The main cast will include legendary Housewives, Vicki Gunvalson, Luann de Lesseps, Porsha Williams, Teresa Giudice, Kyle Richards, Gizelle Bryant, and Lisa Barlow.

The Ladies Go Head-To-Head In The ‘RHUGT: Roaring 20th’ Trailer
If the super teaser is any indication of what’s ahead, fans are in for an explosive season, with the crossover series hinting at brewing drama between “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne and “Real Housewives of New York” alum de Lesseps.
The clip then flashes to Rosie DiMare of the network’s newest series, “The Real Housewives of Rhode Island,” getting into it with Kelsey Swanson—a feud the iconic Dorinda Medley told them to shut down or be removed from her home.
And that’s not all, as the “Real Housewives of Potomac” OG Ashley Darby bumps heads with Richards over her flirtatious interaction with the latter’s husband, Mauricio Umansky. “Technically, we’re still married,” the “Halloween” actress reminded Darby.
