Subject: 11th Bloom!
Spill It to BravoandCocktails.com:
Casting is officially underway for Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Potomac, though it’s still very much in the early soft-circling phase. No official contracts have gone out yet as those would come after these initial conversations, followed by formal negotiations.
Producers have begun preliminary outreach to Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, Wendy Osefo, Stacey Rusch, and Keiarna Stewart, primarily to gauge availability, assess appetite to return, and quietly workshop possible storylines for the upcoming season.
Ashley Darby, Tia Glover, Angel Massie, and Monique Samuels are all expected to be back, but they were not included in the first round of meetings as production is still internally sorting out role designations. As of now, the working plan has Tia and Angel continuing full-time, while Ashley and Monique are being positioned in friend-of capacities, though that remains fluid and subject to negotiations.
Charrisse Jackson-Jordan’s name is also back in the mix, with conversations leaning toward a high-impact guest role rather than a formal friend-of or full-time slot.
A small handful of new women are currently being interviewed, but Truly Original’s priority is the existing ensemble rather than a full cast overhaul, meaning they love this cast and are stick in’ with it!
As of Monday morning, Jassi Rideux will not be moving forward with the new season.
Former cast members, including Robyn Dixon and Candiace Dillard-Bassett, are not currently part of casting conversations and are not being actively considered at this stage.
Producers are aiming to have cameras up by mid-March at the latest, with a tentative production schedule that would see filming run concurrently with RHOA Season 17 while it’s airing.

Inviting Karen back is gross. DO better Bravo!
I’m boycotting her “interview” as well for all the drunk driving victims out there.
Am I the only one who doesn’t want Charisse
Keep Charisse away from this show and get rid of Ashley completely.
Angel needs to GO!! She didn’t bring anything to the table this season, except the worst housewives trip ever. If she’s back, it will just be more of Giselle piling on and that gets boring.
Angel should be out. And how about they cast people who actually live in Potomac and from there.
So let me get this straight. Bravo welcomes Karen Huger back with open arms, but draws a hard line at Jen Shah?
I get that Karen’s issues relate to questionable judgment but Bravo, think about the message you’re sending. Redemption is not the arc for this type of situation and reinforcing that just looks bad. I used to be a huge Bravo fan, but they need a true reality check. Jen crossed the line into something else entirely. Actual fraud. Real victims. Federal prison. That’s a liability for sure, but so is Karen’s infraction. People have lost loved ones to drunk drivers and although Karen’s situation didn’t end with a horrific situation like that, 4 DUIs should be enough for Bravo to say “enough”.
This feels like Bravo quietly saying there is a boundary, messy is fine but we will allow you to redeem yourself. Felonies that ruin lives are not. It’s wild that this is where the bar finally lands… but here we are. I am taking stock of what I support in 2026 and this is not it.
If Ashley is a friend you can bank on her causing mass destruction to get her camera time
Tia instead of Angel please, she’s just not made for the role.
Wish Bravo would bring Candiace back. Her & Stacey would be unstoppable
