The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is shaking things up for season 14, with a new cast member who’s more than just reality TV royalty – she’s an Oscar nominee!
Out with the old… After three seasons, Crystal Kung Minkoff and her short-lived feud with Annemarie Wiley are departing the show. Replacing the drama (and introducing a new power player) is former Netflix executive Bozoma Saint John.
But the biggest news is…Jennifer Tilly! Yes, the iconic actress known for both her dramatic chops (Bullets Over Broadway) and horror films (Bride of Chucky) is joining the cast as a friend. She’ll be keeping company with fan favorite Kathy Hilton, who’s back for another season alongside the familiar faces of Garcelle Beauvais, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Kyle Richards, and Sutton Stracke.
Why the shakeup? Season 13 was the franchise’s most-watched ever, fueled by the drama surrounding Kyle Richards’ relationship woes. The upcoming season looks to capitalize on that momentum with a new cast dynamic, including a potentially juicy storyline for Dorit following her recent separation.
Can they maintain the highs? While season 13 had its meme-worthy moments, it also had its share of misses. With Crystal and Annemarie exiting, some of the forced drama is hopefully leaving too.
Filling the void? Enter Jennifer Tilly and potentially Bozoma Saint John. These newcomers, along with the returning Erika, Garcelle, Sutton, and Kathy, have the potential to keep the show interesting without resorting to manufactured conflict.
When can we watch? No premiere date yet for season 14, but with this exciting cast shakeup, fans are eagerly awaiting its arrival.
