VANDERPUMP Rules’ new cast has been revealed featuring a Scheana Shay lookalike and a group of young, hot models after the original crew was fired from Bravo. 

There’s a fresh group of faces hitting the West Hollywood bar scene that will be featured in the upcoming season now that Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Lala Kent, James Kennedy and Scheana are officially done with the show.

Stars who were fired from the show years back, including Kristen Doute, Jax Taylor and Stassi Schroeder, are also not expected to be returning to the reboot in any capacity.

The matriarch of the franchise, Lisa Vanderpump, 64, as well as longtime Sur manager Peter Madrigal, 40, are the only two cast members expected to come back. 

The new bunch of Survers mainly appears to be in their 20s - around the same age the original Vanderpump Rules crew was when they premiered in 2013. 

Though the show has become a staple in pop culture and a previous ratings juggernaut for Bravo, interest in the cast declined in recent years - leading to the new crew being brought in.

A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that production is “very excited” about the new cast and feels “confident” the group will provide an entertaining reboot of the beloved reality show. 

“They’re hot, they’re talented and of course, they can be messy. I think they’ll fit right in on Bravo and viewers will embrace them with open arms,” an insider claimed. 

Among the new people who are joining include Demyana Selem - a stunning brunette who strikes quite a resemblance to fan-favorite star Scheana. 

Demyana has shared a series of hot shots to her Instagram page - which include some snaps of her rocking the iconic Sur dress during shifts at the famed restaurant.

Florida native Natalie Maguire is also said to be joining the cast and has shared a number of selfies of her at Sur - also wearing the signature restaurant uniform. 

She also shared a video of her paying homage to the original cast as she sat at the bar where VPR filmed their past show introductions while wearing the skimpy paisley dress that was a staple for the crew in season one. 

Aspiring actress Gabrielle Cagan will be on next season, according to the source, as well as another Gabby - Gabriella Bella. 

Up-and-coming model Venus, who began working at Sur in 2023, will also allegedly be part of the upcoming cast.

The hunky bartender with long, shiny hair has also shared a number of photos in the Sur alley, as well as himself in the restaurant’s uniform. 

The group, along with numerous others said to be joining the cast, have appeared in photos over the past several months partying together and posing with VPR alum Peter. 

The U.S. Sun reached out to Bravo for comment. 

Last month, Lisa opened up about her show completely rebooting with a new cast, telling UsWeekly:  “When you have a restaurant, especially in Hollywood, with a revolving door of beautiful people who are all kind of normally rather large personalities…

“They come to Hollywood for a reason, it’s always complicated. 

“I am sure it’s gonna be very different with these young little minxes when they get to work, but we shall see.”

While manager Peter also commented on the drama, adding: “I know the new cast. Yeah, I know them pretty well. 

“There’s a lot of drama going on at the restaurant. There always is ... So, it’s going to be insane. It’s going to be a little bit intense, absolutely.”

In November 2024, Bravo announced that Vanderpump Rules would be returning for season 12 but this time, with an entirely new cast. 

They promoted the new group as being “close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors.”

Bravo has not yet announced when the new season of Vanderpump Rules will air - though it’s suspected to run around the Summer time.
