It has been 10 months since the season 6 reunion of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," and while the show certainly had a long hiatus, the Bravo series is reportedly gearing up to start filming the new season this fall. So far, the network has kept news about the upcoming season's cast firmly under wraps, but a new report claims that some Bravo insiders may have the scoop on the show's season 7 cast. 

Among those who will reportedly return are Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga, according to Entertainment Tonight. Giudice is currently serving her prison sentence for fraud, but she is set to be released for home confinement on Dec. 23. The mother of four, who has been in the Federal Correctional Institute in Danbury, Connecticut since Jan. 5, will reportedly make her comeback in the Bravo series and cameras are expected to document her return to her New Jersey home in December. 

Meanwhile, Gorga, who is Giudice's sister-in-law, is likewise expected to return, as well as Jacqueline Laurita. But season 6 new additions Amber Marchese and twins Teresa Aprea and Nicole Napolitano have not been officially asked to come back, sources told ET. In season 6, the twins famously feuded with some of the Housewives, including Giudice.

Kathy Wakile and Rossi Pierri will be back as "friends" of the Housewives; while Dina Manzo, who returned to the show last season, will reportedly bow out of season 7. During the season 6 reunion, Manzo hinted that she wouldn't be returning due to all the fighting among the women. Manzo and her family currently star in their "RHONJ" spin-off "Manzo'd With Children." 

As for new additions, it has been reported that Traci Johnson, the wife of former NFL player Tiki Barber, was asked to be on the show. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of "Jersey Shore" and Erica Levy, Geraldo Rivera's wife, were also approached to be on the show, as well as Lisa Valastro, the wife of "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro. Levy reportedly declined the offer, and it remains unclear whether Johnson has agreed to be on the show. 

ET reports that casting for season 7 will be finalized this month, and filming will begin shortly afterward.
