Denise Richards’ latest Bravo endeavor has come to a close, but the drama surrounding her personal life, and potential return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is far from over.
According to sources with direct knowledge who spoke to TMZ, Denise Richards and Her Wild Things won’t be getting a second season. But don’t expect any last-minute network scramble. “That was the plan all along,” insiders said, explaining the series was “treated as a limited-run series” and was never intended to continue beyond its debut season.
The timing of the show’s end is especially notable given Richards’ recent split from husband Aaron Phypers. But despite the headlines, Bravo isn’t rushing back to capture more footage. Instead, the network is focused on the current production of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which will continue filming “for the next few months.”
While Richards is not a part of this season’s main cast, producers aren’t ruling out a guest appearance. Sources note that Denise might still “appear in a scene or two,” possibly to address her divorce. “That call hasn’t been made — but we’re told not to rule it out … just yet,” TMZ reports.
Meanwhile, Denise’s daughter Sami Sheen seemed to touch on the family drama just one day before Phypers filed for divorce. In a TikTok video posted Sunday, the 21-year-old OnlyFans creator offered insight into how she navigates unhealthy relationships advice that now reads as incredibly timely.
“You need to ask yourself, if you had a daughter and she was dating a man like this, what would you tell her?” Sami asked. “Boom, you’re like, OK, I would tell her to break up with him, I would tell her to block him, move on, he’s a piece of s–t, he treats her like s–t, and that works for me.”

She added that “it’s so hard and almost feels impossible sometimes to get out of a toxic relationship,” acknowledging the judgment that often comes with going back to someone who isn’t good for you.
Just a day later, Phypers officially filed for divorce at a Los Angeles courthouse, ending their six-year marriage. In court documents, he listed their separation date as July 4 and cited “irreconcilable differences.” Notably, he also requested spousal support and disclosed that their combined monthly expenses totaled $105,000.
While Denise may be stepping away from center stage, for now, it’s clear her story isn’t over. In the world of Housewives, after all, the door is never fully closed.
