The Real Housewives Of New York City Returns To Bravo For Season 9 On April 5th — Watch The Official Trailer, Cast Bios And Photos HERE!

The wait is finally over! The Real Housewives of New York City are back for season nine which premieres on Bravo on Wednesday, April 5 at 9pm/8c! Returning are Bethenny Frankel, Carole Radziwill, Dorinda Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan are joined by new housewife Tinsley Mortimer. Original cast member Jill Zarin will also be making an appearance during the season — this will be her first since leaving the show at the end of season 4. And it appears she’s just as opinionated as ever.

Season 9 has it all, including more doubts about Luann de Lesseps' relationship with her then-fiancé, Tom D'Agostino, whom she married on New Year's Eve following a cheating controversy last season. "People are still taking bets if the wedding is going to be on or not," Ramona tells Luann — much to her chagrin.

But she's not the only one who is voicing her reservations. With tears in her eyes, Bethenny Frankel also makes a confession to Luann: "In my heart I feel like you're making a big mistake. I think he's cheating on you."

We'll also meet the newest member of the RHONY crew, Tinsley Mortimer, who is Sonja Morgan's house guest, this spring. "She had the whole world at her fingertips and kind of crashed and burned," Bethenny shares about the famed NYC socialite.

But it's not all drama. The women embark on a tropical vacay filled with tequila, fireworks, and skinny dipping. Oh, and Bethenny and Sonja share a kiss after the Skinnygirl mogul is dubbed "pretty f***ing hot."

There will also be a endless chain of sassy exchanges. For instance, Sonja tells the crew, "You girls are f***ing jealous bitches." And then there's this bit of shade being thrown by Dorinda Medley to Ramona: "Why don't you put an E-ZPass on that vagina with your Holland Tunnel?" Check out the official Season 9 trailer, cast bios and photos below!

Natural foods chef, best-selling author, reality TV star, self-made businesswoman, and mom Bethenny Frankel first came to national attention with her wit, wisdom and humor when she was named first runner-up on NBC's The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. Her success on the series led her to Bravo's The Real Housewives of New York City for three seasons, as well as two spin-off series on the network, Bethenny Getting Married? and Bethenny Ever After…. After a three-season hiatus, Bethenny made her highly anticipated return for season seven of The Real Housewives of New York City.

Some of the many Skinnygirl products are Sparklers non-alcoholic beverages, candy, microwave popcorn, luncheon meats, coffee and teas, salad dressings, liquid sweeteners and water enhancers, shapewear, and appliances. In 2013, Frankel brought her distinct voice and candid point of view to daytime television on Bethenny, her nationally syndicated daytime talk program, and she has been named one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Celebrities by Forbes magazine.

Carole Radziwill
Best-selling author and award-winning journalist Carole Radziwill grew up in upstate New York. She moved to New York City to attend college, earning a B.A. at Hunter College and a masters degree at New York University. In 1988, she landed an internship at ABC News. It was the start of a long and rewarding career. Carole's work with Peter Jennings' documentary unit and the news magazine shows Primetime Live and 20/20 garnered her three Emmy Awards, a Robert F. Kennedy Humanitarian Award, and a GLAAD Award. Carole has traveled all over the world for her work, reporting on stories from places like Cambodia, India, and the Middle East. She was assigned to Israel in 1991 to cover the first Gulf War. In 2001, during the Afghanistan War, she spent a month embedded in the 101st Airborne Division in Kandahar. While there, she filmed for the ABC docuseries Profiles from the Front Line.

In 2003, Carole left ABC News to write her first book, What Remains: A Memoir of Fate, Friendship and Love. It is a moving account of her life, her marriage to fellow ABC News producer Anthony Radziwill, and their heartbreaking battle with cancer.

