Kathleen French, Senior Vice President for Current Production at Bravo recently shared new casting details about the upcoming thirteen season of The Real Housewives of Orange County. "There will be new faces on Orange County and I'm going to leave it at that," French told Megan Segura and Rachael Roberts, hosts of Bravo's The Daily Dish podcast.

"We always want to keep the shows fresh and we always want to introduce new friends," she explained. French revealed they find their new 'Wives by checking out the returning Housewives' already-established circle of friends: "[We] always look for people who are organic to the group."

She elaborated, "So the question when starting the next season is, 'What are you doing now?' 'Who are you hanging with?' 'Anyone new in your life?' ... And that's really where we'll always look first."

What's the most important quality French and her team look for when talking to possible new 'Wives? "You have to be ready, willing, and able to live your life in front of the camera."

Meanwhile, it's been rumored that one of the newbies is Gina Kirschenheiter. Our good friends over Real Housewives 101 revealed that Gina is friends with Tamra Judge.

I can officially confirm that Gina Kirschenheiter has signed on as a #RHOC newbie. As for if any other newbies will be joining her, there is one girl finalizing a contract. Filming starts this week... #RHOC🍊 pic.twitter.com/Grulyzu2cW
