A notable change is underway for the popular reality series Vanderpump Rules, as Bravo has officially unveiled the all-new cast for its upcoming twelfth season. This announcement comes nearly a year after the network revealed that the show would be receiving a significant reboot, following a dramatic season 11 that was heavily influenced by the infamous “Scandoval” scandal that had taken the Bravoverse by storm.
Set against the backdrop of Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR in Los Angeles, season 12 introduces a fresh group of servers ready to take on both the responsibilities and the drama that characterizes the beloved series. The transition from the outgoing cast—including familiar faces such as Lala Kent, Tom Sandoval, and Ariana Madix—has left room for new dynamics and storylines to emerge.
Bravo’s announcement confirmed that the new cast members are expected to be just as entangled in relationships and rivalries as their predecessors. The excitement builds as season 12 is set to premiere on December 2 at 9 p.m. on Bravo, with episodes available for streaming on Peacock the following day.
To celebrate the series’ rich history, Bravo will air a special retrospective titled “Raise Your Glass to 11 Seasons” on November 25 at 9 p.m. This look back promises to feature memorable highlights, previously unseen footage, and an exclusive sneak peek at what viewers can expect from the new season.
The new cast of Vanderpump Rules includes a diverse array of personalities. Venus Binkley, who sees himself as the glue of the group, navigates the complexities of the West Hollywood dating scene while trying to manage burgeoning tensions among his friends. Aspiring actor Jason Cohen brings charm and charisma to the group, while his cousin Chris Hahn juggles ambitions in both acting and music.
Another key figure, Shayne Davis, while focused on his sobriety, finds himself at the center of the show’s conflict as he balances his active social life. Meanwhile, Kim Suarez grapples with her entertainment aspirations, complicated by her tumultuous relationship with Marcus Johnson, whose personal struggles invoke strong reactions from those around him.
The series welcomes Angelica Jensen, who quickly becomes a focal point within the group, along with Audrey Lingle, a vivacious character chasing her dreams and romance. The cast is rounded out by Natalie Maguire, eager to rise through the ranks at SUR, and Demy Selem, the steadfast manager with insight into the restaurant’s every nuance.
Vanderpump Rules continues to capture the complexities of friendship and ambition in the vibrant world of Los Angeles dining and nightlife. As new stories unfold and fresh faces emerge, the series aims to keep its thrilling essence alive while embracing a new chapter. The anticipation is palpable as fans prepare for significant shifts in dynamics and exhilarating new storylines that promise to make this season unforgettable.
