Vanderpump Rules Season 12: Meet the All-New Cast
Bravo’s hit reality series Vanderpump Rules Season 12 is back with a completely revamped cast. After nearly a year of anticipation, the network has officially revealed the new group of SUR staffers, promising fresh drama, relationships, and chaos under Lisa Vanderpump’s watchful eye.
Following the infamous “Scandoval” scandal in Season 11, which shook the Bravoverse to its core, the reboot introduces a new ensemble of servers, bartenders, and hosts ready to make their mark at the iconic West Hollywood restaurant SUR.
The new season is set to premiere December 2 at 9 p.m. on Bravo, with next-day streaming on Peacock.
New Faces Take Over SUR
Season 12 comes with an updated lineup that aims to fill the big shoes left by fan favorites like Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Brock Davies, Tom Schwartz, Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, James Kennedy, and Katie Maloney. Bravo describes the rebooted cast as a “close-knit group of SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors.”
“This season on Vanderpump Rules, the deep-rooted, dynamic group of friends, frenemies, and lovers that have been working for Lisa Vanderpump at SUR for years are shaking things up – from pump-tinis to chaos,”
Bravo said in the official announcement.
“Despite new uniforms and a few fresh faces in the mix, the drama remains as messy and complicated as their iconic predecessors.”
