Bravo’s acclaimed series “Vanderpump Rules” is set for an exciting new chapter as it prepares for Season 12 with a fresh cast. Recently announced by Bravo, the show will introduce a new group of close-knit colleagues from the iconic West Hollywood venues, SUR and TomTom, where the drama, relationships, and complex dynamics will unfold once again.
Executive producer Alex Baskin expressed enthusiasm for this new direction, stating, “What a thrill it is to build on the legacy of this series by doing it all over again.” The show aims to capture the essence of the original series while presenting viewers with a dynamic group facing their own unique challenges and interactions.
“Vanderpump Rules,” which originally launched in 2013 as a spinoff of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” rose to prominence last year amid the infamous “Scandoval,” where cast member Tom Sandoval’s cheating scandal captivated audiences and sparked widespread conversation. In light of this drama, it was reported that Sandoval and former partner Ariana Madix faced difficulties filming together after the scandal unfolded.
Moreover, Sandoval recently faced backlash for controversial comments he made, likening the fallout from his scandal to historical events, to which he later issued an apology, acknowledging his words as “inappropriate and ignorant.”
As fans eagerly await the details of the new cast and premiere date, production is expected to commence in the coming year.
On a heartwarming note, Kristen Doute, an alumna of “Vanderpump Rules,” announced her pregnancy on the same day as the reboot news, sharing her journey towards motherhood after experiencing a pregnancy loss last year. Doute, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Luke Broderick, said their decision to conceive followed consultations with fertility specialists, showcasing resilience and hope in starting a family.
In summary, while “Vanderpump Rules” transitions into its next season with a fresh ensemble, it also remains connected to its roots and previous cast members’ ongoing stories, promising to deliver both nostalgia and new excitement for viewers.
