The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars are still in limbo about whether or not they’ll be returning for season 15, Us Weekly has learned exclusively.
The leading ladies have been in touch with production, but an official decision on who stays and who goes has yet to be made.
“All of them have been in contact with production, but not with any news,” a source tells Us Weekly. “There’s still an open line of communication but no news on who is coming back or who is not coming back.”
The insider adds that while there’s no news about the future of RHONJ, “production wants the show to come back” and is willing to “see how they can make it work.”

But despite their hopes for a start of another season, the source adds that it’s “the network that’s stalling.”
“None of the Housewives have heard anything from the network,” says the insider.
A spokesperson for Bravo told Us Weekly in a statement that “no decisions have been made around casting for RHONJ.”
RHONJ has been on pause since season 14 wrapped in August 2024. The season featured Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabrael. Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler also made appearances as “friends.”
Us‘ update comes after a viral OK! report claimed that the network was pursuing Gorga and Catina to return and a separate spinoff with Giudice. Our source denied the report.
All season long, fans watched as sisters-in-law Giudice, 52, and Gorga, 45, continued to be at odds amid their ongoing family drama. The duo refused to film together and the season was so divided that the reunion was ultimately canceled.
Before the finale even aired, rumors swirled that RHONJ was going to be rebooted with a whole new cast. However, Andy Cohen shot down the speculation.
“There was a lot of play with that one and I think the answer is, I was talking to a cast member about this today,” the Bravo executive, 56, said during a June 2024 episode of SiriusXM’s Reality Checked with Kiki Monique. “We are gonna cross next season as that comes.”
Cohen added that they plan to “take a minute to figure things out” and didn’t want to rush any decision when it comes to RHONJ‘s future.

Six months later, Cohen echoed similar sentiments in an exclusive interview with Us — and pleaded for fans to remain patient.
“You’re not gonna get it for, like, a year, so everyone stop asking,” he told Us. “And I keep saying you are going to get nothing, so stop asking!”