Dorinda Medley
Born in the Berkshires in Massachusetts, Dorinda graduated from college and arrived in New York City, working in the showrooms of Liz Claiborne. She met her first husband and followed him to London to start a family and eventually her own cashmere company, DCL Cashmere. Many high-profile London clients like Princess Diana and Joan Collins became acquaintances, and soon, Dorinda left her mark on London society. Ten years in London also brought her a daughter, Hannah, a divorce, and a wish to return to New York to figure out life in the city as a single mom. In 2005, Dorinda met and married financier Dr. Richard Medley, a former Washington power broker and respected speechwriter to congresswoman and vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro, and together they worked on fund-raising for charitable causes with the likes of Bishop Desmond Tutu, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Secretary Madeline Albright, and President Bill and Secretary Hillary Clinton.

After the tragic loss of their beloved Richard in 2011, Dorinda and Hannah found strength in each other and in their loved ones to overcome the radical changes of losing a husband, friend, companion, and father figure. Through perseverance and support from her close friends, Dorinda climbed right back to the top of New York society, eventually meeting boyfriend John Mahdessian, owner of New York's legendary couture restoration house Madame Paulette. Dorinda is always directing her energy and focus into her home, her family, her friends, her favorite charitable organizations like BeautyforFreedom.org, her Twitter, and her love for pop culture. Dorinda's passion for entertaining was also deeply enhanced with the purchase of Blue Stone Manor, an 11-bedroom estate in her native Great Barrington. Nothing gives Dorinda more pleasure than a weekend or holiday spent with great company, home-cooked meals, and the festive, personal touches she is known for. She enjoys the theater, the beach, the mountains, fabulous parties, a great dirty martini, and all types of fashion—both high-end and high-street—and considers all of her pieces collector's items. There's never enough glitz, glam and sparkle for this true New York City Housewife.

Sonja Morgan
Sonja Morgan is a fixture of New York City society. She got her start modeling in Paris and Milan and studying marketing at the Fashion Institute of Technology, representing high-end luxury brands while keeping her Berkshire-bred sensibilities and values. Sonja used her business acumen and social skills—along with rock-and-rollers, royalty, and the power set—to launch several award-winning luxury fashion brands and successful hot spots across the country. Sonja captured America's attention with her groundbreaking toaster oven recipes, which inspired the all-encompassing international fashion lifestyle brand she wishes to grow globally with her partners. She launched the Sonja Morgan New York sportswear, ready-to-wear, evening gown, swimwear, and fine jewelry collection—which is now available at www.sonjamorgannewyork.com—during New York Fall Fashion Week 2015.

In October 2016 she made her Off-Broadway acting debut in Sex Tips for Straight Women from a Gay Man, in which Sonja was able to play her alter-ego in the character of a sexually repressed teacher while still incorporating her signature bawdy, sexy sense of humor that viewers know her for. Sonja's motto remains "Live each day as if you have nothing to lose and everything to gain."

Tinsley Mortimer
Tinsley Randolph Mercer Mortimer joins The Real Housewives of New York City this season with a touch of Southern charm and a whole lot of socialite glamour. Tinsley hails from Virginia and spent her childhood years growing up at Graymont, the Mercer family house in Richmond, Virginia. She then attended boarding school at the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, where she met her first husband, Topper Mortimer. Together, the high school sweethearts moved to New York City, where Tinsley attended Columbia University and graduated with a degree in art history. As soon as Tinsley landed in New York, her blonde hair, Southern belle charm, and personal branding abilities propelled her into high society. After working at Vogue, she transitioned to a career in public relations. Always an entrepreneur at heart, Tinsley built a successful personal brand that was launched with a line of handbags, Samantha Thavasa by Tinsley Mortimer, and then a clothing collection, Riccimie by Tinsley Mortimer, which was sold exclusively in Japan. Tinsley then became the beauty ambassador for the iconic French fashion design house of Christian Dior and helped to create a lip gloss coined Tinsley Pink.

Tinsley made her TV debut in the season premiere of Gossip Girl and launched a tabletop collection, but when her marriage with Topper came to a devastating end, she decided to take a sabbatical from the fast-paced and overwhelming lifestyle that she created for herself in New York City. A respite in Palm Beach gave her time to reflect on her accomplishments, and in late 2016, after much consideration and encouraged by friend Sonja Morgan, Tinsley decided to move back to New York City. She is thrilled to reenter the New York social scene alongside her friends and begin the next chapter of her life. Tinsley is here to prove that there is more to her than meets the eye.
