RHOC Season 17 Premieres Tonight
One of the longest-running reality series, RHOC, is back for its 17th season. The new season is all set to air tonight, on Bravo. As per usual, you can expect drama, tears, fights, and conflicts – the things we love about the housewives of Orange County. Can’t watch the television broadcast? No worries, the episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Peacock.
RHOC Season 17 Trailer Reveals Exciting Developments
The trailer for the upcoming season dropped on April 25, 2023, and from what we can gather, it’s going to be a wild ride. From slip-n-slides to white water rafting excursions, and the much-anticipated return of Vicki Gunvalson, Season 17 of RHOC promises to be a thrilling affair.
Meet the Cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17
The 17th season of RHOC will feature six main cast members along with one “friend of the housewives.” Let’s meet them:
Tamra Judge
Tamra Judge is back! After being fired from the show following Season 14 due to her high asking price, Judge is returning for the 17th season, making it clear that Bravo found the funds to meet her demands.
Heather Dubrow
Heather Dubrow, a seasoned RHOC participant, is returning for another run. After exiting the show post her tenure from Season 7-11, Dubrow has returned, keen to use the platform to highlight LGBTQ+ parenting.
Shannon Storms Beador
The veteran housewife, Beador, has been with the show since Season 9. The last reunion didn’t end well for her, and we’ll see if the drama extends into Season 17.
Gina Kirschenheiter
At 38, Gina is the youngest member of this year’s cast. Despite her age, she’s not the newest as she joined the cast during Season 13. After her turbulent relationship with Shannon last season, it seems she’ll be at the heart of the drama this year too.
Emily Simpson
Emily, the legal expert of the show, is back for her fifth season. With her previous issues with Tamra, seeing how things unfold between the two in the new season will be interesting.
Jennifer Pedranti
Jennifer, the newcomer, is a yoga studio owner and a mother of five. Initially introduced as Tamra’s friend, it appears their friendship might be on the rocks, as suggested by the trailer.
Taylor Armstrong
Taylor Armstrong, one of the original housewives from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is set to make history by switching franchises. Armstrong will be returning this season as a “friend of the housewives.”
What’s New for Season 17?
Tamra Judge is returning to the franchise after two seasons off, and the trailer hints at the return of OG RHOC housewife Vicki Gunvalson in some capacity this season.
On the other hand, two Season 16 housewives, Jen Armstrong and Noella Bergener, will not be returning for Season 17. Both had previously been guests and were promoted to regulars in Season 16 but announced their exits last season.
Number of Episodes in The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17
While the exact episode count for Season 17 has not yet been released, Season 16 consisted of 19 episodes, suggesting that the latest season might follow suit.
Streaming The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 17
Season 17 will air exclusively on Bravo each week, before being available to stream on Peacock the following day. Unfortunately for Hulu subscribers, all Bravo franchises, including RHOC, have moved over to Peacock for streaming.
