'RHOA' Cast Shakeup, Season 8 Ladies Revealed: NeNe Leakes Out, Cynthia & Kenya In

NeNe Leakes might have just left The Real Housewives of Atlanta but did she leave the series in a panic to find another women to replace her before filming begins? It is being revealed that the next season of the show is gearing up to begin production next month, but without much news coming from Bravo, fans are left wondering what will happen to the series now that NeNe has left. While the cast is most likely not going to be announced until September, two months before the show's premiere, it is being speculated that some housewives and former housewives positions are still up in the air.

According to Radar Online, the series will have the ladies star shooting scenes for season eight, in just a few days.

"They start filming in just two weeks," an insider explained to the site. Yet, without much notice it is still being speculated on which members of the cast will be returning.

Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks are all expected to make their returns as most of them have been with the series for more than three seasons. It is also being reported that one of the departed housewives who only made an appearance last year, in a guest role, will be returning as a full fledged housewife this time around.

"Porsha [Williams] is getting her peach back," an insider told the site. "They see her much more as an asset now than in previous seasons.

It is also being rumored that Claudia Jordan, who made her debut to the franchise last season, is not going to be getting her close-up when the Bravo show returns for new episodes.

The cast will officially be released in September.
