The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s upcoming season will bring the drama — but sans the toxicity that has plagued past seasons.
“There was so much drama the last few years that producers want the OG cast to settle in with the new cast,” a source close to production exclusively shares with Us Weekly. “It has been far less toxic than previous seasons.”
While much of season 15 remains top secret for now, Bravo previously confirmed that Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania and Teresa Giudice would be returning to the reality show.
New, additional faces are expected to be announced by the network at a later date.
“Melissa, Dolores and Teresa are really enjoying the new dynamic, delivering great personal stories and the larger group is bonding over real-life family situations,” the source explains. “The season so far is full of fun, sisterhood, emotion, comedy and drama.”
During season 14, which concluded airing in August 2024, the cast was divided as Melissa and Teresa’s family feud took center stage. After the duo privately reconciled at the end of 2025, sources close to production tell Us that the vibe is lighter on set.
“Melissa, Dolores and Teresa are being very nice and welcoming to the new ladies,” the source shares.
Us has reached out to Bravo for comment.

Last month, Dolores, 55, was asked about her experience filming with Teresa, 54, and Melissa, 47, after their public feud came to an end.
At the time, The Traitors alum said she noticed a palpable, positive difference between the pair.
“I’ve seen them together,” Dolores said on the May 19 episode of SiriusXM’s The John Hill Show. “It seems very peaceful and sincere and I support it and it’s what I’ve always wanted for them.”
Melissa also expressed optimism when she spoke with Us before filming officially started back up.
“I’m excited. I’m actually happy about all the change, everything that’s new,” the Let’s Sprinkle by MG founder explained at the Vulture Reality Masterminds Celebration on May 7. “I’m gonna miss my girls so much, the ones who aren’t coming back, but I love a little freshening up.”
A premiere date for The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 15 has yet to be announced. Fans can catch up on old seasons anytime on Peacock.
