Filmed in (you guessed it) Beverly Hills, while the cast of this Real Housewives series has changed drastically since the show first premiered, the concept has always remained pretty much the same, securing the Beverly Hills version of as the most popular Real Housewives franchise (and one that a certain royal family member loves to watch).

In the most recent series of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the series focused on eight central cast members – most of whom will return for season 11. 

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast:

  • Garcelle Beauvais - A busy single mother who also happens to be an in-demand actress in Hollywood, Garcelle joined the show full time in 2020 for season 10.
  • Erika Girardi - American singer Erika found fame with her dance club anthems in the early 00s and joined RHOBH in 2015. She recently announced that she and her husband, Tom Girardi, are divorcing after 21 years of marriage.
  • Dorit Kemsley – Fashion designer Dorit has her own swimwear line and is married to the former Vice-Chairman of Premier League football club Tottenham Hotspur, Paul Kemsley.

  • Denise Richards – Former Bond girl Denise Richards has been part of the cast of RHOBH for the last two seasons of the show, but season 10 saw a particularly tough storyline for Denise in which a shocking rumour caused the women to question her and she was left struggling to defend herself. 
  • Sutton Stracke – Introduced to the show in season 10 as a friend of Lisa's, the show followed newly-divorced Sutton as she opened a new high-end boutique.

Who is not returning for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11?

Denise Richards' rep has confirmed that the actress and former model will not be returning for season 11 of the show.

After appearing for the last two seasons, the star explained on daytime talk show The Real that after finding the last season 'challenging' to film, she was ready to move on to other projects:

"I had a great first season. The second season was challenging," Denise admitted.

“I just thought it was the right time for me to go and to just keep focusing on the other projects that I have. I had a great time. I will always be a fan and I will continue to support the show.”

Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, who was pregnant with her third child during season 10 of the show, is also not returning for season 11.

Taking to Instagram, the accountability coach revealed: "I don’t want to bore you but I figured I got to give you a little update on what’s going on. I recently found out that my contract as a Housewife is not being renewed."

Who will be on the new season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills instead?

Lisa Rinna, Garcelle Beauvais, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne and Kyle Richards are all expected to return for the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
