Is there a RHOA season 15 trailer?
There most certainly is! The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 15 trailer, which is more than three chaotic minutes long, dropped on March 30, 2023, revealing just a taste of the drama expected to unfold this season.
The trailer opens with our Housewives taking a relaxing sound bath, but it quickly turns to chaos. At around the 25-second mark, we see series vet Kandi Burruss shut down Marlo Hampton by saying, “The only reason why I’m crying right now is because I can’t choke your a--, b----h.” (It appears their last-season feud is continuing into season 15!)
The problems for Burruss don’t stop there. She later reveals she used to hook up with Kenya Moore’s current beau. When Moore reveals a pic of her new man, Burruss responds with, “I went on a date with him before. He popped my cherry.” Didn’t see that one coming!
Drew Sidora has plenty of drama this season, too, with the downfall of her marriage to Ralph Pittman. In the trailer, the two are seen going to couple’s therapy, with Sidora revealing that her husband has moved out of their bedroom. The cameras also document the aftermath of their dramatic filing, including the shocked reactions of the fellow Housewives and Sidora breaking down before a confessional, saying, “I can’t do this” when it comes time to talk about the split.

Who is in the RHOA Season 15 cast?
As of this writing, The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast for season 15 includes:
Kandi Burruss
The veteran of the series, she has been on the show for 14 consecutive seasons. The two-time Broadway producer, singer, actress and now podcast host is apparently aiming to achieve the coveted EGOT in season 15. Meanwhile, she still needs to find time for her personal life, while supporting business-partner and husband, Todd Tucker, in his quest to become a respected Hollywood filmmaker.
Kenya Moore
This season, Moore is looking to build on her hair-care mogul status by opening her own hair salon. Meanwhile, the newly-single lady is finalizing her divorce and trying to navigate the dating world at the same time.
Shereé Whitfield
Following the public humiliation caused by her last high-profile relationship, Whitfield is taking another shot at love this season with her new beau Martell Holt. An unexpected health issue throws a wrench in her plans and demands all of her attention, putting her relationship into question.
Drew Sidora
In the new season, Sidora and her husband, Ralph Pittman, are trying to save their failing marriage, until push comes to shove and it all comes to an end—as captured on camera. As her personal life hits a new low, Sidora releases her first album and continues to pursue a career in acting.
Marlo Hampton
This season, Hampton continues to establish her role as “Munty.” She sees a life coach while dealing with teenagers who are taking driving lessons and working summer jobs for the first time. Her dating life hits a snag when her nephews demand approval of any new man in her life.
Sanya Richards-Ross
Coming back for a second season, Richards-Ross is looking to expand both her business and her family, even with an already packed home of nine. Can she and her husband handle the drama that comes with that many people in one house?
Monyetta Shaw
Shaw is back as a Friend and this time she is looking to play matchmaker, specifically for the newly single Kenya Moore. She finds it tough to remain loyal to Kandi Burruss while attempting to building trust with the other ladies.
Courtney Rhodes
This season will see Rhodes joining our favorite cast as a Friend. She is a successful jewelry designer and brand-marketing expert who has a longstanding friendship with Shereé Whitfield. However, Whitfield is not the only Housewife she has ties to: She discovers that Drew Sidora’s estranged husband, Ralph, is her long-lost cousin.

Are any former castmates returning to season 15?
The trailer reveals that a handful of former castmates will return for at least appearances, including:
Cynthia Bailey
Bailey hasn’t appeared on the series since her season-13 exit, after her breakup with Mike Hill. Fans will remember Bailey as a model and sometime actress who joined the series in 2010 during the show’s third season. The show covered her relationships with Peter Thomas and later Hill, as well as her friendship with NeNe Leakes.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann
Season 15 will see the first appearance of Zolciak-Biermann since season 10, when she was a “Friend Of.” (One of the original Atlanta Housewives, the singer left the series in season 5 before returning in a limited capacity for season 10.) She's had major drama with RHOA castmate Kandi Burruss, so we’re excited to see what happens when she returns!
Lisa Wu
Another of the original Atlanta housewives, Wu was part of the main cast for the show’s first two seasons, before downgrading to a guest for the third season. She continued to make guest appearances on the series in the ninth, tenth and fourteenth seasons. The business-woman extraordinaire's marriage to NFL player Ed Hartwell was featured on the show until their divorce in 2011.
DeShawn Snow
Snow appeared on the first season of RHOA before shocking fans with her exit. She’s come back here and there, once in season 7 and again in season 14, and now it looks like she'll return again. As a reminder, Snow went through a very nasty and public divorce from former NBA player Eric Snow in 2010. Her drama continued when she was accused of fraud in 2019.

How many episodes are in RHOA season 15?
An official episode count for The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 15 has not been announced. However, it's likely the season will consist of roughly 17 regular episodes, plus a multi-part reunion, as with season 14.
What happens in season 15 of RHOA?
While we won’t know for sure what will happen in the exciting new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, we do have some clues.
The official press release dishes, "The fabulous ladies of The Real Housewives of Atlanta are trying their best to get to a healing space. However, with friendships on the brink, accusations causing a fuss, and divorce news that’s all too much, will these women be able to channel positive vibes?"
Kenya Moore revealed on the Pay Attention Puh-Lease! podcast that season 15 saw “drama since day one."
Earlier this year, she said, “The first time we all got together—it was only a week into shooting—and it was just all kinds of crazy drama. This one was getting into it with this one. I had somebody’s boyfriend getting into it with me. It was explosions going off everywhere I looked. And I was like, ‘What the hell is happening?’”
Kandi Burruss echoed the sentiment by saying, “The first week already started with a bang.”
Sounds positively delicious.
