Summary
- Phaedra Parks and Cynthia Bailey returning to RHOA for season 17
- New "peaches" (cast members) joining the show
- Exciting domestic and international trips planned for the season

In an exclusive interview at BravoCon 2025, former The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Phaedra Parks and Cynthia Bailey announced their highly anticipated return to the show for its upcoming 17th season. The two veteran Housewives are ready to shake things up, with Bailey, 58, declaring, "We are coming for all of them," while Parks, 52, added, "Move over everybody. We are back. We are back, honey."
The new season of RHOA is set to feature "some new peaches," or new cast members, according to Parks. She described the newcomers as "very interesting" and "very different" from the show's previous stars, promising to add "a little spice to the gumbo." However, the series will also maintain its core cast, with Bailey hinting at a mix of "the glory days" and "a splash of new."
One of the highlights of the upcoming season will be the cast's domestic and international trips, which Bailey teased will be "very important." She remained tight-lipped about the specifics, but both she and Parks expressed excitement about the adventures that await the Housewives.
After a six-season hiatus, Parks made her grand return to RHOA in the previous season, and Bailey, who left the show in 2021 after 11 years, is now back as an official friend of the cast. With the veteran Housewives reunited and new faces joining the fray, season 17 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta promises to be a must-watch for fans of the long-running reality series.
