Season 12 of “Vanderpump Rules” is gearing up for its return to Bravo—and this time, it’s going to look a whole lot different. After and up and down season 11 following Scandoval, the long-running reality hit said goodbye to several original cast members, including Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, and Tom Schwartz.
But don’t worry—the drama isn’t going anywhere. A brand-new cast is reportedly ready to take the reins, and by the sound of it, things are about to get wild.
Meet the Rumored New Cast of the ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Reboot
Lisa Vanderpump and SUR manager Peter Madrigal will be the familiar faces returning this season, alongside an entirely new group of young, attractive SUR employees. The upcoming season is already being described by insiders as “insane” and “messy”—in other words, exactly what “Vanderpump” fans crave.
According to a source who spoke with The U.S. Sun, producers are “very excited” about the new cast and believe fans will embrace the fresh lineup without hesitation. The insider added that the new group brings the perfect mix of energy and chaos to keep the show’s legacy alive.
“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,” the insider revealed.
So who are these fresh faces?
All reportedly in their 20s, the new cast includes:
- Demyana Selem a brunette who fans are already calling a Scheana Shay lookalike.
- Marcus Johnson a model set to bring some serious heat to SUR.
- Natalie Maguire, a Florida native who is already connected to the VPR universe—she’s followed by Scheana on Instagram.
- Gabrielle Cagan and Gabriella Bella, two aspiring actresses who’ve recently been spotted working at SUR.
- Venus, an up-and-coming model who’s been flooding his social media with photos and videos from the restaurant.
What to Expect from Season 12: ‘Insane’ Drama & a Fast-Moving Production
Peter Madrigal, SUR’s longtime manager who has appeared in every season, recently shared some behind-the-scenes insight into the upcoming season. Speaking to People in early January, Madrigal teased that he knows the new cast well and assured fans that there’s plenty of drama already brewing.
“I know the new cast. Yeah, I know them pretty well,” he explains. “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 December, Vanderpump reveled she had already handpicked the new servers, bartenders, and hosts for the show’s next chapter.
“I have an existing group,” Vanderpump told Entertainment Tonight. “But there’s always room for people because it’s West Hollywood. It’s always people coming through the door, ‘Can I have a job?’ ”
What’s more impressive is how quickly things moved—Bravo only confirmed the departure of the original cast on November 26, and Vanderpump had already made her selections by the following month.
Production on the “Vanderpump Rules” reboot is happening just as quickly. An insider spoke to TMZ and revealed the show was set to go into production in early April.
