Kyle Richards isn't ready to hang up her acting shoes just yet as The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will be starring in a Housewives-based holiday movie. Before Kyle was a housewife, she was a well-known child actress. She had a main role in the hit TV series Little House on the Prairie and the infamous horror film Halloween. Kyle's acting may have taken a back seat in the last 30 years, but now she is ready to get back to her passion.
Even though Kyle was a successful actress as a child and teen, she entered back into the spotlight when she joined RHOBH in 2010. She and her older sister, Kim Richards, signed up for the show together, alongside fellow former castmates Lisa Vanderpump, Camille Grammer, Taylor Armstrong, and Adrienne Maloof. However, Kyle is the only housewife from the original cast still in the middle of the drama and stirring the pot with the new ladies of RHOBH.
On Thursday, Peacock announced via People they will be releasing a film, titled The Real Housewives of the North Pole, which will arrive on the streaming service later this year. Kyle, who is in a feud with LVP, will be starring in the holiday film alongside Betsy Brandt, who is well-known for her role as Marie on Breaking Bad. The reality star, who will also be appearing in the Real Housewives mash-up, shared the news via Instagram this week to express her excitement for the new project. "So happy to be working with this incredible actress @betsybrandt," she wrote in her caption. "I can't wait for you all to see it!" The ladies will star as Trish and Diana, a.k.a. the Christmas Queens of North Pole, Vermont.
The story will focus on Trish (Kyle) and Diana (Besty), who have been the winners of a holiday decorating competition in the town of North Pole, Vermont, for the past nine years. However, things turn awry when a feud between friends sparks national attention by a journalist who hopes to make a name for herself by exposing the feud with an article titled, Real Housewives of the North Pole. Production started this week in Utah as Kyle revealed on Instagram, she is currently there to film the movie. Ron Oliver is set to direct the holiday film, while Tippi Dobrofsky, Neal Dobrofsky, and Spyder Dobrofsky will write and executive produce the project.
Kyle's new holiday film will be available for streaming just in time for the winter season. Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are excited to see an OG housewife star in a film based on the concept of the reality series. Maybe other well-known Housewives will make an appearance.
