The women of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will be back on Bravo for a second season of Garden State-style drama, with shooting starting in a month, Life & Style can report exclusively.

"They're doing a second season, and it's going to be crazier than the first," an insider tells Life & Style. "It's going to explode.

"There's no premiere date, but everyone knows it's going to be a huge hit," the insider adds. "The reason it has taken so long to announce is that once the show became such a hit, the women held out for much bigger paychecks."
