RHOP begins filming for Season 9 at the end of this month with Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Mia Thornton, Karen Huger, and Wendy Osefo returning as full-time Housewives, sources tell TV Deets EXCLUSIVELY.
Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Potomac may have just wrapped airing the Season 8 reunion back on April 14 but the network isn’t planning on leaving those champagne flutes empty for too long as filming on Season 9 is set to begin in full starting next week.
RHOP Season 9: Who’s in, and who’s out?
As previously reported on TVDeets.com, things will look a little different when Potomac eventually returns for Season 9.
In addition to original cast member Robyn Dixon exiting the series, Candiace Dillard Bassett has also confirmed she will not be back while reports have also suggested last year’s newbie Nneka Ihim is out.
While Nneka has yet to announce her exit herself, sources confirm with TV Deets that she was not asked back for RHOP Season 9 and will not be a part of the cast. Keiarna Stewart, who was introduced as a friend of Wendy’s during Season 8, is also not expected to return for Season 9.
With Robyn, Candiace, and Nneka out, that leaves existing Housewives Ashley Darby, Gizelle Bryant, Mia Thornton, Karen Huger, and Wendy Osefo holding down the fort.
With just five Housewives returning, sources confirm EXCLUSIVELY with TV Deets that production is interested in adding new women to the show for Season 9 with a few new faces already filming test scenes with our existing champagne flutes… More on that tea later, though.
TV Deets is THE source for all things Potomac — In addition to being first to reveal Nneka’s casting, I was also first to expose the destination for the cast trip, first to introduce you to Keiarna, and first to reveal the friends of the show were brawling — so be sure to keep it locked on TVDeets.com and my social for all of the latest deets.
The Real Housewives of Potomac will return with Season 9 later this year.
