The cast of 'Real Housewives of Orange County' is about to look a whole lot different, with some very familiar faces NOT returning for the new season ... TMZ has learned.
Production sources tell us the show is set to start production in July, but cast members Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Kelly Dodd-Leventhal, and Elizabeth Lyn Vargas will not be a part of the production.
It's currently unclear if it was a decision by Bravo to not bring the women back or if it was a mutual thing .
