Bravo Officially Confirms Kelly Dodd, Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge And Vicki Gunvalson’s RHOC Return For Season 13!

Bravo has officially confirmed that Kelly Dodd, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador and Vicki Gunvalso will return to The Real Housewives of Orange County's upcoming thirteenth season. So what can we expect from the new season?

Kathleen French, Senior Vice President for Current Production at Bravo recently shared new casting details about the upcoming new season. "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."

Kelly Dodd recently appeared on Jeff Lewis’s Sirius XM show, Jeff Lewis Live and teased what fans can expect in Season 13, revealing that it will be quite different from the previous ones.

“I think this season is a little bit different than previous seasons ever because it is like full on comedy. It is like a party. It’s hysterical,” teased Kelly. “There really isn’t that much fighting. I love it. I can’t wait for everybody to watch because it’s different.”

Kelly flat-out confirmed today that this upcoming season of #RHOC doesn’t have a lot of drama, which is what we watch for, right? Nonetheless, I’m still excited because they’ve always been m’faves and she guaranteed that there will be a lot of comedy. 🍊☕️ pic.twitter.com/AgkO9RCLBe
