Filming Has Begun for ‘RHONJ’ Without Teresa Giudice — Is Her Reign Over?
The Real Housewives of New Jersey franchise is entering a new chapter, and it appears that one of its most iconic stars, Teresa Giudice, may not be a part of it. According to the latest reports, filming for the upcoming season of RHONJ has already started—without Teresa in the mix.
Teresa Giudice's Absence: Is Her Reign Over?
Fans have been eagerly speculating about Teresa’s future on the show. For years, she has been the undeniable star of RHONJ, with her fiery personality and unforgettable drama driving much of the show’s success. However, it seems that this season, the OG of the franchise is not part of the equation—at least not yet.
While Teresa has not made an official statement about her status, her absence from filming has left fans questioning if she’s stepping away from the show for good. Will this mark the end of her reign, or will she make a dramatic return? Only time will tell.
The Gorgas Are Back
Despite Teresa’s absence, some familiar faces are returning to the RHONJ fold. According to reports, the Gorga family—Joe and Melissa—are confirmed to be coming back for the next season. At a recent celebrity softball event hosted by Dolores Catania, Joe Gorga made it clear that he and Melissa would be returning to RHONJ, teasing fans with a simple yet powerful message: “We’re back.”
This confirmation gives fans hope that the Gorgas will continue to bring their drama, laughter, and family dynamics to the show, even if Teresa isn’t present.
New Faces and Testing Chemistry
In addition to the return of the Gorgas, the show is reportedly focusing on adding some fresh blood. According to an insider, RHONJ veterans Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, and Dolores Catania have already been filming test footage with potential new cast members. This casting shakeup hints that the show could be moving in a different direction, with a renewed focus on the current favorites and possible newcomers who can bring new dynamics to the group.
“They are definitely the three Bravo is focused on bringing back right now,” the source said, indicating that the network is making sure to secure the core trio before finalizing the rest of the cast.
What’s Next for RHONJ?
As the RHONJ cast continues to film, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Teresa’s status. Will she return to stir up more drama, or is the time finally here for a shift in the New Jersey housewives' world? With the Gorgas, Josephs, and Catania at the forefront, and new faces being tested, this could be the beginning of an exciting new era for The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
