Bravo still hasn't shared any news about the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but several members of the cast have come out to share their thoughts on what the future of the show should hold.
From Melissa Gorga saying that a reboot would be a mistake, Dolores Catania saying that she expected the show to be paused after the way season 14 ended, and Andy Cohen saying that the network won't be saying anything about the show until at least the end of 2025, it seems like everyone has something to say about RHONJ's future.
Now, Teresa Giudice has spoken up and shared who she would like to see coming back for season 15 of the show and... Teresa's dream cast is unsurprising, to say the least. Plus, who she chose to (and not to) name for who she wanted to see back in season 15 really show that Bravo made the right move not picking the cameras back up to immediately start filming.
Teresa Giudice was a guest on Michelle Barone's podcast, Michelle Barone RED, where she talked about the future of RHONJ and shared who she would like to see back on season 15 -- assuming those rumors about Teresa Giudice being given her own spin-off and departuring from The Real Housewives of New Jersey were false.
On the podcast, the RHONJ OG said that she would like to have Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, and Jackie Goldschneider join her for season 15 of the show. Unsurprisingly, this means she's still not interested in filming with her sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, and didn't list her among the cast members she would want to see back.
In addition to these returning cast members, Teresa Giudice said she would like some "new blood" to join the cast to help shake things up, which means that Teresa Guidice's full dream cast would be four returning RHONJ cast members and some newbies and we would be saying goodbye to Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, both of whom are relatively new to the series having joined in season 13.
Obviously the casting decisions are ultimately up to Bravo execs, but the fact that Teresa Giudice is outright refusing to even play around with the idea of filming with her sister-in-law and co-star Melissa Gorga for the sake of a podcast interview doesn't bode well for the future of the series. Season 14 of RHONJ didn't get a reunion and has been in limbo ever since because of the tensions between Teresa Guidice and Melissa Gorga,
If the RHONJ cast doesn't find a way to work together at least to film -- or if Bravo doesn't pull together a cast that can stand to be around each other to film the series -- then it doesn't seem like the show will be coming back even after 2025. If Teresa Giudice's ideal cast list is anything to go by, those hurt feelings are definitely still there and the time away from filming has done nothing to change her mind.
The first 14 seasons of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are now streaming on Peacock.
