Bravo is reportedly putting “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” on pause.
Following the Season 14 finale and the non-traditional reunion, which air consecutively over the next two Sundays, the show will allegedly go on hiatus.
“There are not going to be any decisions about what will or won’t happen with the show until early next year,” a source told the Daily Mail.
“Filming will likely not resume until 2025.”
“There is not going to be any more filming of ‘RHONJ’ for the remainder of the year. There’s nothing planned. It’s on ice,” the insider continued.
The current cast, which includes Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, as well as friends Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler, is extremely divided and has been accused of instigating toxicity on social media.
“There are not going to be any decisions about what will or won’t happen with the show until early next year,” a source also told the Daily Mail. The Season 12 cast can be seen above.
“Filming will likely not resume until 2025,” the insider said.
Viewership also hit a “new series low” this season, which was filmed between August and October 2023, according to the Daily Mail.
While Andy Cohen recently said viewers may see “all fresh faces” on the show upon its eventual return, Daily Mail’s insider said, “The cast for the new season is not going to be decided anytime soon. Casting is not something Bravo is rushing into. It’s not even going to start to take form until next year.”
“However,” the source noted, “there are some cast members that are less likely to come back than others based on certain events that have unfolded this past season. But, for two or three cast members, it could be over for good.”
“There is not going to be any more filming of ‘RHONJ’ for the remainder of the year. There’s nothing planned. It’s on ice.”
The current cast includes Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, as well as friends Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler.
A second source told the Daily Mail that Cohen is “not ruling out anything” when it comes to the future of the series, which first premiered on Bravo in May 2009.
“It can be a cast shakeup with only some cast members coming back, it can be rebooted, or ‘RHONJ’ can be canceled altogether – nothing is off the table,” the source said.
“Bravo has not put a timeline on when filming will resume because, literally, no one knows what’s going to happen and it’s going to take time to figure out the next steps.”
“The cast for the new season is not going to be decided anytime soon. Casting is not something Bravo is rushing into. It’s not even going to start to take form until next year,” Daily Mail’s source said.
Gorga, who is estranged from Giudice and does not film with her sister-in-law, told Page Six last week that she is “excited” for “some type of change” — whatever that may be.
Bravo reps didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
New episodes of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” air Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
