Larsa Pippen Is Filming For 'The Real Housewives Of Miami' Reboot
Take two! Larsa Pippen is reportedly returning to The Real Housewives of Miami.
The 46-year-old is filming the RHOM reboot, which is in development at Peacock, a representative for Pippen told PEOPLE.
Pippen starred in the original series alongside Joanna Krupa, Alexia Echevarria, Marysol Patton, Lea Black, Adriana de Moura, Cristy Rice, Lisa Hochstein, Ana Quincoces and Karent Sierra. Patton's mom and RHOM fan favorite Elsa Patton — also known as "Mama Elsa" — passed away in 2019.
The show ran with only three seasons from 2010 until 2013. Larsa appeared in the first season in seven episodes, the Daily Mail noted.
The reboot was first announced in February, with Andy Cohen serving as the executive producer. "I have really been trying to get Peacock to pick up Miami," Cohen said in November during an appearance on the Everything Iconic With Danny Pellegrino podcast.
"I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this. I don’t know where we are with that," Cohen said at the time. "The problem with the third season was that the ratings were declining as it went on and they went down for the reunion, which is usually the opposite of what happens."
The Bravo head honcho said he thought the ratings impacted the decision to not renew RHOM — but still, fans want a fourth season.
Pippen and Hochstein were recently spotted in Miami with Jennifer Lopez’s ex-fling Casper Smart, according to Radar Online.

This time, a more diverse cast is wanted, an insider said. "They have started interviewing a bunch of different women," a source told Us Weekly, who added that they are "speaking to women from all different backgrounds."
The source explained that a few potential cast members had been interviewed "several times" already and the network is getting "very close to narrowing down a cast."
"They are trying to get a cast together," Black added. "I haven't said anything to anybody because it's not my place."
In 2019, Patton hinted that she would be open to another season. "You never know," she teased when a fan asked about the possibilty after the network aired a marathon of the reality series.
Meanwhile, Hochstein previously hinted that a new season is "very possible" — and de Moura told a fan the cast would return "if the stars would align."
The reboot comes on the heels of Pippen's fling with Malik Beasley's screeching to a halt. Beasley "was going through a lot and the timing wasn’t right" for their relationship to work, a source said of the split. While they seemed almost inseparable, insiders said "many people assumed" their relationship "was serious when in fact it was not."
