The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree — and The Real Housewives of New York City is gearing up for another season with a refreshed lineup that blends familiar faces with some notable new additions.
Bravo has officially confirmed the Season 16 cast, and cameras are already rolling. Returning to the fold are Erin Lichy, Jessel Taank, and Sai De Silva — all three of whom have been part of the cast since the franchise’s reboot in Season 14. Joining them are three newcomers: celebrity fitness trainer Erika Hammond, celebrity makeup artist Daisy Toye, and public relations professional Hailey Glassman.
The network teased the announcement on Instagram, writing:
“We’ll be there in a New York minute. Meet the official cast of #RHONY Season 16! Start spreading the news… cameras begin rolling THIS WEEK!”
The three new ladies each bring their own distinct world to the table. Glassman, known previously for her high-profile relationship with former reality star Jon Gosselin, has since built a decade-long career in PR. Toye counts Martha Stewart among her regular clients. Hammond, 34, is a former WWE Diva who co-founded Rumble Boxing and developed fitness programming at Equinox — and made headlines in 2024 when she married billionaire Ankur Jain, founder and CEO of Bilt, in a ceremony held at the pyramids in Egypt.
There’s also a notable blast from the past: Carole Radziwill is making her return to the show as a friend-of, eight years after last appearing in Season 10. Bravo confirmed the news on March 2, writing:
In the marathon of life, loyalty is everything. And because of Bravo fans’ loyalty, Carole Radziwill is returning to #RHONY as a friend-of for Season 16!
Season 16 comes after a round of departures from the previous cast. Brynn Whitfield announced last June that she was stepping away from reality TV to focus on her podcast and dating app venture, while Jenna Lyons confirmed shortly after that she too would not be returning, citing personal reasons and a desire to make space for new energy on the show.
Past seasons of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ are currently streaming on Peacock.
