It's been reported that the network plans to reveal the complete main cast group photo, which will include the two rumored newbies Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter and a later date. I'm guessing when the network releases the trailer.

So what can we expect from Season 13? As we previously reported, 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— 🌸 (@ReedwiththeRead) May 4, 2018
Also expected this season is Kelly Dodd and Shannon Beador's divorces, Tamra Judge broke her foot, Gunvalson and Dodd feud over setting up her ex-husband on a date and apparently the two new newbies will be going at it. Also, the cast was spotted filming their cast trip at the Bahamas.

Kelly also revealed during an Instagram Live session on May 23, that the Season 13 trailer will be released next Tuesday, May 29 and labeled the new season as "amazing."
