Fans of The Real Housewives of New Jersey shouldn’t expect a season 15 update anytime soon.
Ahead of Andy Cohen’s Fresca Mixed holiday happy hour at Magic Hour Elephant Lounge on Monday, December 16, Us Weekly asked the Bravo boss when there would be an update on RHONJ (so we could stop asking him for one!).
“You’re not gonna get it for, like, a year, so everyone stop asking,” he told Us. “And I keep saying you are going to get nothing, so stop asking!”
Season 14 of RHONJ, which finished airing in August 2024, starred OG Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda, Danielle Cabrael and “friends” Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler. In addition to sisters-in-law Teresa and Melissa refusing to film together after a decade-long feud, the season was so divided that the reunion was canceled, leaving Dolores as the only cast member who didn’t have issues with anyone on the show.
“I’m a realistic pessimist, so I’m just being very Italian and being like, ‘Ah, it’s over. It’s done.’ But I say that every year,” Dolores told Us last month about what she thinks will happen to RHONJ. “I, every year, thought I was never coming back. That’s just me being, if you want to say humble, if that’s how you want to call it. Or not taking it for granted.”
Cohen previously said that the network and production company is “taking our time” when it comes to planning what’s next.

“We are in no rush. We’re really gratified with what’s on the slate for next year,” Cohen said on his SiriusXM show in November. “[For instance], the new Atlanta, which I’m seven episodes in of watching, it’s outstanding. I’m so excited for people to see this, and they’re going to see it early next year.”
Speaking of the new year, Cohen will ring in 2025 on CNN with BFF Anderson Cooper — and with Fresca Mixed by his side.
“One of the reasons I love Fresca Mixed is not only because I’ve been drinking Fresca with tequila for many years, famously — I think I gave them the idea, but that’s fine — I also love it because it’s easy and they have a ton of flavors,” he said. “Your guests [at a NYE party will] feel totally taken care of and they’re like, ‘Wow, you have mango citrus, you have tequila Paloma.’ And it’s like, ‘Yeah, I have whatever you want!’”
He added, “It’s easy. It tastes great. And your guests will love it.”
