Start spreading the news because The Real Housewives of New York City returns this fall.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

On Tuesday, October 1, Bravo viewers will be reunited with the chic, Manhattan residents and Brooklyn-ites, as RHONY returns for Season 15. In addition to the returning cast members, viewers will get to meet new friend, fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff.

Who is The Real Housewives of New York City's new friend, Rebecca Minkoff?

Viewers won't be able to see Rebecca in action until RHONY premieres later this fall. But, you can learn more about the fashion designer who created her "global accessible luxury fashion brand" nearly twenty years ago right now.

Per the press release for RHONY Season 15, Rebecca "is a best-selling author and powerhouse entrepreneur who has paved the way for many and is the co-founder of the Female Founder Collective. Rebecca is dedicated to creating the modern cultural and business narrative of togetherness and a shared success. She continues to push boundaries, lead the fashion industry, and galvanize communities of women by promoting confidence, fearlessness and authenticity. She is a loving wife and devoted mother of four."

However, according to the press release, the mom of four might have some trouble fitting in with the rest of the group. "Rebecca's reputation precedes her," the release continues. "But will impressing this new group of friends prove more difficult than creating a $100 million dollar brand?"

Who is in The Real Housewives of New York Season 15 cast?

Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield are all returning for RHONY Season 15. Art curator and model, Racquel Chevremont, will join the cast as a housewife for her debut season. Rebecca will round out the cast as a friend to the housewives.

What to Expect from RHONY Season 15

According to a press release for the new season, the "flourishing group of friends" will be joined by "elite new faces" Racquel and Rebecca. "But things can change in a New York minute when rumors start spreading among the ladies and only time will tell if longstanding loyalties are strong enough to weather the storm as secrets shake things up. "

Brace yourselves.
