The ever-evolving world of reality TV is abuzz with the latest scoop: Martha Stewart, the iconic media mogul, is set to make a guest appearance in the forthcoming season of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City.’ As fans eagerly anticipate the series’ 16th installment, Stewart’s cameo is sparking curiosity and speculation.
Bravo has been on a mission to revitalize ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ after facing challenges with declining viewership and audience dissatisfaction. The network took bold steps by completely overhauling the cast and launching a “rebooted” season 14 in 2023. This move successfully breathed new life into the franchise, which carried over into season 15 with much of the revamped cast. Now, as production kicks off for season 16, the anticipation is building even more with the news of Stewart’s involvement.
With filming for season 16 having started in early March 2026, viewers are on the edge of their seats, eager to see how this latest chapter unfolds. As the rebooted era of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ continues, the inclusion of such a high-profile personality as Martha Stewart surely promises to keep fans captivated and talking.
‘The Real Housewives of New York’ Season 16 will feature Martha Stewart
The Real Housewives of New York City Season 16 is moving forward as Bravo aims to continue the rebooted era. Season 16 reportedly began production in early March 2026.
The network confirmed that Sai De Silva, Jessel Taank, and Erin Lichy will return from the previous season. And three new full‑time housewives have joined the lineup: Hailey Glassman (known as Jon Gosselin’s ex), Erika Hammond, and Daisy Toye.
Additionally, fan‑favorite Carole Radziwill is set to return in a “friend of” capacity. This marks her first appearance on the series in several years.
Most exciting of all, Martha Stewart reportedly filmed a cameo for RHONY Season 16. According to TMZ, the mogul will appear alongside Toye, as Toye is Stewart’s makeup artist. Stewart reportedly only filmed with the crew for a short period, as it’s already finished. With this in mind, fans won’t get to see Stewart join the cast full-time, though fans would certainly love for this to happen.
Previously, reps told Page Six that Stewart would not join the cast. “Not Martha,” they noted, adding, “She says she is not a ‘Housewife.’”
In 2015, former RHONY star Bethenny Frankel suggested that Stewart should join the cast. Fans may have forgotten that Frankel and Stewart go way back, as Frankel was the runner-up on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart in 2005.
“She doesn’t like me. She never really has. She’s consistent,” Frankel told Seth Meyers. “We had a moment where we were going to do something on TV recently together. She’s always been like a parent that I’ve always tried to get them to love me, but I gave up on that a couple years ago when I had my own show. She just never misses the opportunity to say something negative about me or my products. So, I think she should be a housewife. She could get paid to rip me! That’s good for drama.”
