Kyle Richards is setting the record straight after fans began questioning the future of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Speculation started after Bravo announced several Real Housewives renewals during NBCUniversal’s 2026 Upfront, but RHOBH was not officially included on the list. That led some viewers to wonder whether the Beverly Hills franchise had quietly been put on pause.
Kyle, however, is shutting that down.
Under a Bravo Instagram post showing Kyle at the May 11 Upfront event, one fan commented that the series “must be” on hiatus. Kyle responded simply, writing that RHOBH is “not on pause.”
The comment immediately caught fans’ attention, especially since Kyle has been part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since the very beginning. She has appeared on all 15 seasons of the series and remains one of Bravo’s longest running Housewives.
Bravo did announce renewals for several other franchises, including The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, The Real Housewives of Potomac, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, The Real Housewives of New Jersey and The Real Housewives of New York City.
Beverly Hills, however, was not listed in that same renewal announcement. Instead, Bravo referred to RHOBH as having “recently finaled,” since the Season 15 finale had aired just days earlier.
As for the rest of the Housewives universe, The Real Housewives of Atlanta is currently airing, while Bravo announced that Season 20 of The Real Housewives of Orange County will premiere July 9.
While Bravo has not officially confirmed the next season of RHOBH, Kyle’s comment appears to be her way of calming fans down and making it clear that Beverly Hills is not being shelved.
Kyle’s future with the show has been a major topic in recent years as fans watched her navigate her separation from Mauricio Umansky, her fallout with Dorit Kemsley and growing questions about how much of her personal life she is willing to share on camera.
The Beverly Hills cast has also gone through major changes, with Garcelle Beauvais recently exiting the show after saying she felt like she no longer had real friendships within the group.
Kyle, meanwhile, is still firmly in the Bravo mix. She is also set to appear on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, which premieres August 9 and will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Real Housewives franchise.
Kyle will join Lisa Barlow, Gizelle Bryant, Teresa Giudice, Porsha Williams, Luann de Lesseps and Vicki Gunvalson as part of the principal cast, with other Housewives from across the franchise expected to pop up throughout the season.
For now, Bravo fans may still be waiting on an official RHOBH renewal announcement, but Kyle is making one thing clear.
Beverly Hills is “not on pause.”
