Although fans initially speculated that the show may have been canceled, it has since been confirmed that the show is still a part of the Bravo lineup. However, because it won't premiere for several more months, it wasn't a part of the presentation.
“Since the show is not currently filming or technically in production this season, NBC/Bravo did not invite anyone from it,” Real Mr. Housewife explained on Thursday.

Currently, the unofficial star of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Teresa Giudice, is serving a 15-month prison term at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn. Although Giudice is expected to remain at the facility until late this year, her attorney recently said she'd likely continue her journey with Bravo once she was released from custody.
During an interview with PEOPLE Magazine last month, James J. Leonard said he didn't think Bravo would move forward with the series without her.
“Anyone who has watched that show since the very first episode understands that Teresa Giudice is the central figure around which the show revolves," Leonard explained. "That’s not to take anything away from any of the other women, but Teresa has been the focal point for the last six seasons, and I don’t expect that to change moving forward, assuming both sides can agree on a contract.”
