While it hasn't been confirmed when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH) will be returning to our screens, some information has been released about the upcoming 14th season.
The Bravo reality television series follows the lives of affluent women who live in or near Beverly Hills, California. Having first started airing in 2010, over the years it has gained an incredibly loyal following.
Season 13 of RHOBH finished airing on Bravo on March 13, 2024, and now fans are eager to get their hands on tidbits about the next season, which is currently in production. This is everything we know so far.
A New Housewife
Season 13 followed the lives of Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Garcelle Beauvais, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Sutton Stracke and Annemarie Wiley, but only five of these women will be returning—and there will be one new addition.
As confirmed last month by Bravo in a post to X, formerly Twitter, Richards will be back for the next season of the hit reality series. As one of the original RHOBH housewives, she's the longest-running cast member.
Jayne will also return to the show, making this her ninth season. Kemsley first appeared in season 7 and will be back for season 14. There is chatter amongst fans as to whether her breakup with her husband Paul Kemsley will be a core part of the show.
After arriving in season 10, Beauvais quickly became a fan favorite. She will be returning alongside Stracke, who first joined the show as a "friend" in season 10, who then became a main cast member in season 11.
The new cast member who will eventually be on viewers' screens is Bozoma "Boz" Saint John, a businesswoman who was a former chief marketing officer of Netflix.
Richards shared her thoughts on Saint John during an Amazon Live stream on June 4. "Obviously [the season is] new and we've just started, but she's great," Richards said. "She's great for the show and I think that you're all gonna really like her a lot. She's extra fabulous for sure."
It's hard to outrun rumors, but luckily we don't have to. Introducing the cast of #RHOBH Season 14:

Speaking with Access Hollywood last month, Kathy Hilton—who is returning as a "friend" of the show —said she was "intrigued" by Saint John.
"I was very intrigued by [her]. I'd never met Boz, and she is something else. I've watched her face and at times she's looking at all of us like we're crazy, you know? So I said, 'We're worried that you're not coming back,' and so she was funny, she said, 'I went into the ladies room, and I was looking for a window to try to escape!'" Hilton, Richards' sister, said. "I think she's intrigued. She's used to dealing with powerful men and women in business, so to see our cast of characters, it's a whole new world for her."
Meanwhile, Stracke's friend Jennifer Tilly will also be joining as another "friend" of the show.
Departing Housewives
Taking to Instagram on April 15, Kung Minkoff revealed that she wouldn't be returning for Season 14.
"I just wanted to share the news that I will not be coming back to film Season 14 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she said in a video she posted to the social media platform.
"It's very bittersweet. Never did I think I would've been asked to do this show in a million years — let alone film it for three seasons. Every single year I was asked back I—it was a blessing, it was, um, an honor, uh, being the first Asian American on Beverly Hills uh was a lot of weight on my shoulders that I have since, just, I have really understood the magnitude of what that meant for people."
After just one season on the show, Bravo didn't renew Wiley's contract. She previously took to her Instagram stories to express her disappointment.
"I just got word today that I will not be returning to 'The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.' To say that I'm disappointed is an understatement," part of Wiley's post read. "I never auditioned for this show. The show found me and asked me to be on it out of the blue 6 weeks after the cast had already started filming. I was thrown into filming 2 weeks later, mid season."
She added: "Listening to what I was instructed to do was my rookie mistake. What I am disappointed about is that the fans never got to see the real me or even a glimpse of my unique story."
While an air date is yet to be confirmed, a Bravo spokesperson told Newsweek that production started in May and "we are slated to premiere later this year."
