New details have emerged about the casting for the upcoming thirteenth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. “Cynthia [Bailey], Porsha [Williams], Kenya [Moore], Kandi [Burruss] and NeNe [Leakes] were sent contracts to return to the show full-time,” a source told HollywoodLife.
The site also reveals that “Friends” Marlo Hampton and Tanya Sam “have been asked back” in their same roles. “They’re all planning on returning,” the source revealed, noting, “A few of them have signed their contracts already, while a few haven’t yet.”
Earlier this week, Eva Marcille announced her departure from the series after three seasons. So who is replacing Eva?
“Sheree [Whitfield] is seriously being considered to rejoin the cast for season 13,” the insider says.
While there have been rumors that Phaedra Parks is being considered to return to the series, new sources claim otherwise.
“Phaedra [Parks] will not be considered while Kandi is still on the show,” the source told HollywoodLife, adding that producers are “looking into casting at least one [housewife], but would like two other women right now to round out the cast.”
The insider adds that filming on RHOA is scheduled to begin this coming July. And, “Cynthia’s wedding is still on as of right now, and plans are in motion to have a crew there.”
