The Real Housewives of New Jersey returns in December 2026 on Bravo after more than two years off air. The exact premiere date has not been named yet, and no full trailer has been released.
Season 15 brings back three familiar faces and adds five new full-time Housewives, plus one friend of the cast. It was filmed after Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga repaired their family rift.
When Does RHONJ Season 15 Premiere
The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 15 premieres in December 2026 on Bravo. The exact premiere date has not been announced yet.
An insider report said Dec 3; that date has not been confirmed. That report also said a trailer would arrive on Nov 3. The Nov 3 item was a first-look teaser only, and no full trailer followed.
The cast was announced on Oct 21, 2026. Filming began in spring 2026 and wrapped on Aug 4, 2026. Melissa Gorga said the cast had wrapped “with a bang.”
How to Watch RHONJ Season 15
Season 15 airs on Bravo. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
The weekly day and time have not been announced yet. Season 14 aired on Sundays at 8pm ET, but that slot does not confirm the Season 15 slot.
Who Is in the Season 15 Cast
The Season 15 cast has nine women: three returning full-time Housewives, five new full-time Housewives, and one friend of the cast. The full lineup was announced on Oct 21, 2026.
The returning Housewives are Teresa Giudice, 54, Melissa Gorga, 47, and Dolores Catania, 55. Teresa has been on the show since Season 1 in 2009. Melissa joined in Season 3 in 2011. Dolores joined as a full-time Housewife in Season 7 in 2016.
The five new full-time Housewives are Malvina Blloshmi, Xio Cammarota, Juliette Collazo, Deeba Patel, and Natia Rufolo. Malvina, 37, moved from Albania to New Jersey as a teenager and co-owns cocktail mixer company Dirty Pelican with her fiance Bryan Tiedemann. She is mom to 3-year-old Leo.
Xio Cammarota and Juliette Collazo are twin sisters. A November 5 profile lists Xio as 47, while an October report lists Juliette as 39. Those two numbers cannot both be right for twins, and no birth dates have been published to settle it. Xio is launching her own marketing firm after working at Juliette’s Artist Makeup Academy. Juliette runs that academy as CEO and founder.
Deeba Patel is a former dance teacher and choreographer to Bollywood stars. She lives in Alpine, New Jersey, with her husband Majid, and they run gas stations, convenience stores, and laundromats together. No age is given here because reports split between 41 and 42.
Natia Rufolo is a board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of INJX by Nat Aesthetics, known as the PDO Threading Queen. She is working to repair a strained relationship with her mother Tamara, and she shares two children with her husband Tommy.
Vanessa Barerra joins as a friend of the Housewives, not as a full-time Housewife. She is a close friend of Deeba Patel and calls herself the Social Mayor of Alpine, New Jersey. Some material spells her name Barrera, with the double R in the middle, so readers may see both spellings.
Dolores is the group’s mediator this season, but at Fan Fest she said she is no longer “playing Switzerland” and will speak her mind. Four Season 14 full-time cast members are not returning: Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Rachel Fuda, and Danielle Cabral. Margaret announced her exit in March 2026, after seven seasons.
What Happened in Season 14
Season 14 ran for 14 episodes, from May 5 to Aug 11, 2024. The finale, “When All Is Said and Done,” aired on Aug 4, 2024. A wrap-up special, “Off the Rails,” aired on Aug 11, 2024.
There was no reunion. The usual reunion taping was cancelled, and the season closed with the “Off the Rails” watch party instead. The party was filmed at Rails Steakhouse in Towaco, New Jersey, with no host.
The cast sat in two rooms for that special. One room held Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Jackie Goldschneider, and Dolores Catania. The other held Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral, Jennifer Fessler, and Rachel Fuda. Dolores was the only cast member who visited both rooms.
Teresa and Melissa refused to speak to each other through the whole season, and the finale dinner ended with the two sides further apart. The gap between the Season 14 finale on Aug 4, 2024, and the Season 15 premiere in December 2026 is about 28 months. The show went on pause after Season 14, then its return was announced in March 2026.
Teresa and Melissa Reconciled
Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga repaired their rift before Season 15 filming began. The repair started in private in September 2025, when Teresa texted her brother Joe Gorga out of the blue.
Teresa had just filmed Special Forces with her eldest daughter Gia Giudice, and she said she did not want Gia questioning her advice about family while she was feuding with her own brother.
Teresa and Joe met first at the cemetery mausoleum where their parents are buried. A second meeting followed in a park, with Teresa, Joe, Melissa, and Louie Ruelas talking for hours, then lunch. Apologies were exchanged on all sides.
The reconciliation went public at BravoCon in November 2025. Teresa and Melissa then filmed together in Season 15, and they hugged on camera during filming in July 2026. Andy Cohen said the network had waited months before filming, because the family had made up before and the network wanted to see them live it first.
Melissa said in a joint interview in October 2026 that the two agreed no friendship with another Housewife will come between them again. Teresa and Melissa still disagree about parts of the past, and both have said so in the same interview.
First Look
The only Season 15 footage released so far came from Fan Fest on Oct 24, 2026, in Charleston. One scene was shown from a lingerie party, not a full trailer.
In the scene, Melissa Gorga says she has never tried an oyster. Teresa Giudice gives her blunt advice on how to eat it, and Juliette Collazo jokes that what Teresa said could be taken a certain way. The group toasts to sisterhood, counts to three, and eats raw oysters together as the rest of the cast cheers.
No full trailer has been released as of Nov 6, 2026. The Nov 3 item was a first-look teaser only, not a full trailer.
Episode Guide
No episode count, episode titles, or weekly schedule has been announced for Season 15. No episode titles or air dates are listed here, because none have been confirmed.
One unconfirmed claim is going around: a fan account in June 2026 said filming would run to only 10 episodes. That claim is unconfirmed, and it sits against Melissa Gorga saying filming wrapped with a bang and Andy Cohen teasing that Teresa was having fun filming for the first time. We will update this page as soon as our research team has the latest data.
