Teresa Giudice still has a few months left on her sentence, but the incarcerated Housewife has been wheeling, dealing, and planning her return to the public eye from the day that she turned herself over to authorities.

Teresa’s prison photos reportedly sold in the high six-figure range, and she’s managed to keep in contact with Andy Cohen and the rest of her Bravo bosses.

We already knew that Teresa would return to The Real Housewives of New Jersey following her early release (currently slated for sometime in December), but now it looks as though fans won’t have to wait three months for another taste of Tre.

Moments ago, Bravo announced that The Real Housewives of New Jersey: Teresa Checks In will debut on October 8.

As you can see in the trailer above, the show will feature regular phone calls from Teresa. 

Though we never see Teresa on camera in the preview clip, Radar Online is reporting that the show will feature "family prison visits," during which viewers will get to see what kid of toll prison life has taken on the mother of four. 

In addition, Teresa is reportedly hoping for a massive payday from her first post-prison interview.

“She wants at least $200,000 because there are many creditors Teresa needs to pay off," says one insider. "The ideal situation would get competing magazines to start a bidding war pushing the number over $200,000.”

That’s right – Teresa remains as delusional as ever. The source adds, “It seems very unlikely Teresa will get the huge paycheck she wants."

Never change, Tre.
