NeNe Leakes to Appear in Bravo's Housewives Road Trip Spinoff

NeNe Leakes, a longtime star of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, is set to return to Bravo in a limited capacity for the network's new spinoff series, The Real Housewives Ultimate Road Trip. The confirmation came from Bravo executive Andy Cohen during a recent episode of his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live, marking Leakes' first on-screen appearance with the network since departing the Atlanta series in 2020.

The series, announced at BravoCon in November 2025, celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Real Housewives franchise. It follows a core group of seven women traveling to iconic locations from the shows' history, starting in Orange County, California, and ending with an east coast finale. At each stop, the travelers will connect with past and present cast members from local franchises, featuring reunions and tributes to the series' legacy. Production sources indicate Leakes will appear during the Atlanta segment, providing a notable presence without joining as a full-time cast member. Cohen described the format as involving "a group of about seven or eight gals... going from town to town," with potential cameos from up to 60 Housewives across the franchise by the end.
