The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 Cast: In exciting news for fans of “TRHONJ,” both Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga will be returning for Season 14 of the Bravo show. Both women have been given contracts to return for the new season despite their rocky relationship and prior declarations that they never wanted to see each other again.
Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Rachel Fuda, and Danielle Cabral have also received invitations to come back, in addition to them. As “Friends Of” the Housewives, Jennifer Fessler, and Jackie Goldschneider will remain.
Although Bravo has not officially confirmed the cast, it is quite likely that this will be the line-up given filming is scheduled to start in August. Given their recent intense arguments and Teresa’s prior position, it is unclear how Teresa and Melissa will handle another season of their relationship. Tensions between the two were particularly high during the reunion segment.
While there were reports that the show might be suspended while everyone calmed down, Andy Cohen stressed that it was not as big of a concern as it appeared. Despite the controversies, Season 13’s numbers were strong, with a 10% rise in total viewers from the season before. The network also set a new record with the reunion episode.
The choice to bring back the same ensemble appears to have paid off in terms of viewer engagement, despite the fact that some may have anticipated a cast shakeup. Fans’ reactions to the same cast’s return could differ, so it will be interesting to see how the future season plays out.
