Bravo’s Emmy-nominated series “Vanderpump Rules” is set for an exciting new chapter with an upcoming Season 12, featuring a fresh ensemble cast. In a strategic move reminiscent of shows like “Love Island,” Bravo has confirmed that the iconic West Hollywood venues SUR and TomTom will welcome an entirely new group of servers and bartenders.
Executive producer Alex Baskin expressed enthusiasm about carrying the legacy of “Vanderpump Rules” forward, stating, “What a thrill it is to build on the legacy of this series by doing it all over again.” This new cast promises to bring its own set of complexities, dramas, and interpersonal relationships that echo the iconic dynamics of past seasons.
The show gained significant attention last year due to the infamous “Scandoval,” where cast member Tom Sandoval faced backlash after cheating on Ariana Madix with her friend Rachel Leviss. This scandal highlighted the show’s flair for drama and intensified fan engagement. Sandoval’s subsequent comments comparing his situation to major societal issues drew additional criticism, prompting him to issue an apology that he described as necessary due to the insensitivity of his remarks.
As fans eagerly await the unveiling of the new cast and premiere date, Bravo has yet to announce specifics. Production for the next season is scheduled to kick off next year, promising fresh storylines and relationships.
In delightful news for “Vanderpump” fans, former cast member Kristen Doute recently revealed her pregnancy. Following a challenging previous year that included a pregnancy loss, Doute and her fiancé Luke Broderick are elated to embark on this new journey. She shared her experience with fertility specialists and the preparations she underwent, expressing hope and excitement for her first child at 41.
As the “Vanderpump Rules” saga continues to evolve, fans can look forward to an infusion of new energy, along with heartwarming personal milestones from familiar faces, paving the way for a hopeful and entertaining season ahead.
