Leah Remini is headed to Beverly Hills.
The actress and television personality is joining the cast of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” for Season 16, according to TMZ.
The casting marks a major addition to the Bravo reality series and puts one of television’s most recognizable personalities in the middle of the franchise’s latest season.
Remini is perhaps best known for playing Carrie Heffernan on the hit sitcom “The King of Queens,” which ran for nine seasons from 1998 to 2007. She was also on “Saved by the Bell.”
She has also appeared in numerous television projects throughout her career and is known for her outspoken personality.
Now, she is taking that direct approach into the Housewives world.
Fans Can’t Wait to See Her on Bravo
News of Remini’s casting quickly sent fans into a frenzy, with viewers predicting that she will have no problem speaking her mind when the drama begins.
“Not Saved by the Bell icon! 😂” one person wrote.
“Ooooooh! She is going to cuss folks out! I love her,” another fan commented.
“LETS GO CARRIE HEFFERNAN ON MY TV AGAIN!!!!” another wrote.
“OMG MY KING OF QUEENS PRINCESS,” a fan added.
“This should be funn,” another person commented.
“Oh thank God we need someone like her,” another fan wrote.
One viewer described Remini as “outspoken, bold, fiercely direct and witty,” adding, “She will shake them all. Great casting.”
Another fan predicted, “Ohhhh she’s about to put some of these ladies in their place!!”
Remini joins the Beverly Hills cast as Bravo continues to bring new personalities into the franchise.
Tracy Tudor Is Also Joining the Cast
“Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Tracy Tutor has also been announced as a new addition to the upcoming season.
Tutor confirmed her casting on Instagram, sharing her excitement about joining the long-running reality series.
“Well… the secret’s officially out,” Tutor wrote. “I’m joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I could not be more excited for this next chapter.”
Tutor explained that Beverly Hills has been an important part of her life, saying, “Beverly Hills is home. I’ve raised my girls here, built my career here, and now apparently I’ve decided to let you all even further into my life.”
She admitted that she was excited and a little nervous about stepping into the franchise.
“Excited? Very. Nervous? A little. Likely to get into some trouble? Absolutely,” Tutor wrote.
She ended her announcement with a blunt message to her followers: “So what’s left to say but, Let’s fucking go.”
Remini’s addition gives “RHOBH” another well-known television personality with a career outside reality television. Her previous work has included acting, hosting and documentary projects, while Tutor arrives from the real estate-focused world of “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.”
The casting news also gives longtime “RHOBH” viewers another reason to anticipate Season 16. Remini’s television experience and outspoken reputation are likely to make her one of the most closely watched newcomers when the new season premieres.
