Real Housewives Of New Jersey Canceled? Teresa Giudice Prison Sentence Drama- Bravo Series RHONJ Delayed Until 2016?

Uh oh! It looks like the Real Housewives of New Jersey's are in trouble. The future of the series is not looking so clear, as star of the show Teresa Giudice's prison sentence looms in the coming weeks. The RHONJ veteran, who has been with the series since its debut, has left the show in jeopardy as the producers aren't sure what they are planning on doing now that she is headed to the big house.

According to Radar Online, the show has not been canceled, yet, but rather delayed, now that Teresa will be away for a 15-month sentence. The show was thought to start filming as soon as the current season ended back in October to get footage filmed before the starlet went to jail, but now it looks like they will wait to film scenes until Teresa is a free woman in 2016.

So why the delay? Well the network is not so sure that they will have a show without the staple housewife.

"Bravo is very nervous to do the show without Teresa," an insider explained to the news site. "They fear that without her, the show will not be as big of a success."

To maintain the show, execs feel that the best thing to do would be to wait till Teresa is out of jail to start production again.

"They're exploring shelving the season until 2016, when Teresa gets out of prison," the source revealed. "By having her fresh out of prison, there would be a clear storyline. It would also pull on fans' heartstrings to see the changed Teresa back in the limelight."

The Hollywood Gossip is also reporting on rumors that emerged in the last couple of weeks, saying that the series would start production as soon as the sixth season ended to film Teresa before her sentence starts, however, sources say that "these reports are not true."

Should these reports be true, we don't know how are we going to get through all of 2015 without a Teresa Giudice fix?
