Andy Cohen shares some thoughts about the show’s legacy 

While talking to Deadline, the executive producer talked about the legacy of the show, saying, 

“I think we’ll always be in business with the OGs from RHONY. I think you see Luann pop up on a lot of shows. Dorinda has a show on Radio Andy. They’re always going to be part of the Bravo family.”

Andy Cohen also denied any such rumours about The Real Housewives of New York City undergoing an alleged cast shakeup, as he told Deadline, 

“I don’t know where that came from.”

The Real Housewives of New York City alum Jesse Taank has also shared a few insights about what is in store for fans and what to expect from the upcoming new season.

The television personality said to E! News:

“They’ve never done anything like this before. Sometimes they’re going to get it right on the first try. Sometimes they won’t,” the fashion editor explained. “It’s really a balance of personalities. You can never predict how that’s going to unfold.”

Jessel admitted that she would like the upcoming season to be a bit more "whimsical and also empowering."

“I really want to show the true DNA of New York, fashion, a little bit of drama woven in there. But a window into six women’s lives that are doing it all. We had really big shoes to fill. They really procured a very strong fan base. So, all of a sudden, just erase that from memory, and then like, say, ‘Oh, we’re gonna try something new, But I genuinely believe that we are the girls to do it, and that the network is making the right move.” 

The fashion publicist joined the RHONY reboot for seasons 14 and 15.
