Bravo Officially Announces Return Of RHONJ — Season 7 Cast Includes Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga And Jacqueline Laurita!

Today, Bravo officially confirmed the return of The Real Housewives of New Jersey for 2016. Season 7 will include Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga, and will welcome Jacqueline Laurita back to the crew.

"We're back! This season for me is all about family, fun, friendships and fashion," Melissa said in a statement to The Daily Dish. "I can't wait for you to see what we've been up to and how much our kids have grown."

"I'm baaaaack! I can't get enough of my Bravo family!" Jacqueline added, after taking a full-time hiatus from the show last season. "Sometimes a little break is all I need to jump back in and bring my best! Looking forward to new beginnings. XOXO."

"I am very excited to be back," Teresa told The Daily Dish. "For me, this season is all about letting go of the past and embracing the future. People are calling me Teresa 2.0."

Season 7 will pick up nearly two years after Season 6 wrapped in November 2014, and will follow Teresa as she mends the relationships in her life following her release from prison in December 2015.

Teresa is trying to repair her relationships with her sister-in-law Melissa and brother Joe Gorga, while also preparing for her husband, Joe Giudice, to begin his own jail term in late March. Meanwhile, Jacqueline is hoping to fix the once-tight relationship she had with Teresa, while also focusing on her duties as a mom to her three kids, including her autistic son, Nicholas.

As of now, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Jacqueline Laurita are the only confirmed cast members for Season 7.

We previously reported that rumored RHONJ newbies consist of Dolores Catania, Siggy Flicker and lesbian couple Christina Flores And Robyn Levy. The new season is expected to air later this year.
