Hunting Housewives will follow four friends Karla Dodds (Richards), Rebel Carron-Whitman (Leakes), Joli Symons (Johnson-Herjavec) and Sharell Bouvier (Ford) who take a “much-needed spa retreat weekend away from their husbands, children and busy schedules when suddenly they find themselves downed in a plane crash.”

“With no knowledge of basic survival, the housewives must use their wits and whatever is in their designer bags to try to survive in the rugged wilds. When they realize they are not alone, even frenemies must align to outwit their hunters,” the synopsis states.

For Richards, the announcement comes after she made a surprise return to RHOBH in November. She announced her departure from the series following two seasons in September 2020.
