yle Richards is planning to return to “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” for season 15, according to a new report.
In May 2024, an insider told the U.S. Sun that returning cast members have been given contracts, including Richards, who is the only original star still on the Bravo reality show.
In addition to Richards, the 14th season of RHOBH featured Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Sutton Stracke, and Bozoma Saint John. Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton were “friends of.” Beauvais has already announced she is leaving the show after five seasons.
The official cast for RHOBH season 15 has not been confirmed by Bravo.
Kyle Richards Was Reportedly Offered an Incentive to Return to RHOBH
According to a production insider, Richards has been unsure about returning to RHOBH for another round but ultimately agreed to one more season. “Kyle was the big question mark for the longest time, but she is coming back,” the source claimed to The Sun. “Producers offered her a big incentive to come back, so she is.”
The insider added that Richards had “long talks with production about what she is willing and not willing to show,” and that she knows she must “step it up next season” regarding details on her dating life.
During season 14, Richards refused to say the name of her friend, Morgan Wade, on camera, even though Wade made several cameos on the prior season of RHOBH.
At the RHOBH season 14 reunion, host Andy Cohen pointed out that viewers expect Richards to show “everything” about her life, including her relationship with Wade. But Richards did not agree.
“I’m not going to, for example, say something that is going to affect my daughters’ lives for a TV show, for a network, for fans, for ratings, ever,” the mom of four replied. “So, if it’s going to hurt somebody that I love and care about, I don’t care.”
Kyle Richards Has Played Coy About Her Future on RHOBH
Bravo
Richards has not confirmed she will return for season 15. In fact, far from it. During an April 8 Amazon Livestream with fans, the Bravo OG was asked when filming for RHOBH season 15 will begin and if she has plans to return to the series, and she gave no information at all.
“Unclear, across the board,” Richards replied.
During a subsequent Amazon Live a few weeks later, she did not confirm her status for season 15 and said was “not sure of those dates” when asked when filming for RHOBH would begin.
In a January 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Richards admitted she was intrigued by the idea of hitting the season 15 milestone. “One day, that day will come where I’ll say, ’OK, enough,'” she said of her status on RHOBH. “I saw something that said, ‘If Kyle does another season, 15 seasons, she’ll be the longest-running Housewife in franchise history.’ There’s kind of a part of me that wants to have that! And then I’m like, “For what, Kyle?! For what!” she added.
