The dust may have barely settled from the dramatic Real Housewives of New York City Season 15 finale, but the show is already gearing up for some major changes. With tensions running high among the cast, it’s clear that RHONY producers are making plans for a potential cast overhaul.
Sources have revealed to Us Weekly that producers are actively seeking out “potential new ladies” before they even make final decisions on who will return to the show next season. As one insider shared, “It depends on who they find… It’s unclear on how many cast members they are looking for — and who may stay or who may go.” This means that any of the current faces may be on the chopping block.
Fans of RHONY are no strangers to casting drama, but this time, it looks like producers are casting a wider net to find fresh personalities. “Producers are always putting feelers out to see if they can find anyone new,” the insider noted, hinting that no one’s job is safe just yet.
The Season 15 Drama That Could Change Everything
Season 15 of RHONY saw its fair share of unforgettable moments, including fiery feuds, emotional confessions, and plenty of jaw-dropping moments. The season finale, set in Puerto Rico, brought the simmering tension between castmates Brynn Whitfield and Ubah Hassan to a boiling point. The two engaged in a massive showdown, where accusations flew—none more intense than Ubah’s claim that Brynn had slept with someone to land her role on the show.
As the situation escalated, Brynn opened up about her past trauma, revealing that she had been sexually assaulted. Ubah, taken aback, denied knowing about Brynn’s experience, adding fuel to an already volatile situation. With the rest of the cast stepping in to separate the two, it’s clear that their relationship is anything but mended.
But despite the heated finale, fans were left wondering whether Brynn, Ubah, or any of the other cast members would return for another season. And it seems RHONY producers aren’t just sitting back waiting for answers—they’re already making moves.
Producers Begin the Search for New Blood
Even before the season wrapped up, signs pointed to casting changes. In January, fans noticed that Shed Casting—a company that’s worked on RHONY and other Bravo franchises—posted an intriguing call for new cast members. On Instagram, the casting agency wrote, “It’s that time…? Come and get your apple,” alongside a call for residents of Brooklyn and Manhattan who have “an organic connection” to someone already on the cast.
This casting call raised eyebrows, as it suggests that producers aren’t just looking for any new faces—they want to find people who already have ties to the existing RHONY crew. Whether this means a new Housewife will bring a fresh perspective or simply stir up existing drama remains to be seen.
What’s Next for Brynn and the Gang?
While fans continue to speculate about who will stay or go, the drama between Brynn and the rest of the cast is still fresh on everyone’s minds. During the Watch What Happens Live reunion in January, Jenna Lyons, 56, admitted she hadn’t spoken to Brynn in a while. Although she acknowledged that Brynn sometimes “stretches the truth,” she agreed that this time, the situation went too far.
As for Erin Lichy, 37, she seems ready for a shift in the dynamic. In a recent interview, she shared, “I think the show could use some new blood,” further fueling the possibility of new cast members joining the drama.
Despite a somewhat amicable reunion for Brynn and Ubah, it’s clear that RHONY is at a crossroads. The cast dynamic might be on the brink of change, with old rivalries lingering and fresh faces on the horizon. Could these changes be the shake-up the series needs to reclaim its spot as one of the juiciest shows in the Real Housewives franchise?
With casting calls already underway, the apple may soon fall into some very new hands.
