Kyle Richards recently admitted that she was desperate to be part of the Netflix reimagining of Little House on the Prairie.
For those unaware, Richards started playing Alicia Sanderson Edwards, the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, on Little House on the Prairie when she was just five years old. The drama, which ran for nine seasons from September 1974 to March 1983, follows author Laura Ingalls Wilder’s family’s move across the Midwest in the late 19th century.
The American actress, socialite, and television personality, who also appeared as a different character for a one-episode arc during season 5, chatted with Entertainment Weekly at The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th premiere event at The Lobster Club in NYC on August 4, 2026.
Articulating her thoughts, Richards told the outlet, “I would love to make an appearance. Don’t think I didn’t ask them! They’re like, ‘Well, it starts before that you’re on the show.’”
“I’m like, ‘Well, whatever. I can do a cameo and play someone else.’ So, yeah, I want to be on the new Little House on the Prairie!’” she said.
Even though The Lincoln Lawyer star has not yet offered a role in the series, she watched the show when it began streaming on Netflix in July of this year.
Richards recalled, “I have watched the new Little House on the Prairie and it’s very touching to me. It’s very nostalgic. I was telling my daughters, I can’t help but walk down memory lane watching that and seeing the man who’s playing Mr. Edwards, who was my dad on the show, and everything.”
“I can remember, as a little girl, and I was only 5 when I started that, what it felt like to put on that clothing — the little hook [I needed] to put my shoes on for the buckles. It’s just really taking me back,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star confessed.
It is pertinent to mention that the Netflix reimagining of Little House on the Prairie premiered with all eight episodes of the season on July 9, 2026. Also, Kyle Richards can be seen on Sundays on Bravo as The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th airs at 9 p.m. ET.
