Look, we all know that Vanderpump Rules does not shy away from a healthy serving of drama, but we did not see an entirely new cast on the menu for Season 12.
Announcing the news in late November, Bravo revealed that every cast member, except for Lisa Vanderpump, had been scrapped from the beloved reality show, with the production company stating that the upcoming season would welcome a “new group of close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors.”
Speaking on the news, Lisa shared, “The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears, and everything in between. I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of Vanderpump Rules.”
Echoing the restaurant owner’s sentiments, executive producer Alex Baskin wrote, “With profound appreciation for the original group and their iconic run, we can’t wait for the audience to see a dynamic new group of co-workers and friends make their way through life together.”
With the OG lineup now officially sacked from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star’s restaurant empire, fans are eager to uncover who will be taking over their roster on the show.
What is Vanderpump Rules about?
ICYMI, Vanderpump Rules is basically a real-life soap opera set in the world of Los Angeles’ high-end restaurant scene. The show revolves around former The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump and her staff across her three restaurants/bars – SUR, Pump Restuarant, and Tom Tom Restuarant and Bar.
While a glimpse into the dining habits of the rich and famous may be entertaining enough for some, Vanderpump Rules ups the ante with a serious dose of drama. From cheating scandals to friendships that turn into full-on feuds, there is never a quiet moment on shift.
