Introduction

Vanderpump Rules is about to undergo a significant transformation! Bravo has officially confirmed the renewal of the popular reality series for Season 12, but fans should brace themselves for an unexpected shift in the cast lineup.

A New Direction

In a bold move, Bravo announced that aside from the show's iconic star, Lisa Vanderpump, none of the previous cast members will return for this new season. The network promises a fresh lineup of 'close-knit SUR-vers' who will bring their own unique drama and entangled relationships to the table. As Vanderpump continues to oversee the bustling West Hollywood hotspots, SUR and TomTom, audiences can expect plenty of juicy situations, complex friendships, and, of course, frenemies.

Production Details

Production for Season 12 is set to begin next year, with details about the premiere date and new cast members to be disclosed at a later time. Vanderpump expressed her heartfelt gratitude towards the previous cast, reflecting on the emotional rollercoaster that the last twelve years on air have been. '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,' she stated.

Retrospective Special

While the wrap-up of Season 11 in May featured familiar faces like Katie Maloney, Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, and Lala Kent, fans of the original crew still have something to look forward to. Bravo is planning to air a retrospective special that will highlight a decade of dramatic moments filled with heartbreak and friendship conflicts.

A Glimmer of Hope

For die-hard fans who miss the original cast, there’s a glimmer of hope! Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay, and her husband Brock Davies all made special appearances in Season 2 of The Valley, a spinoff starring Vanderpump Rules favorites Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute.

Conclusion

As we anticipate this new era for Vanderpump Rules, the excitement is palpable. Will the fresh faces capture the same intrigue as the original cast? Only time will tell!
