Filming for the next season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey is already underway, a source told Us Weekly. The insider added that there “may be some new faces joining the cast” for season 12 as well.
Meanwhile, other sources share new casting details for the show’s upcoming new season.
According to HollywoodLife, “there is one new lady who will be filming, and Dolores [Catania] knows her. But it’s too soon to know whether she’ll be full-time or not.”
Dolores Catania, Jackie Goldschneider, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, and Teresa Giudice are all returning to the series, which began filming this week.
Sources also reveal that Jennifer is not speaking with most of the cast following Season 11 reunion drama. Insider added that “a few of them are surprised that Jennifer Aydin was asked to return,” the source told HollywoodLife. “After the reunion, Jackie, Margaret and Melissa were none too pleased to find that out, as they are not particularly friends with her right now. They are not looking forward to filming with her and haven’t seen or spoken to her since the reunion.”
While there’s a lot of drama involving Jennifer with most of the cast, Dolores is doing her best to try to mend the gaps between all of the ladies. “Dolores is the peace maker and is friends with everybody so she’s tried to help fix things but it hasn’t worked,” our source said. “This is where the drama will be picking up.
Apparently, the drama seems to be spilling over between the men, too, as Joe Gorga left Bill Aydin out of an upcoming event.”
