A new and very fabulous face is joining the season 15 cast of RHONY! Designer Rebecca Minkoff is reportedly filming for the upcoming season of the New York Housewives franchise. Get the deets!
Rebecca Minkoff will be the new face on the block when RHONY returns for season 15 later this year.
Multiple outlets including PEOPLE and Deadline have reported that the fashion designer has been filming for season 15 of the Real Housewives of New York.
A source close to production tells PEOPLE that the 42-year-old “will appear in a Friend capacity on the rebooted reality series.”
Yet, a source tells Deadline that there is a chance Rebecca Minkoff could be holding an apple by the time season 15 debuts later this year.
The fashion designer, who co-owns the Rebecca Minkoff brand with her brother, Uri Minkoff, is no stranger to Bravo as she’s appeared as a guest judge on Project Runway. She’s also appeared on E!’s So Cosmo and Lifetime’s Project Runway: Fashion Startup.
It seems that the news of Rebecca’s involvement with the Real Housewives of New York is already causing some anxiety and worry in the Bravoverse as she is a longtime Scientologist with many prominent friends in the controversial church, per Page Six.
Bravo recently announced that the entire season 14 cast of RHONY, including stars Jessel Taank, Jenna Lyons, Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, and Brynn Whitfield would all be returning for the new season.
Production for season 15 of RHONY recently commenced as last week the Bravo cameras were caught filming a lunch between Jenna Lyons and an unidentified member of the cast.
Meanwhile, New York Housewife Jessel Taank recently told PEOPLE that the cast is planning to really amp up the drama for season 15.
“We’re all excited to come back and have a better understanding of how [filming] works,” the fashion publicist said earlier this month.
“We love it so much, and we love entertaining. We’re gonna come back with a vengeance,” she vowed. “It’s been a long time coming.”
Bravo rebooted the New York Housewives franchise for its fourteenth season after the series hit a ratings low during season 13. The current RHONY cast made their Bravo debut for season 14 last summer after the series was put on a two-year hiatus.
The reboot was mildly successful, with fans split on the cast—some still long for the OGs, while others enjoy the freshness the new cast brings. Bravo is hoping to strike ratings gold with season 15 and bring back OG viewers to the franchise.
RHONY will return to Bravo for season 15 in late 2024.
