The season will pick up with several storylines — including Catania, 52, and Aydin, 45, struggling to repair their friendship after a heated Season 12 reunion argument resulted in Catania calling Aydin a “f–king c–t.”

Meanwhile, Josephs, 55, and Giudice, 50, will also attempt to mend their broken relationship after the OG “Housewife” accused her co-star of spreading rumors about her now-husband, Luis Ruelas.

Last but certainly not least, a majority of the season will focus on the strained relationship between Giudice and her brother, Joe Gorga, and sister-in-law, Melissa, 43. Page Six broke the news that the family’s tumultuous relationship hit a new low last summer, causing the Gorgas to skip Giudice and Ruelas’ wedding.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of the Season 13 premiere.

The new season premieres Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 9 p.m. ET with a supersized 75-minute episode.

This season of “RHONJ” followed the same timeline of past iterations in that it began filming in late May and wrapped just prior to Giudice and Ruelas’ nuptials in August.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that many of the cast members posted photos from an ’80s-themed roller skating party on May 26 as production began.

Viewers hoping Giudice and Ruelas’ extravagant wedding are still in luck, though, as the couple landed a spinoff special documenting their big day.

Who are Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda?

Cabral and Fuda are the first additions to the cast since Aydin and Goldschneider, 46, joined in 2018.

Cabral is a mom of two young kids and describes herself as “Extra AF” in her Instagram bio. It looks like she’ll be on Giudice and Aydin’s side, having recently said on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast that Giudice will be “vindicated” this season.

Rachel Fuda insinuated to Page Six that she and Giudice start off on the wrong foot.

Meanwhile, Fuda looks to be at the opposite end of the drama, as she is friends with Melissa, Josephs and Goldschneider. The mom of two shared on “Virtual Reali-Tea” that Giudice wrote her off “automatically” by coming on as Melissa’s friend.

“I personally felt like I was immediately polarized — even without polarizing myself,” Fuda told co-hosts Evan Real and Danny Murphy.

Who are the “friends of” this season?

Page Six previously reported that Goldschneider had been demoted to a “friend of” role, but she told us at the time that it made “no difference” to her.

“No matter what, I show up,” she told Page Six in June 2022. “I’m filming all the time no matter what you want to call me, so whatever Bravo decides to call me, I’m here and doing the same thing, so it makes no difference to me.”

What do we know about Season 13?

Similar to older seasons of the reality show, this season seems to heavily focus on the rocky relationship between Giudice and the Gorgas.

Page Six previously reported that they had a falling out after several cast members spread rumors that Melissa had cheated on Joe with actor Nick Barrotta. However, sources previously told us that the Gorgas “laughed off” the allegations.

Josephs recently teased on “Virtual Reali-Tea” that Aydin “sure as hell” was behind the gossip – but Giudice didn’t stop her.

When will Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas’ wedding special air?

Despite not attending the nuptials, the Gorgas will be able to see Giudice walk down the aisle when her and Ruelas’ wedding special airs after the season.

Fans got to snag a sneak peek of the wedding special at BravoCon 2022 in October. It is slated to air a week after the Season 13 finale later this year.
