Leah Remini is reportedly joining Season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
The “King of Queens” alum signed a contract to join the star-studded cast, consisting of icons Kyle Richards and Erika Jayne, production sources told TMZ Wednesday.
Page Six reached out to reps for both Remini and Bravo for comment, but didn’t get an immediate response back.
TV personality Justin Sylvester teased that a big name would be joining the “RHOBH” cast during an interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” released Wednesday.
Sylvester told hosts Danny Murphy and Evan Real that the “name would blow everybody’s heads,” but wouldn’t reveal more details.
The move comes weeks after Remini, 56, signed with talent agency WME for representation to expand her brand across several platforms, including TV, movies and podcasting, Variety reported earlier this month.
Remini, however, isn’t a stranger to reality TV and previously starred in her own series, “Leah Remini: It’s All Relative” from 2014 to 2015.
The TLC show followed Remini and her family’s everyday lives, including her ex-husband, Angelo Pagán, and their daughter, Sofia Bella, 22. Remini and Pagan tied the knot in 2003 and split in 2024.
The reality show ended after two seasons.
Additionally, Remini starred in and produced the series “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.”
In the show, the former Scientologist interviewed former members of the controversial church in a three-season docuseries that aired from 2016 to 2019.

However, Remini is best known for her role as Carrie Hefferman in “The Kings and Queens,” which also starred Kevin James as her on-screen husband, Doug Hefferman. The series ran for nine seasons from 1998 to 2007.
Remini, meanwhile, will be the newbie on “RHOBH” alongside “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Tracy Tutor.
Tutor announced she would be joining the Bravo series via an Instagram announcement last week.
“Well … the secret’s officially out. 💎,” she captioned a glammed-up photo of herself. “I’m joining the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I could not be more excited for this next chapter.”
“Beverly Hills is home,” Tutor added. “I’ve raised my girls here, built my career here, and now apparently I’ve decided to let you all even further into my life. 😂.”
She added, “Excited? Very. Nervous? A little. Likely to get into some trouble? Absolutely.”
