Dolores Catania has joined the cast of The Real Housewives of New Jersey.

Ahead of the season seven premiere in July, Bravo offered a detailed description of what is to come.

"This season, Teresa looks to repair fractured relationships with her family and friends," read a press release by Bravo on Tuesday. "Although her release from prison brings the Giudice family back together, the reunion is short-lived as they only have a few months before Joe begins his sentence. After growing closer to the Gorga family while Teresa was away, Melissa now fears it may all crumble and hopes she can start fresh with her sister-in-law, permanently putting the past behind them."

"Meanwhile, Jacqueline, whose main focus continues to be helping her autistic son, longs for the 'Lucy and Ethel' friendship she had with Teresa and is willing to bury their history if it means a more lighthearted future," the network explained.

As for Catania, the release continued, "Teresa and Jacqueline’s longtime friend, Dolores, is a divorced mom of two, focusing on a road toward independence as she emotionally and financially recovers from two failed relationships."

According to Bravo's official website, Catania was born in Patterson, New Jersey and is the quintessential modern day Renaissance woman. She's also a divorced mother of two, a 20-year-old daughter, Gabrielle, and a 17-year-old son, Frankie.

Siggy Flicker was also added the cast for season seven.

"Siggy, another friend of Jacqueline’s, fits right in with the Jersey group with her dynamic personality and high energy, as she navigates her relationships with her children who find her overbearing at times. But just as these five ‘wives begin to form strong bonds, relationships are on the verge of breaking – and when old friends meet new friends, it may mean no friends for some," the network added.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season seven premieres on July 10 at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Check out the dramatic trailer below.
