Peacock has announced the official cast for Season 4 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, and OG Housewives Caroline Manzo and Alex McCord will be two big hits from the past.
The New Jersey matriarch, 61, and the NYC alum, 49, are joined by Eva Marcille, 38, and Phaedra Parks, 49, of Atlanta, Beverly Hills veterans Brandi Glanville, 50, and Camille Grammer, 54, and Orange County pros Vicki Gunvalson, 60, and Gretchen Rossi, 44.
Morocco is currently gearing up for the ladies of Bravo to bring their world-class drama overseas to Marrakech after the hit Thailand spin-off series ruffled its feathers for the third season.

Bravo made the announcement by cheekily referencing an iconic line raised against Alex McCord by Housewives MVP Luann de Lesseps in the fourth season of the New York City franchise.
The network tweeted: “What is this, is there a buffalo coming down the stairs? No, it’s the official cast of #RHUGT 4 and they’re going to Marrakech!’
Glanville, Parks, Gunvalson, and Marcille are all returning to Ultimate Girls Trip as they starred in The Berkshires in season two.
But it’s Manzo, McCord, Grammer and Rossi who have sparked a collective uproar from Housewives fandom, as the four women have long been absent as official cast members of their respective franchises.
Matriarch of New Jersey: After serving maternal power for the first five seasons of RHONJ, Caroline left the table-flipping franchise in 2013 to headline her own series called Manzo’d with Children, which aired for three seasons
Alex is back! McCord is perhaps the biggest blast of the past as she held an apple for the first four seasons of RHONY before leaving the show in 2011
Gretchen is Game: Fans of RHOC are surely in for an update on Gretchen Rossi, 44. The blonde bombshell has spent almost a decade in the Bravo Wilderness
Beverly Hills veteran: Since officially losing her diamond in 2012, Camille Grammer, 54, has appeared on and off as the “friend” of the RHOBH cast
“CAROLINE MANZO RETURNS,” trumpeted one fan on Twitter.
“ALEX OMFGGGGG,” tweeted one “McCordian” — aka Alex McCord lover.
After serving maternal power for the first five seasons of RHONJ, Caroline left the table-flipping franchise in 2013 to headline her own series called Manzo’d with Children, which aired for three seasons.
Alex is perhaps the biggest blast of the past, having held an apple for the first four seasons of RHONY before leaving the show in 2011.
She left the country with her legendary husband Simon van Kempen, 58, and their two wild sons – Francois, 20, and Johan, 18 – and moved Down Under in Simon’s native Australia.
“LIttle MCCORDINATORS WE WON,” tweeted one Alex superfan.
Atlanta MVPs: RHOA alumni Eva Marcille (right, 38) and Phaedra Parks (left, 49) will return for another season of Ultimate Girls Trip after being fan favorites in season two
Not her first rodeo: RHOBH’s Brandi Glanville (left, 50) and Vicki Gunvalson (right, 60), an Orange County connoisseur, will both return after bringing drama to the second season of Ultimate Girls Trip
And when it comes to Gretchen Rossi, fans of RHOC are certainly in for an update.
The blonde bombshell has spent nearly a decade in the wilds of Bravo raising her daughter with the infamous Slade Smiley, 49, – Gretchen’s partner of 14 years.
But the inclusion of Camille Grammer might make for the most fireworks, as Kelsey Grammer’s ex-wife is a longtime nemesis of Beverly Hills bomber Brandi Glanville.
Since officially losing her diamond in 2012, Camille has appeared on and off as the “friend” of the RHOBH cast.
“We don’t like each other,” Glanville said of Grammer during an episode of the Virtual Reali tea podcast. ‘But… let’s do this again, let’s have fun.’
The fourth season of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip is expected to premiere later this year.
