In the post’s caption, the network promised that the reality TV show’s new season, which premieres on May 7th, will provide “juicy drama,” “worldwide adventures” and a “few familiar faces.”
Excited fans got a glimpse at one of the familiar faces set to return to the show during the trailer when former star and current friend of the show Kim Zolciak-Biermann, 44, appeared during its short runtime.
Kim was shown having dinner with other RHOA cast members as they sat around the table and chanted “don’t be tardy for the party.”
She was also told that her breasts “look smaller,” by series regular Kenya Moore, 52, before the trailer cut to other scenes expected from season 15.
In the post’s comment section, one person wrote: “I’ll take what I said back this season looks interesting.”
Another fan wrote: “This looks like an incredible come-up. We may be ready for a new golden era of the A!”
“Yes OG link up! Kim, Lisa, Sheree, and DeShawn!” added a third.
While a fourth commenter exclaimed: “The queens are BACK!”
This isn’t the first time Kim shocked fans with a surprise visit, the Real Housewives alum shocked fans last year when she made a surprise appearance with her old co-stars.
The reality star, who was seven months pregnant at the time, left the show in season 5 after getting into an argument with the cast and producers.
Carlos King, an acclaimed TV producer, who is known for Belle Collective, Love & Marriage, BET Presents: The Encore, and more, brought back the season 1 cast of RHOA for a surprise reunion.
PEOPLE first reported that Kim, DeShawn Snow, Sheree Whitfield, and Lisa Wu, are coming back together for the June 11 episode of Carlos’ OWN new talk show, The Nightcap With Carlos King.
The RHOA stars shared life updates and the drama of season one during the half-hour show.
The four women have not been in the same room together since 2008 when they filmed the season one reunion.
They had all stepped away from Bravo with DeShawn being the first, who left after season one.
Lisa was a full-time cast member during the first two seasons and has made guest appearances on occasion.
Sheree is still a Housewife after returning in season 14.
However, the biggest surprise of all is Kim.
After leaving in season 5, due to problems on set, she launched her own spinoff show and returned as a Friend in season 10.
KIM’S DEPARTURE
Kim left in the middle of season 5 after getting in a spat with the other housewives and production.
At the time, Kim was seven months pregnant with her son Kash Kade and had been invited by Cynthia Bailey to travel to Anguilla for her vow renewal with Peter Thomas.
However, she told the other housewives that she wasn’t able to travel because of her pregnancy which started a fight with almost everyone.
After a yelling match with the housewives and production, Kim quit on the spot.
Before the lawsuit, Nene wanted the original cast members to return to the show.
NOT THE VIBE
Kim’s daughter, Brielle, didn’t think it was a good idea for her mom to return, due to negativity on RHOA.
She told Us Weekly: “I don’t know why she would. She has her own TV show and it’s doing great and it’s super fun to film and I don’t know why she would put herself back into that crazy environment.
“I mean maybe if it was less negativity, more positivity [and] a couple of people were replaced. Yeah, she’d probably go back.”
She further explained: “I don’t want her to go back.
“Coming home and being drained every single day because of all the negativity, it’s just not the vibe.”
Since leaving RHOA, Kim had her own reality show, Don’t Be Tardy, until it was canceled in 2021.
