The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Tamra Judge is reportedly joining the season 2 cast of the Real Housewives spin-off series on Peacock. The first installment of the spin-off was filmed in May in Turks and Caicos, featuring current cast members from the many Housewives franchises. However, no one from RHOC was in the cast. The first season will include Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Kyle Richards, Teresa Giudice, and Melissa Gorga.
Tamra left RHOC in 2020 after 12 seasons with the franchise. She started on the show in 2007 for season 3, and she had been a staple in the franchise until her untimely departure. Viewers saw so much of Tamra’s life unfold in front of their eyes, from her divorce to her first husband, Simon Barney, to her marriage with her current husband, Eddie Judge. Now that more than a year has passed since she left RHOC, she is ready for her second go on reality TV.
E! News exclusively confirmed that Tamra would be a part of the second installment of the Peacock spin-off Real Housewives All-Stars series. Multiple sources confirmed Tamra’s return after stepping back from RHOC last year. The 54-year-old will be joining the series alongside The Real Housewives of New York City alums Dorinda Medley and Jill Zarin, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ Taylor Armstrong and Brandi Glanville, The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Phaedra Parks and Eva Marcille, and her former co-star Vicki Gunvalson.
The second season was announced last month, a few months after the first season was confirmed. While the first season got to film in a tropical location, the second season will be filmed at Blue Stone Manor (Dorinda’s infamous abode) in the Berkshires in Massachusetts. The new season, which will be better than season 1, consists of iconic Housewives who have received the boot from the network or decided to leave on their own accord. A source close to E! News revealed that the show will have a “24/7 Big Brother-style,” with the cast constantly being filmed throughout the day.
If these seasons go well, there is a chance Peacock will be filming one every summer. The spin-off is the perfect way for former Housewives like Tamra to return to reality TV without being an official full-time cast member. Tamra left RHOC after season 14 but was asked to return as a guest to wrap up her storyline from the season before. Tamra, who is recovering from breast implant removal, was offered to appear in three episodes of season 15 but declined the offer and decided to end her time in the franchise completely.
Viewers are more than excited to see Tamra return to their TV screens after her exit from The Real Housewives of Orange County. Tamra was a fantastic addition to the series and was greatly missed, along with Vicki, during season 15. Now that the Housewives spin-off season 2 is underway, fans are delighted to see Tamra back in action.
