The wait is nearly over for Bravo fans clamoring for the return of The Real Housewives of Atlanta! Nearly a year and a half after the series wrapped for season 15, it's slated to return for 16 season in March — this time with a rebooted cast featuring the return of longtime cast members Porsha Williams and Phaedra Parks as Housewives and Cynthia Bailey as a Friend.

Porsha Williams returns, Shamea Morton Mwangi grabs her peach, and Phaedra Parks is back—season 16 of RHOA ushers in a new era.

After its well-received, highly rated 18th season on Bravo, which concluded in November, “The Real Housewives of Orange County” will once again add Gretchen Rossi to its ranks - she will appear as a “friend” of the cast.

The "Real Housewives of Atlanta," everyone's favorite guilty pleasure and hot mess to watch, will premiere a new season next month featuring familiar faces and new cast members. Why it matters: Don't act like y'all don't watch — or aren't at least curious about — the show that's become an Atlanta cultural phenomenon.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta will enter a new era when its sweet season 16 premieres with a supersized episode on Sunday, March 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes will be available to stream next day on Peacock.
