Kyle Richards knows a thing or two about show business and now The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is taking her knowledge behind the scenes for a new development deal at TV Land, E! News has confirmed. The series, which is untitled, is about Richards' life. John Riggi of 30 Rock and The Comeback fame is executive producing the series along with ER's John Wells and Richards.

Sorry to burst any bubbles, but it's not an UnREAL-esque show about life behind the scenes  of a fictional Real Housewives reality show. The TV Land series is set in the 1970s and is inspired by Richards' upbringing—alongside her two sisters—by her single mother. Richards' sisters are Kim Richards, also of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame, and Kathy Hilton.

"I am extremely excited and proud to be collaborating with such a talented and creative team of John Wells Productions, John Riggi, Warner Bros. Television and TV Land to bring this story to life," Richards said in a statement.

In the series, Bonnie Nolan is a 40-year-old woman whose marriage fails and she must learn how to support herself and her daughters. Both Richards and her sister Kim were child actors. Richards appeared on The Little House on the Prairie and in the slasher flick Halloween. She also appeared on ER later in life.

Richards has been a cast member on Bravo's reality series Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since it began.
