Andy Cohen confirms ‘RHONJ’ is getting a ‘reboot,’ says ‘all fresh faces’ may be coming
This might actually be goodbye to the Garden State girls.
After weeks of speculation, Bravo honcho Andy Cohen confirmed that “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is getting a reboot.
“Have you heard that we’re gonna do big changes to the show?” Cohen, 56, told an “Andy Cohen Live” SiriusXM radio show caller Monday who complained about the current season’s storylines.
“We are rebooting the show,” he assured the disgruntled fan, reiterating, “We’re gonna reboot it. We’re gonna do something different.”
Interrupting the woman, who continued complaining, Cohen said, “We’re gonna see what we do. We’ll see. I don’t know. Maybe just all fresh faces.”
The current cast consists of series OG Teresa Giudice, her estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda, in addition to “friends” Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler.
This isn’t the first time a fan has suggested Cohen “bring fresh faces in” and “get rid” of all the “negativity.”
“I agree,” he told a caller last week who argued that the show needs a “rebrand.”
“We’re gonna figure something out,” he promised the fan. “We are all on the same page about that.”
Page Six recently caught up with Gorga, who insisted she’s on board with a shakeup.
“Listen, I’m excited for what’s to come. I think we are due for some type of change,” she told us last week.
“I don’t know what kind of change, but I am excited to see what happens. I am excited to see what’s next and where this show goes from here.”
At the time, Gorga admitted she hadn’t heard anything about what the network plans to do with the series, explaining, “My guess is as good as yours.”
Page Six confirmed last month that showrunners had informed the ladies that a “traditional reunion wasn’t happening this season” due to several feuds among the “divisive” cast.
