Denise Richards is headed back to reality television, not with fellow "housewives," or with her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, but with her daughters.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, who still had guest appearances on the show as recently as last year, announced this week that a new E! reality show focused on her family will be airing next year.
Tentatively titled Denise Richards the Wild Things, an apparent nod to her 1998 movie Wild Things, the show will follow her life with husband Aaron Phypers, who she married in 2018, plus daughters Sami, 20, and Lola, 19, who she shares with her ex-husband, plus Eloise, 12, who she adopted in 2011.
In a statement announcing the exciting venture, Denise shared: "My family and I are thrilled to return home to E!" noting: "Sami and Lola were just three and four years old when we first shared our story and now we've come full circle. [Executive producer] Alex Baskin and I met when I joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I loved doing that show."
The Drop Dead Gorgeous actress first ventured into reality television 16 years ago with Denise Richards: It's Complicated, which documented her life amid her divorce from the Two and a Half Men actor; it ran for 17 episodes across two seasons, from 2008 to 2009, and was produced by Ryan Seacrest.
The former couple married in 2002, though they had a bitter split in 2005 while she was pregnant with Lola, and their divorce was finalized the following year.
