Andy Cohen is dropping some hints about the upcoming season of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.”
During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cohen revealed that they are currently trying to finalize the cast for the upcoming season. “You know what? We are noodling with the configuration of Atlanta as we speak,” Cohen admitted during the August 10, 2021 interview. “I just threw out a little piece of paper that has the names of who I believe the cast will be. I am not going to show you … there are six names on this list.”
And, when asked which “Real Housewives” star he would want to bring back to TV, he mentioned a former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star, interestingly enough.
“I always love Shereé [Whitfield],” Cohen said. “I mean, we just brought Heather Dubrow back in Orange County and I thought that was great. It would be fun — I think it would be fun to bring someone back who no one would [expect] — I mean, people talk about Dorinda [Medley] or Lisa Vanderpump or… I always like the curveball and the people saying, ‘What?! You’re bringing back this person?!’ I think Monique [Samuels] would be fun in Potomac.”
According to a June 2021 report by Radar Online, filming for season 14 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” was pushed back to October 2021 due to uncertainty around the current cast.
