Speculation continues to swirl around the future of a popular reality television franchise, with one former cast member offering her perspective on the prolonged production hiatus.
In a recent discussion, the personality expressed a lack of concern over the break, stating she is “excited” to have her summer free. She typically films segments at her shore house during this season. “I’m not mad at the pause,” she remarked, contrasting her view with reported fan frustration.
Addressing the rumors directly, she suggested that producers are currently “regrouping” and “revamping” the show’s format. Her opinion is that the series is not ending but is instead poised for a significant refresh. “I think they’re gonna do some type of hybrid,” she proposed, indicating a belief that the network will retain a few familiar faces while introducing new ones—a move she sees as necessary. “It’s time for a shake-up,” she added, claiming this sentiment is shared by the network itself.
While she doubts the entire cast will be replaced, the ultimate composition remains uncertain. “I think they’re gonna keep a couple and bring a couple… We’ll see what happens,” she concluded.
This commentary follows reports from industry sources indicating that only three women from the previous season have been formally retained by the network for potential future projects. Other cast members were reportedly not given retention notices and are not currently being pursued.
Insiders have suggested that decisions regarding some cast members were influenced by factors beyond the individuals themselves, including difficulties with family members behind the scenes. Regarding one retained personality, sources indicate the network highly values the dynamic and entertainment provided by her husband, viewing it as a key asset they are reluctant to lose.
A spokesperson for the network has officially stated that “no decisions have been made around casting,” aligning with repeated public comments from the show’s executive producer that no final determinations will be announced until the coming year.
