Leah Remini will join “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” as a full-time cast member for its 16th season, alongside new recruit Tracy Tutor. The additions refresh the line-up of Bravo’s most-watched “Housewives” series after sustained fan calls for changes, while retaining most of the existing cast.

Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John, Rachel Zoe and Sutton Stracke are returning full-time, with Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly returning as friends of the cast; Amanda Frances will not return. Filming has begun, with Remini set to start in Los Angeles later this week, while Tutor joins after appearing on “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles”; the season follows a tense reunion and continuing public fallout from Dorit Kemsley’s divorce.
