for what it was, so I’m excited for new blood.”

She added, “I love making new friends. I feel like it’s a new chapter.” The “RHONJ” star also called the upcoming season “a reset.”

Fans Are Reacting To Teresa’s Remarks

Following Giudice’s remarks about “RHONJ” season 15, fans took to the comments section to not only react but to also give their thoughts on the show.

One person wrote, “I honestly, honestly, honestly, just want Teresa, Joe & Melissa to get on and be happy after the last few years. We’ve all enjoyed ‘Housewives’ drama, but theirs went too far and was very upsetting. I’m not religious, but I’m praying for them all.”

Another “RHONJ” fan said, “The show could never be the same without YOU! You have evolved, and true fans can see you for who you are. God Bless in all your endeavors.”

Someone else stated, “Teresa, the best part in all of this, particularly with Marge being tossed aside, is that you can finally have FUN again on the show, the show can be fun like it used to be, no Marge cult running around to ruin everything! Drama will always come naturally, but we don’t need someone chasing after you like Marge was; it was really hard to watch her.”

Lastly, a different social media user said, “Teresa, we’re all so glad you’re back!!! Ding dong, the Marge is GONE! People are dancing in the streets in celebration!”

Andy Cohen And The ‘RHONJ’ Cast Are Excited

“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” hasn’t had a new episode air since 2024. After that, there were multiple reports about the show, including that they were considering moving forward without Giudice. Then, in March 2026, the network confirmed that not only would Giudice be returning, but Gorga and Catania would as well.

Since then, according to Bravo, Andy Cohen has shared his thoughts. He said, “This has been a journey. We have gone through this has been a long and winding road to get to this place, and I’m very excited. What we owe you is a good show, so that’s what we want to deliver.”

Gorga said in a video, “Lots of good news today, ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ is back, baby! Let’s go! I know you missed us, Jersey girls, so I’m super excited about that. I have so much I wanna say about that. I just keep going on, and on, and on. But I think I’m just gonna say it’s about time, OK? Jersey’s in the house.”

Catania also spoke on “Watch What Happens Live” about keeping the peace between Gorga and Giudice.

Bravo Is Also Premiering ‘RHORI’

Bravo announced multiple shows amid the “RHONJ” hiatus. One such show is “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” which many, including Cohen, have compared to “New Jersey.” Notably, Catania will appear on the series as a friend of the show, as she has a history with cast member Liz McGraw.

According to Bravo, she recently spoke about Rhode Island, where she spent the summer of 2025 during filming. Catania said, “It was beautiful. We had an amazing house on the water with hydrangeas, a huge yard, and a bird feeder. Every morning, I was feeding the birds. I was walking to this little town. It was insane. Beautiful. Sunsets were amazing. Every day.”

“The Real Housewives of Rhode Island” premieres on Bravo on April 2, and Peacock subscribers can watch it the following day.
