According to many sources, US Magazine included, the Season 13 reunion special won't be filmed until September of this year (as opposed to August). On top of that, filming of the next season likely won't start until early 2022, which is several months past their normal production start date. Theoretically, this could mean that fans won't get Season 14 until early summer 2022 or later, but why is Bravo dragging their feet on filming?

According to The Sun, there's chaos behind the scenes due to the fact that ratings are plummeting. All About the Tea puts that number at 764,000 for the April 6 season finale, which puts it in the top 3 lowest-rated episodes in the show's history. There are a couple of reigning theories as to why this is, but needless to say, it could cause some major changes to the upcoming Season 14 cast.
