Get ready, reality TV fans! After over a decade of jaw-dropping drama, cheating scandals, and unforgettable moments, “Vanderpump Rules” is set to shake things up with an entirely new cast for its highly anticipated 12th season. Bravo confirmed this major shift, signaling an end to the era dominated by the original staff of SUR, the West Hollywood hotspot that stole our hearts and kept us glued to our screens.

Lisa Vanderpump, the glamorous owner of SUR, aptly stated, “In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another.” With that in mind, the show bids farewell to beloved original stars who have navigated the highs and lows of life, from birthday celebrations in their early 20s to marriages, pregnancies, and even dramatic divorces. Fans will miss the familiar faces, but don’t worry; the drama is far from over.

If the new season stays true to tradition, expect the fresh cohort of waiters and bartenders to deliver plenty of gossip. Fights in the parking lot of SUR? Count on it! While restaurant work may take a backseat, the interpersonal dynamics are sure to take center stage in this thrilling revival.

“The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears, and everything in between,” said Vanderpump, reflecting on the show’s rollercoaster journey. “I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. Cheers to the next generation of ‘Vanderpump Rules.’”

The original cast, known as the SURvers, began their journey as waitstaff but many made their way into different ventures including other businesses and even spinoff shows. They’ve had their fair share of drama, including numerous firings and rehiring antics. One such scandal, dubbed "Scandoval," saw Tom Sandoval embroiled in a notorious affair that catapulted him into the spotlight as one of the most infamous figures in reality television.

The "Vanderpump" franchise has roots that trace back to 2010, when Vanderpump first emerged as a cast member on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” After winning over audiences with her charm and wit, she launched “Vanderpump Rules” in 2013. The show introduced us to a dazzling cast that included Jax Taylor, Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Tom Schwartz, Lala Kent, Ariana Madix, and Tom Sandoval, who all played pivotal roles in shaping the show's narrative.

As Bravo turns a new page with this cast overhaul, the excitement builds about who these new personalities will be and what fresh conflicts they’ll bring to the table. Filming dates and additional details remain under wraps, but one thing is for sure: fans can expect the unexpected! Will the new cast live up to the outrageous legacy of their predecessors, or will they create a reality TV storm all their own? Stay tuned—your front-row seat to the drama awaits!
