Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ) fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the next season, but according to Andy Cohen, they’ll have to keep waiting — and possibly for much longer than they anticipated. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Cohen revealed that RHONJ will not be returning until at least early 2026, sending fans into a frenzy.
When asked about the status of the beloved franchise, Andy Cohen made it clear that the Garden State is taking a longer-than-usual break. He had a blunt message for fans who have been eagerly speculating about the show’s return: “You’re not gonna get it for, like, a year, so everyone stop asking,” he said, adding, “And I keep saying you are going to get nothing, so stop asking!”
While fans might have hoped for an earlier return to the drama, Andy Cohen’s remarks indicate that the Real Housewives of New Jersey team is taking their time. With the hiatus likely extending into 2026, it seems the franchise is slowing things down for the time being.
Fans are left wondering why such a long break, but Cohen’s comments suggest that there’s a lot of behind-the-scenes planning going on. Given the success and popularity of RHONJ, it’s clear that the show’s return is being carefully crafted to deliver the most exciting and entertaining season possible.
Thoughts on the RHONJ pause?
