“Real Housewives of New Jersey” has reportedly started test filming for Season 15 without Teresa Guidice.

“There are potential new cast members who filmed with Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania and Melissa Gorga in mid-August,” an insider told Us Weekly Thursday.

“They want to see how the new girls work on camera with some veteran cast members from the show.”

The insider added that while Giudice, 53, wasn’t involved in the test shoot, she, along with friends Jackie Goldschneider and Jen Fessler, “are still in consideration to be part of the new season.”

One of the potential newcomers being eyed by the network is said to be podcast host Michelle Barone, who happens to be close with Giudice and Goldschneider.

Test filming is a common practice in reality TV done before official production begins.

A rep for Bravo also Page Six that “no official casting decisions have been made” as of yet.

A rep for Giudice did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Last season closed with Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Catania, Gorga, Josephs, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda among the cast, as well as friends Goldschneider and Fessler.

Though, that list appears to be changing very soon.

Bravo exec Andy Cohen revealed that new casting was happening on the popular franchise earlier this summer.

“We are doing casting on ‘Jersey,’” Cohen said on a June episode of “The View.” “It was really on a deep pause and we are actively there casting and looking at the future of what that will be.”

He also assured fans that the show wouldn’t be on the chopping block at the network, adding that he and Bravo believe “RHONJ” is “a great franchise and we love it.”

Cohen previously revealed that the cast of “RHONJ” would be undergoing a major overhaul last July after the show’s Season 14 finale and unconventional reunion special.

The series was put on ice the following month as an insider shared that filming likely wouldn’t resume until 2025.

“There are not going to be any decisions about what will or won’t happen with the show until early next year,” a source told the Daily Mail at the time.

The decision was made after viewership also hit a “new series low” during the fourteenth season which was filmed between August and October 2023, per the insider.
