Leah Remini Joins the Cast of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Along With Another Reality Star

The "King of Queens" actress is going to join the cast of the reality show that has become the most successful in the franchise because people love to hate it.

On August 26, 2026, it was announced that Leah Remini, who became famous appearing in sitcoms mostly alongside Kevin James and for speaking against the Church of Scientology, will be joining "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" for their 16th season.

She is set to become a full-time part of the cast, according to Variety. The actress even confirmed the news with a simple message on Instagram: "It's true!! @bravotv."

But she's not the only new addition to the reality series. Tracy Tutor, who appeared in "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles," will also be part of the show, as she revealed on August 19. These two ladies will be alongside longtime favorites like Kyle Richards, Dorit Kemsley, Rachel Zoe, Bozoma Saint John, Erika "Jayne" Girardi, and Sutton Stracke.

Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly will make some appearances as friends of the ladies, but Amanda Frances won't return despite the fact that Rihanna had messaged her asking her to have more screen time.

Some of the cast has already begun shooting for the newest season, especially for Saint John's wedding, which took place in Ghana on August 21. However, Remini and Tutor won't be there yet, as they are set to begin filming in the coming days.

In June, Executive Producer Andy Cohen told Variety, "They hate it so much, it's the No. 1 'Housewives.'" But only time will tell if this new season continues to stay on top. Unfortunately, there's still no premiere date.
