Who is in the RHONY Season 16 cast?
Bravo announced the seven Housewives with the first-look trailer on July 21, 2026 (Bravo):
- Sai De Silva, returning
- Erin Lichy, returning
- Jessel Taank, returning
- Carole Radziwill, returning to the franchise
- Hailey Glassman, new
- Erika Hammond, new
- Daisy Toye, new
That leaves out several women from the Season 15 cast. Jenna Lyons, Racquel Chevremont, Ubah Hassan, Brynn Whitfield and Rebecca Minkoff are not in Bravo’s Season 16 line-up.
How the cast know each other
Bravo says the group is “deeply interconnected.” Sai has a 20-plus-year friendship with Daisy, Jessel is close to Erika, and Carole has “preexisting ties to several cast members.” Between them, the women work in fashion, media, beauty, fitness, publishing, real estate and their own businesses (Bravo).
What happens in Season 16?
Bravo’s official logline:
“The city that never sleeps lights up when this ambitious group of Housewives takes on another unforgettable season. From the concrete jungle to the sandy beaches of a private island, they work hard and play even harder as some friendships grow stronger, new ones form, and others take unexpected turns. When pieces of the past resurface and new tensions emerge, the women find themselves navigating shifting loyalties and fractured friendships.”
From Bravo’s trailer summary:
- Carole “returns to reclaim her apple.” That’s the RHONY tagline tradition, and Season 16 is Carole Radziwill’s first season back.
- Old guard vs. new. The trailer previews “intense feuds and heated confrontations” between the returning women and the three newcomers.
- A private-island trip. The cast trip goes to a private island that, Bravo says, “doesn’t exactly meet everyone’s high expectations.”

Where did RHONY Season 15 leave off?
Season 15 ended with a cast trip to Puerto Rico with Sai, Erin, Jessel, Jenna Lyons, Racquel Chevremont, Ubah Hassan, Brynn Whitfield and Rebecca Minkoff. Bravo says that after a conflict between Ubah and Brynn, the women went back to New York early, and Jessel said, “So much has happened. I don’t know if it will ever be the same” (Bravo).
At the reunion, which was filmed in December 2024, Sai apologised to Erin again for talking “a lot of crap” about her during the season. Ubah and Brynn made peace, and Brynn said she was “sorry for multiple things” and vowed “to be a better friend.” Erin was expecting her fourth child with husband Abe Lichy at the reunion, and Bravo reports the couple announced the birth of their son, Jack, in March 2025.
