The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson, The Real Housewives of New York City’s Luann de Lesseps, The Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Porsha Williams, The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Teresa Giudice, The Real Houseewives of Beverly Hills’ Kyle Richards, The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s Lisa Barlow will be part of the star-studded crew.

The reality TV star, 58, was part of season 1 in 2008 with original cast members Kim Zolciak, DeShawn Snow, Shereé Whitfield and Lisa Wu-Hartwell. NeNe ultimately left the franchise in 2020.
“She’s gonna be making an appearance,” Andy told listeners on his SiriusXM Radio Andy broadcast. “When we go to Atlanta, she’s going [to] be there. People are happy about it. We are going to be celebrating 20 years of Housewives, and it would be hard without her. I’m happy about it.”

When it comes to the full cast, Andy hinted that much more will be revealed sooner rather than later.
“There will be, in total, I think you may wind up by the end of the series seeing 60 of your Housewives friends,” he teased. “Something like that.”
Andy first announced in November 2025 at BravoCon that a new show first called The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip would be coming to the network in the new year.
"In this special event series, a group of beloved Housewives from across the years embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, making their way through some of the most memorable locations in the franchise's history,” Bravo shared in its original announcement. “Starting where it all began in Orange County and culminating in an epic East Coast grand finale, each stop will feature appearances by fan favorites from different cities to pay tribute to the past, embrace the present and look toward the many miles still ahead."
The announcement concluded, "Along the way, viewers can expect nostalgic reunions, heartfelt revelations, effortless humor and the larger-than-life dynamics that only Housewives can deliver."

The Real Housewives of Orange County was the first show in the franchise to premiere all the way back in 2006. Since then, the series has expanded to various locales, including Miami, New Jersey, Beverly Hills, Salt Lake City, Potomac, Dubai, New York City and more.
Along the way, the shows have provided countless memes, memorable quotes — “Who gon' check me, boo?” — and big personalities.
“For two decades, The Real Housewives has amplified women’s voices, spotlighted their ambition, humor and strength, inspiring millions with their unapologetic authenticity,” Frances Berwick, chairman of Bravo and Peacock Unscripted, said in a statement. “The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip is a love letter to the women who turned a reality television show into a cultural phenomenon — and the fans who’ve been there for every laugh, gasp, toast and table turn.”
