Teresa Giudice may not be holding a full-time spot on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” next season, but Bravo isn’t done with her just yet. According to insiders, the reality star has several projects in the works — including spinoffs and crossover shows — that keep her firmly in the Bravo spotlight.
The scheduling challenge? According to an insider who spoke to Bravo and Cocktails—her daughters. With two away at school and Gia Giudice set to begin filming “Next Gen NYC” season 2, producers are waiting for the right timing to launch Teresa’s next big venture.
Teresa Giudice’s Bravo Future Includes Spinoffs And Crossovers
A Bravo insider revealed that the network plans to feature Giudice more prominently in the second season of “Next Gen NYC,” introducing her to a younger fan base. A potential spinoff is expected to begin filming in summer 2026, when Gia’s filming schedule slows down and Teresa’s daughters are back home from college.
In addition, Giudice is being eyed for a crossover-style series that would unite housewives from multiple cities. According to leaks, Bravo may announce an “Ultimate Girls Trip”–inspired project at BravoCon, featuring Giudice alongside Meredith Marks, Kandi Burruss, Kim Zolciak, Adrienne Maloof, Heather Dubrow, Kyle Richards, and Larsa Pippen.
Although Giudice reportedly will not appear on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” season 15, the insider claims that producers want to announce her next project alongside casting updates for Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, and Margaret Josephs — a nod to Giudice’s 14 years on the franchise.
The OG Says RHONJ ‘Wouldn’t Be the Same Without Me’
In a September interview with TooFab, ahead of her appearance on “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” with Gia, Giudice admitted the fate of RHONJ is out of her hands. “I’m glad everyone’s so excited about New Jersey coming back. So I hope it does come back,” she said. “And, we won’t know until Bravo makes that decision.”
The self-proclaimed OG wasn’t shy about her importance to the series. “Hello, I’m the OG, so I think it wouldn’t be the same without me,” she told TooFab. Giudice also urged fans to make their voices heard if they want her to stay.
Meanwhile, Us Weekly reported that Bravo has already test-filmed with potential new housewives in mid-August. Sources confirmed Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, and Melissa Gorga filmed scenes with newcomers, including Michelle Barone, host of the “Michelle Barone RED” podcast. While Giudice, Jackie Goldschneider, and Jen Fessler did not participate, insiders stressed they are “still in consideration.”
As one source explained, “They want to see how the new girls work on camera with some veteran cast members.” A Bravo spokesperson added, “No official casting decisions have been made.”
