RHOBH season 16 is taking shape, and newcomers Leah Remini and Tracy Tutor are wasting little time getting to know their new castmates.
Leah and Tracy were both photographed at Rachel Zoe’s late-summer party after confirming their additions to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”
Tracy shared a group photo on Instagram that showed her and Leah alongside Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke, Kyle Richards, Rachel, Dorit Kemsley, Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly.
The gathering came shortly after Bravo and Cocktails broke the news before both newcomers publicly confirmed their involvement in the upcoming season.
Tracy announced her RHOBH role on August 19, while Leah followed several days later. Executive producer Andy Cohen made it clear that both additions had been a long time coming.
“This has been a long time coming!” Andy commented on Tracy’s Instagram announcement.
When Leah made her own casting news official, Andy was even more direct, writing, “AT LONG LAST.”

The latest gathering offered another look at how the RHOBH season 16 cast is coming together.
Kyle, Dorit, Sutton and Bozoma are all returning after appearing on season 15, while Leah and Tracy are joining the group as its newest additions.
Kathy and Jennifer have also continued spending time with the cast as filming moves forward.
One familiar face was noticeably missing from Rachel’s gathering: Erika Jayne. However, Erika has had another major commitment keeping her away from some of the recent cast events.
While her RHOBH costars have been filming, Erika has been on the road with Kesha.
On August 31, Erika celebrated the end of her tour run in an Instagram post.
“The final night of The Freedom Tour with [Kesha]!! Thank you for this incredible experience!!! I will cherish it forever,” she wrote.
Erika also told followers she was performing her “last show” in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Although she did not reveal exactly when she planned to reunite with her RHOBH costars, Jennifer hinted that it could happen soon.
“See you soon!” Jennifer commented.

Rachel’s party isn’t the only recent RHOBH event Erika missed.
The cast also traveled to Ghana without her, where Bozoma recently married Keely Watson.
With Erika now finished with her touring commitments, her schedule could open up as filming on season 16 continues.
Meanwhile, the cast has undergone some significant changes. Leah and Tracy have officially joined the group, while Amanda Frances exited after initially being connected to the upcoming season.
The season 16 group now includes longtime cast members Kyle, Dorit, Erika, Sutton and Bozoma alongside newcomers Leah and Tracy, with Kathy and Jennifer continuing to appear with the women.
