Denise Richards and her family are getting a reality show
Published on April 20, 2026 EDT They should fight the Baldwins.

Denise Richards is coming back to reality.

E! announced Monday that the Starship Troopers actress and her family will be receiving their own 30-minute “comedic docuseries” that will premiere in 2025. The working title for the show is Denise Richards and the Wild Things, a not-so-subtle nod to one of the actress’ most beloved movies.

Richards was previously the subject of her own reality series, Denise Richards: It's Complicated, which ran on E! from 2008 to 2009. She also spent two seasons on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2019 and 2020.

“My family and I are thrilled to return home to E! Sami and Lola were just 3 and 4 years old when we first shared our story and now we’ve come full circle,” the actress said via press release. “[Producer] Alex Baskin and I met when I joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I loved doing that show. This is the perfect partnership for our family’s series as our lives are full of fun, love and unpredictability, and we can’t wait for the audience to share this adventure with us.”

Richards gave birth to her first daughter, Sami, while she was married to Charlie Sheen in 2004. She filed for divorce from the Two and a Half Men star while she was pregnant with their second daughter, Lola, in 2005. She adopted a third daughter, Eloise, in 2013, and married Aaron Phypers in 2018, who adopted Eloise the following year.

The news comes less than a week after TLC announced its own new celebrity family reality series starring Alec Baldwin, his wife Hilaria Baldwin, and their seven children. They join the likes of The Family Stallone, which currently airs on Paramount+, and countless other past celebrity family shows like The Osbournes, Gene Simmons Family Jewels, Living Lohan, and Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood in offering a peek behind the curtain at already-famous entertainers living their day-to-day lives.

Richards has worked steadily after her Real Housewives era — she’s already starred in over a dozen movies in the 2020s, and has also had substantial stints on shows like The Bold and the Beautiful and Paper Empire.
