Andy Cohen has officially confirmed the cancellation of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, sending shockwaves through the Bravo fan community.
Fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey have been buzzing with anticipation — and concern — about the future of the show following a somewhat controversial and divisive season 14. With the season now wrapped, it’s clear that major changes are on the horizon.
As rumors of a reboot swirl, Andy Cohen, the mastermind behind the Real Housewives franchise, recently confirmed that these whispers hold some truth. In a candid interview, Cohen addressed the state of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, potential cast shakeups, and the direction of other popular Bravo shows.
Andy Cohen Confirms ‘RHONJ’ Reboot Rumors
It’s no secret that season 14 of RHONJ left many fans feeling underwhelmed. The season was marked by a dark tone and the noticeable lack of interaction between two of the show’s biggest stars, Teresa Guidice and Melissa Gorga. The tension between the two was so intense that it prevented the traditional reunion from taking place, a clear sign of the fractured dynamics within the cast. Viewers were left questioning the future of the show, and the ratings reflected this uncertainty.
In a recent interview with Extra TV, Andy Cohen addressed these concerns head-on. When asked about the future of RHONJ, Cohen didn’t shy away from the possibility of a long pause before the show returns.
“Keep waiting. There’s no rush. Yeah… we’re going to take our time,” Cohen stated, signaling that the show’s producers are in no hurry to rush back into production.
When pressed about the rumored cast shakeup, Cohen remained tight-lipped but acknowledged the ongoing discussions.
“I wish that I had an answer for you. We actually don’t. We’re going to figure it out. We’ll get back to you. We’re calling ‘Extra’ on speed dial when we figure it out,” he added, leaving fans eager for any forthcoming updates.
Reflecting on Season 14: A Divisive but Strong Season
Despite the mixed reactions from fans, Cohen stood by the quality of season 14.
“I actually thought it was a great season,” he remarked. However, he admitted that the dynamics within the group made it clear that the current cast couldn’t move forward together. “It was just very clear that there was no moving forward with this group,” Cohen stated, hinting that the unresolved tensions between the cast members might have led to the need for a significant shakeup.

In addition to discussing RHONJ, Cohen also shared his excitement about the upcoming season of The Real Housewives of New York City, which will feature new cast members, Racquel Chevremont and Rebecca Minkoff. According to Cohen, these new additions are exactly what the show needs.
“These are powerful, strong, fashionable, beautiful women, and they fit right in, and I’m really bullish on the new season. It’s funny, it’s exotic, it’s aspirational, and it feels like New York City,” he said.
When asked about a pregnancy teased in the trailer, Cohen played coy but hinted at exciting developments to come. “You know what, I’m not gonna say beyond the trailer, but you’re gonna be into it,” he teased, leaving fans to speculate.
Cohen also touched on Phaedra Parks’ return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta and her appearances on other NBC Universal shows. “I’m really excited. We got to see her on Married to Medicine, we got to see her on Traitors. By the way, you’re going to see her on the next season of Married to Medicine too, and now you’ll see her on The Housewives of Atlanta, so it’s so great,” Cohen shared, clearly thrilled about Phaedra’s return to the Housewives universe.
