Season 15 of the much-awaited 'Real Housewives of Orange County' will be like no other season we have ever seen before. While we are used to watching the glamorous housewives of Orange County living up their life by attending numerous parties and social events, the current season was filmed in the midst of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. This means we will see how the housewives spent their time during quarantine and all the drama they managed to stir up while social distancing!

Release date

The 'Real Housewives of Orange County' Season 15 is all set to premiere on Wednesday, October 7, at 9/8c only on Bravo. Following the premiere, you can catch the all-new episodes of 'RHOC' every Wednesday at 9/8c only on Bravo.

Plot

Season 15 of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' gives us a glimpse into how the lives of these fancy women turned upside down, thanks to the pandemic. The ladies all began 2020 with big dreams and expectations, but everything went bust when Covid-19 hit the whole country. Shannon Beador, who is the only "Tres Amigas" left on the show, following Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Judge's exit, now has no choice but to make amends with her former enemy, Kelly Dodd. As things were moving smoothly for Shannon with the group, her worst nightmare came to life when she tested positive for Covid-19 alongside her three daughters. So, we can expect to see a lot of Shannon and her girls' recovery from the deadly virus on the show.

While Shannon is battling Covid-19, Gina Kirschenheiter is ready to embark on her new life with her boyfriend, Travis. Travis and she will be moving in together in the upcoming season. We will see a bit of drama between Gina and her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, when she invites him to one of the children's birthday celebrations. Gina also gets into a scuffle with the ladies when she learns that they are all talking smack about her new house. Kelly Dodd can be seen settling into her new life with fiance, Rick Leventhal. Tensions arise between Kelly and the ladies when she continues to fly across the country and live her life like there isn't a pandemic going on. Also, her tone-deaf political jokes don't sit well with some of her fellow housewives.

While Kelly is jet-setting across the country, Braunwyn Windham-Burke is stuck at home taking care of her seven children without the help of any of their nannies. Braunwyn definitely has her hands full. Emily Simpson and her husband, Shane Simpson, will be showing us a different side of their marriage in the upcoming season. New housewife Elizabeth Lyn Vargas will be making her debut in the show.

Cast

Kelly Dodd, Shannon Beador, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter return to Season 15. New housewife and Kelly's friend, Elizabeth Lyn Vargas, joins the ladies this season.
