It seems like Andy Cohen might have spoken out of turn. Earlier this week, the Bravo executive responded to a fan bemoaning the lackluster season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey by suggesting that viewers may see “all fresh faces” when season 15 airs. The comment sent fans into a frenzy, but now he is walking back those comments.

Andy Cohen suggests a new cast for ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ could be coming

Earlier this week, Andy Cohen used his Sirius XM show to take fan questions about The Real Housewives of New Jersey. One fan, fed up with how season 14 has played out, questioned Cohen about his plans for the installment’s future.

The seasoned network executive was ready with an answer. He insisted that something big will be changing moving forward, and even suggested a complete rebranding of the series could be in the works. He said fans might see all “fresh faces” when season 15 inevitably makes it to air.

Cohen’s comments sent The Real Housewives of New Jersey fans into a frenzy. Fans were quick to run to social media to discuss the reboot. They weighed in on what they could expect to see in an upcoming season. All that discussion might have been for naught. On Wednesday, July 31, Cohen walked back his comments about “all fresh faces” on the upcoming season.

In a more recent Sirius XM appearance, Cohen insisted that no decision about the future of The Real Housewives of New Jersey had been made yet. He said he was just “riffing” when he commented about seeing “all fresh faces.” Cohen did not say whether or not that is something he’d like to see, though. He also made it clear that something will be changing.

Fans of the beloved Real Housewives installment remain divided about a potential reboot. While some fans think the cast needs to be wiped completely clean, other viewers say they have grown attached to the housewives and would like to see some of the current cast continue with the show.

It doesn’t seem like anyone will leave willingly, so if some stars are dropped, it will be the network’s choice. Teresa Giudice, the last remaining original cast member, recently said she has no plans to leave the series until Bravo tells her to.
