Kyle Richards is used to life in the spotlight as an original star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills but in an unexpected career move, she has gone back to her acting roots.

The Lincoln Lawyer season four made its Netflix debut today, Thursday, February 5, with fans sitting on the edge of their seats following that shocking series three cliffhanger.

A number of new faces have been introduced this time around, including Izzy's (played by Jazz Raycole) girlfriend Grace (Gigi Zumbado) and NCIS legend Sasha Alexander as FBI Agent Dawn Ruth.

But an additional star which no one had on their 2026 bingo cards was The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills legend Kyle Richards.

With Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) behind bars for murder, it is up to Lorna Crane (Becki Newton) to keep Haller and Associates afloat.

Lorna takes on every case that she can as the company is in desperate need of the money and luckily in walks Kyle Richards as the glamorous Celeste Baker.

Lorna was recommended by a previous happy client with Celeste seeking a divorce lawyer who will fight tooth and nail on her behalf.

Richards only featured in a handful of the 10-episode season but her scenes were some light-hearted relief given Mickey's distressing situation.

Much like her Lincoln Lawyer character, Richards split up from her husband of 27 years, Mexican real estate broker Mauricio Umansky in 2023.

When asked if divorce was on the cards for the mother-of-four on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, Richards replied: "We have had conversations that we had not had during this season since then.

"We still haven't filed, but we've had conversations since then about what it's going to look like and all of that."

Since 2010, the 57-year-old's life has been very public given that she stars in the hit Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and is now the only original cast member left.

But before her days on the dramatic reality series, Richards was an actress, kickstarting her career at around six-years-old, playing Alicia Sanderson in Little House on the Prairie.

She is also best known for playing Lindsey in the horror franchise Halloween, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis.

Some of her other parts over the years have been in Down to Earth, ER, Days of Our Lives and How I Met Your Father.

The Lincoln Lawyer is available to watch on Netflix.
