A new era of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” begins tonight.
Season 16 of the long-running Bravo series will begin, for the first time since Season 2, without Kandi Burruss. She announced that she’d be leaving the show after 14 seasons at the 2024 Grammys, just months after it was announced that Bravo was exploring rebooting the series with a primarily new cast.
The seven-person cast will consist of some returning favorites, like Porsha Williams and Phaedra Parks, and some brand-new faces.

Seven women will make up the cast of Season 16, and of them, three are brand new to the franchise. Brit Eady, Kelli Ferrell, and Angela Oakley will make their “RHOA” debuts with tonight’s episode. Shamea Morton Mwangi, who has appeared as a guest and “friend of” over the years, has been promoted to a full-time housewife.
Drew Sidora is back as the only housewife actually carrying over from Season 15. The other two returnees are Porsha Williams, who last appeared in Season 13, and Phaedra Parks, who is returning after a nine-year break and a stint on “Married to Medicine.”
Cynthia Bailey will serve as a “friend of” the housewives, while former friend Monyetta Shaw-Carter will be featured as a guest this season.
Following a scandal that left her suspended from the series, Kenya Moore will appear in a guest capacity this season.

Bravo has not confirmed an episode count for “RHOA” Season 16 yet; the last three seasons to air had between 18 and 21 episodes per season, so it’s likely Season 16 will have a similar episode count.
