On the heels of Caroline Manzo's recently-announced departure from the Bravo reality series, The Real Housewives of New Jersey will feature new Housewives Nicole Napolitano and Teresa Napolitano, who are twin sisters, as well as their friend Amber Marchese on Season 6, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A Bravo representative declined comment on the alleged addition of the three ladies.
While it remains unclear whether remaining cast members Teresa Giudice, Jacqueline Laurita, Melissa Gorga, and Kathy Wakile will return for the show's upcoming season, Laurita is rumored to be leaving.
Giudice's fate on the show is also uncertain, as she's currently battling a 39-count indictment for federal fraud alongside her husband Joe Giudice. The pair could reportedly face up to 50 years in jail based on the charges.

However, original The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dina Manzo may be coming back to the show. According to The Reporter, she recently received the offer to return and noted she's "considering" it.
Caroline confirmed she was quitting the series earlier this week. The 52-year-old married mother of three has been a cast member on the show since its first season premiered back in May 2009. She's currently filming a pilot for her own The Real Housewives of New Jersey spinoff.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey's fifth-season finale aired on September 29 and was followed by a two-part reunion show which concluded Sunday night.
