The cast of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy” is here.
Peacock announced Monday that Ramona Singer, Dorinda Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Sonja Morgan, Kelly Bensimon and Kristen Taekman will star in the upcoming fifth season of the spinoff series.
The ladies will jet off to Saline Beach in St. Barts and stay at the same home as the “Real Housewives of New York City” Season 5 cast trip.
The premiere date “will be announced at a later time,” according to a press release obtained by Pvnew.
“RHONY” fan favorite Jill Zarin noticeably is not set to star.
Bethenny Frankel, who has been vocal about having no interest in starring on the “boring” spinoff, will not be returning either.
Meanwhile, Taekman may come as a surprise to viewers, as she only starred on Seasons 6 and 7 nearly 10 years ago. Bensimon has also been absent from the franchise since Season 7 and has not been a full-time cast member since Season 4.
Pvnew broke the news in January that the proposed idea of a full-size “RHONY” reboot had fallen apart during contract negotiations, so producers transitioned to a “RHUGT”-style one-off show where the cast jets off for a brief vacation.
Sources previously told us that Zarin, 59, played a significant role in the negotiations going awry and Bravo rescinding its initial “Legacy” offers.
However, Zarin recently claimed it was more of a mutual decision.
“’Legacy’ didn’t happen because it just wasn’t meant to happen. That’s the truth,” she told us last week.
“It has nothing to do with me. It has to do with the producers and what they decided to do. I don’t really know.”
The new Peacock series will air after fans get a minor “RHONY” fix with Morgan and de Lesseps’ upcoming spinoff, “Crappy Lake.”
Singer, 66, initially told Pvnew that her time on “RHONY” had come to an end in November 2022, but insiders spilled that she had a change of heart over the last few months.
In March 2022, Bravo first announced that it was rebooting and recasting the beloved NYC staple while also introducing its “Legacy” reboot.
“RHONY” was at a crossroads after Season 13 both with fans and among the cast, especially between newcomer Eboni K. Williams and Singer.
Williams, 39, accused the OG “Housewife” of racism, which led to the network conducting a third-party investigation. The probe ultimately resulted in Bravo reevaluating the show.
The new “RHONY” — which stars Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Dana Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield — premieres July 16 on Bravo.
