What's the Tea On 'RHOSLC' Season 5?

2024 began with several disappointing showings from various Real Housewives franchises. The Potomac, Atlanta, and New Jersey franchises — all usually the most popular — proved to be disappointing, with huge drops in viewership for all three. One franchise that did not disappoint from start to finish was Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. The show hasn't had a dull season yet, thanks to the existence of Jen Shah. It boasts the honor of being the first Real Housewives series to film a federal arrest.

With Jen serving out her prison sentence, fans were concerned about Season 4. Thankfully, they brought in Monica Garcia as a new housewife. Monica worked for Jen and was one of the people who played a role in her arrest. Monica brought with her bags upon bags of drama, which led to one of the most iconic finale episodes to date. RHOSLC also boasts the honor of being the first franchise quoted on the floor of U.S. Congress. The hype is real, so many want to know: What's new with Season 5?

A good majority of viewers were sad to learn that Monica was fired from the series shortly after the reunion special aired. This was likely due to the core four — Heather Gay, Lisa Barlow, Whitney Rose, and Meredith Marks — reportedly refusing to work with her. While there have been no official announcements about the cast, it is presumed that the core four and Angie Katsanevas are returning. There are rumors that two new women have joined the ranks as the newest snowflake holders.

A few outlets and Redditors believe that the newest additions to the RHOSLC cast are Britani Bateman, Meili Workman, and Bronwyn Newport. According to reports, Britani is an actor and entrepreneur. Meili is a model and a mom of four kids, while Bronwyn is a fashion influencer. The rumors spread after all three ladies were seen at Lisa Barlow's Galentine's event for Vida Tequila. None of this has been confirmed yet by Bravo.

There have not yet been any announcements regarding when Season 5 of RHOSLC will premiere, but it most likely won't be until late 2024 or early 2025. Some fans spotted the ladies on their trip to Milwaukee. While there has been no news about Mary Cosby returning as a friend or full-time Housewife she was spotted with the rest of the cast on the Milwaukee trip. As for Monica, Bravo has said that she could come back in the future and referred to her as a way to let the OGs cool down.
