One way or another, Season 16 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta is going to happen. Right now, the details about it are pretty scarce. The only confirmed peaches are Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams. That’s not nearly enough Housewives, but cameras are reportedly getting ready to start rolling.
Although there are no other casting confirmations, the word on the street is that they’re filming starts this summer. The news came via Jasmine Brand, who reported that the production could kick off as soon as next month. They also got the scoop on a few newbies who might be joining the ranks when cameras start rolling.
Atlanta heats up this summer
Since Bravo announced Kenya and Porsha as the veteran cast members returning for Season 16, it’s clear that they are probably going to be the anchors of the cast. There’s also a slight chance that Shereé Whitfield could return to bring a bit of the original RHOA essence into this new era. Ever since Season 15 wrapped, she’s made it very clear that she wants to come back to the show.
Earlier this month, one of RHOA’s producers, Peta Phipps, teased that the Season 16 lineup would consist of a handful of new faces. She called it an “eclectic mix” and confirmed that the ink was drying on the new peaches’ contracts.
With that in mind, some rumors suggest that the new RHOA cast members wouldn’t necessarily be fresh faces in pop culture. For example, some of the names that have been tossed around include beautify influencer, Ming Lee. Another name floated was Keyshia Ka’Oir, the wife of rapper Gucci Mane.
Admittedly, Kenya and Porsha two could probably hold the fort on their own. Porsha has enough drama with her divorce from Simon Guobadia to fill an entire season. However, Bravo is seemingly moving forward with their plan for a slight reboot, in the style of Real Housewives of Miami.
Once the cameras go up this summer, it’s only a matter of time before the cast is spotted out and about in Atlanta. That means we might find out about the new RHOA cast from Atlanta locals before Bravo officially announces it. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled.
