The fifteenth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, an American reality television series, was broadcast on Bravo, it premiered on May 7, 2023, and is primarily filmed in Atlanta, Georgia. Its executive producers are Steven Weinstock, Glenda Hersh, Lauren Eskelin, Lorraine Haughton-Lawson, Luke Neslage, Glenda Cox, Joye Chin, and Andy Cohen.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta focuses on the lives of Shereé Whitfield, Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Drew Sidora, Marlo Hampton and Sanya Richards-Ross.
The season resulted in a near total recast of the show- only Sidora remained a full time housewife on season 16, while Moore left midway through filming. This season marked the final appearances of Whitfield, Burruss, Hampton and Richards-Ross.
Cast
[edit]For the fifteenth season, all previous cast members returned. In addition to all main cast members and returning friend Monyetta Shaw-Carter, a new "friend of the housewives," Courtney Rhodes is introduced through her connection with Whitfield.[1]
Many former cast members appear in cameos throughout the season; original cast members, DeShawn Snow, Lisa Wu and Kim Zolciak returned in guest capacities, along with long-time housewife, Cynthia Bailey. In addition to former housewives, Akilah Coleman (wife of Tevin Coleman) is also introduced as a guest through her connection with Moore.[2]
Production
[edit]Production for the season began at the start of October 2022 and concluded the following year at the end of January 2023. The first trailer was released on March 30, 2023.[3]
In the original airing of "Rap Sheets and Old Beefs," a flashback to Season 4 is preceded by the title card featuring the cast at the time. NeNe Leakes is absent from the image, being edited out due to legal issues between her and the Bravo network.[4] Backlash from viewers resulted in the episode being removed from streaming services and re-edited. The revised episode was reuploaded on the following Tuesday with the removal of the title card altogether.[5]
