'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 16 Cast Guide | Photos

After a long wait, Season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” is finally here, and there’s a ton of new ladies for you to get to know.

With two O.G.s back in the game, plus four new housewives, fans can expect lots of drama, big laughs and comfort in familiar faces — including veteran housewife Cynthia Bailey joining as a friend of the show.

While the franchise went through it’s ups and downs following a slew of cast exits and changeups, even former “RHOA” executive producer, Carlos King, said, Season 16 could be one of its best yet.

“I think this is going to be one of the best seasons, for sure. And I’m going to tell you why: Porsha is back, and Porsha is so fun to watch. We get to see the uncovering of what happened in her filing for divorce [from Simon Guobadia] … We get to see that from a force multiplier,” King explained. “And then we get to see Kenya Moore and what happens when she transitions out of the show. And then we get to see these new girls come in.

“And then Cynthia Bailey’s back as a ‘friend of.’ Honey, Phaedra Parks comes in towards the end of the season. There’s so many surprises that are going to happen that I have a very strong feeling it’s going to be a great season. I’m looking forward to seeing ‘Frick and Frack’ coming back.”

There’s a lot to look forward to but until then check out the Season 16 cast of “Real Housewives of Atlanta.”

Check out the list below.

Porsha Williams

That’s right, “RHOA” fan favorite Porsha Williams has returned to the cast after calling it quits for two seasons. Following tumultuous breakup with her estranged husband Simon Guobadia, there’s a lot for Williams to unpack with her fellow housewives this season.

Phaedra Parks

Just like Williams, Parks is making a long-awaited return to “RHOA.” After making appearance on “Married to Medicine” and “Traitors,” the southern belle is back and better than ever. She’ll be joining later in the season.

Drew Sidora

Drew Sidora has truly made her mark on “RHOA” after a four-season run, and she’s not holding anything back in Season 16.

Shamea Morton Mwangi

She’s been a Porsha Williams’ friend of the show for several seasons, Shamea Morton Mwangi has finally earned her peach.

Brit Eady

One of the three newcomers this season is Brit Eady. She’s a businesswoman who works in the insurance industry and runs her own insurance education agency Agency Jumpstart. In addition, Eady is a proud dog mom, wife and launched a shapewear and clothing line Bare and Naked.

Kelli Ferrell

Another newbie is Kelli Ferrell. She’s the owner of popular Atlanta-based chicken and waffles restaurant Nana’s Chicken-N-Waffles. She’s also a “culinary partner and ambassador” for Meals on Wheels Atlanta.

Angela Oakley

Angela Oakley grew up in Harvey, Illinois, but she’s now making moves in Atlanta as the newest cast member of “RHOA.” Oakley is married to NBA legend Charles Oakley but she has her own career in real estate investing and tax preparation.

Atlanta United

Challenges await the soccer team’s new players and manager Gerardo Martino.

Atlanta United’s presumed path back to MLS relevance will start with a new manager, a few new players and a few players gone and, at some point, a new president.

Manager Gerardo Martino, back at the club after leading it to the playoffs in 2017 and MLS Cup in 2018, will lead the first training session of the pending season Monday.

ATLANTA — The Braves’ decision to decline Tyler Kinley’s $5.5 million option in November proved to be a sound financial decision.
