Kyle Richards is going country as the newest face on 9-1-1: Nashville, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 57, will guest star on the Thursday, April 2, episode of the hit ABC series.
Richards will play Aubrey, the sister of a woman who is tragically murdered on a 9-1-1 call in Tennessee’s Music City.
The episode, titled “Love to Death,” will focus on what happens when a 9-1-1 call “turns into a murder investigation” with Kimberly Williams-Paisley’s Cammie Raleigh taking “responsibility to solve it,” according to the logline.
Ahead of her stint on 9-1-1: Nashville, Richards reflected on how her time on RHOBH has pulled focus from her work as an actress, which she began as a child star.
“I think people forget [my acting career] because it gets overshadowed with Housewives, but I’m always doing things here and there,” Richards told Parade in April 2025. “I was really happy to come back to the Halloween franchise and do my other guest roles here and there, and I just did something else recently on another show coming out on Netflix.”
She added, “I won’t always be doing reality television, but I hope to always be acting and producing television like I’ve been doing, and that’s what brings me the greatest joy.”
In addition to starring on RHOBH for 15 seasons, Richards has had an uptick in her scripted acting gigs over the past few years. She starred in both Beautiful Wedding and The Holiday Exchange in 2024, followed by a cameo on Wild Cards in 2025.
Earlier this year, Richards played Celeste on three episodes of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer.
Her upcoming cameo on 9-1-1: Nashville comes one week after Kristin Cavallari joined the cast for the Thursday, March 26, episode of the 9-1-1 spinoff series.
In the preview for the episode, Cavallari, 39, found herself in trouble when a beauty mask needed to be drilled off her face.
While many of the guest stars on 9-1-1: Nashville have made the episodes even more fun to watch — like the epic 9-1-1 crossover event earlier this season — it’s the core cast that keep fans coming back for more.
In addition to Williams-Paisley, 54, the Tennessee-based series stars Chris O’Donnell as fire captain Don Hart, Jessica Capshaw as his wife, Blythe Hart, and Michael Provost as their son, Ryan Hart, a firefighter at his dad’s station.
Hunter McVey plays Blue Bennings, a new firefighter and the son of Don and his ex-girlfriend, singer Dixie Bennings, played by LeAnn Rimes.
“I’ve never been a regular on a series. It was juggling all the things of life along with touring and then something that I don’t do normally. It’s not second nature to me,” Rimes, 43, exclusively told Us in February of landing the role of the controversial Dixie. “Every time I walked on set, I was learning, and it was great having [husband] Eddie [Cibrian] with me sometimes, because I’m like, ‘Explain to me, what are they talking about? What are these words that I’ve never heard before because I haven’t been on set in forever?’”
She teased, “Every episode was something new. I would get the scripts, and I’d be like, ‘Oh, my God, can I pull this off? Then you just dive in and do it. I’ve learned a lot from the show.”
9-1-1: Nashville airs on ABC Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
