“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” returns next month

The intrigue: The upcoming season will lead up to "a surprising betrayal," according to Bravo.

Zoom in: Monica Garcia, "an ex-Mormon" and a friend of Angie Katsanevas, will join the cast as the newest housewife.

• Garcia is a single mother of four who operates a baby products business.
• "Monica has no problem saying what she's thinking, even if it lands her in hot water with the other women," according to her bio.

State of play: Most of the housewives are returning except for Jen Shah, who is currently serving a prison sentence after pleading guilty in a national telemarketing fraud case, and Angie Harrington.

• In May, Harrington revealed she was leaving the series to care for her 4-year-old autistic son, Today.com reported.

Meanwhile, Mary Cosby, a controversial cast member who departed after appearing in the first two seasons, will return as a "friend" of the main cast.

• Cosby's exit came after she made racist comments comparing Shah to "those Mexican people that make all those drugs" and skipped the season 2 reunion.

Of note: You can catch the premiere on Bravo or stream it on Peacock the next day.
