It’s been what seems like an eternity, but the Real Housewives of New Jersey is finally set to return to our screens, as Bravo TV just announced on March 24, 2026 that the franchise is returning to filming this spring. After what ended in a full-on debacle at Rails Steakhouse in 2024, which left viewers unsure about the show’s future, a lot has happened in the RHONJ universe. So we’re taking a little trip down memory lane to catch up on everything that’s gone down since. (If you’re looking for a refresher on past seasons, don’t forget to check out our guide to RHONJ landmarks, too.)

The announcement came Tuesday March 24th in the afternoon, right after Marge shared a heartfelt note about being put on pause moving on from the show.
And might we also recommend a rewatch of Seasons 1-3 just for nostalgia’s sake, because ‘Wakin’ up in the Morning is forever in our hearts (and Lu Nello in our bellies).
