Hold onto your pumps, because Vanderpump Rules is getting a major makeover! After a tumultuous year filled with cheating scandals, explosive revelations, and fractured friendships, Bravo is hitting the reset button on the popular reality series.
Season 12 of Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules will be returning but will feature a brand-new cast, leaving behind the familiar faces that have dominated our screens for the past decade. Bravo announced the reboot on November 26th, promising a “new cast” to take over Lisa Vanderpump‘s West Hollywood restaurants. Lisa Vanderpump herself confirmed the news, stating, “In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of Vanderpump Rules.”
What Can We Expect from the Reboot?
Details are still scarce, but here’s what we know so far:
The reboot will feature a completely new cast of aspiring actors, models, and bartenders navigating the glamorous and often chaotic world of West Hollywood’s restaurant scene.
While the OGs won’t be main cast members, some, like Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, and Tom Schwartz, might appear on the spin-off, The Valley.
SUR Restaurant & Lounge, the iconic backdrop for countless Vanderpump Rules moments, will remain the central hub for the reboot.
The queen bee herself, Lisa Vanderpump, will continue to oversee the SUR staff and offer her signature blend of wisdom, wit, and occasional shade.
