“Is it there?” asks Jessel Taank.
“Listen to me, it’s there!” responds Ubah Hassan.
“I don’t know if it’s there,” says Sai De Silva.
“Well … I heard it’s really close,” interjects Brynn Whitfield, winking to the camera.
Erin Lichy then tells her co-stars, “Guys, I’m telling you — it’s there!”
Lyons adds, “Honestly, I’m going to be the one to dispel the rumors, because season 15, it’s there.”
Nodding to her comment about Tribeca in the previous season, Taank closes the video saying the upcoming season is “really up and coming.”
The premiere date for RHONY season 15 has not been shared yet.
Prior to the confirmation of the cast’s return for season 15, fans worried that Lyons, who recently became the editor-in-chief at Coveteur, would drop off the show.
While appearing on Today With Hoda & Jenna in November 2023, Lyons expressed doubts over whether she’d return to the show. “We’re wondering if you’re coming back for the next season,” said Jenna Bush Hagar.
Lyons responded, “I’m wondering, too.”
Lyons noted that she appeared on RHONY to promote her false eyelash company LoveSeen, which has since had “a much bigger halo than [she] expected” but began questioning whether she wanted her private life to be part of the show.
“I also am in a relationship now and I have to take that into consideration,” she said. “How that impacts not just me but the people around me. So I have some thinking to do.”
In a New York Times profile that coincided with Bravo’s announcement, Lyons explained the boundaries she placed throughout filming the new season, which include leaving her romance with Cass Bird off-camera.
“I’ve taken on a lot of projects. There was some concern about my ability, just time-wise, to commit to it, and that was a big deal,” she said, about initially not being sure if she’d continue her stint at Bravo. “I also have a new relationship and wanted to maintain privacy. It was not just me. We all had to figure out, like, ‘Can this work?’ I wasn’t sure. Definitely not sure.”
