"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alums Adrienne Maloof and Camille Grammer are reportedly set to return to the show in season 5.

The pair is set to return to the drama-filled reality TV series and filming has already begun, most recently at veterean housewife Kyle Richards' annual white party, according to TMZ.com.

Last year Maloof and Grammer, who both joined in season 1, abruptly left the show ahead of the season 3 reunion show and they refused to participate in further filming. Some reports claimed they were fired, other sources insisted they initiated their departures.

"To my loyal fans . . . It was time to exit RHOBH," Maloof tweeted at the time. "The show served as a wonderful platform, stay tuned!"

The 52-year-old mother of three was at the center of controversy throughout season three after her co-star Brandi Glanville exposed a previously well kept family secret. The startling revelation resulted in threats of a lawsuit and the vast majority of cast members siding with Glanville, 40.

"Even though Adrienne is contractually obligated to go, her lawyers have told her she doesn't have to because Bravo breached the contract by revealing details of the surrogacy [secret] of her twin sons," a source previously told Radar Online regarding the reunion show taping.

"If Adrienne thought it would be a healthy environment, she wouldn't be considering not going," the insider explained.

Maloof's departure reportedly triggered a boycott of the show, with several Hollywood lawyers and managers allegedly banding together to advise potential cast members of the risks associated with the show.

Bravo TV producers have reportedly since re-signed Maloof on for a new season as well as Grammer, who became a recurring cast member after season 2. They have both already begun filming scenes for season 5.

New reports claim season 4 additions Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud are not retuning to the hit reality TV show. Maloof and Grammer will reportedly replace them however they will not be full-time housewives.

Also set to return in season 5 is Glanville, sisters Kim and Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and Yolanda Foster.
