Vanderpump Rules season 11 will go down in history as one of the most explosive, dramatic and brilliant seasons of reality television of all time. However, Bravo has had enough, announcing that season 12 of the beloved reality show would get a complete cast shakeup to avoid another round of delicious on-screen disaster.
In a statement announcing season 12, Bravo made it very clear that we wouldn’t be seeing the return of Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Raquel Leviss, Katie Maloney, James Kennedy, Lala Kent, Ally Lewber, Brock Davies and Scheana Shay. Instead, the series would hark back to its origins with “close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors.”
“Under Lisa Vanderpump’s watchful eye, the West Hollywood mainstay SUR — and now TomTom — welcomes the next batch of servers, hosts and bartenders rife with plenty of drama, situationships and frenemies,” the statement read.
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills alum was excited to welcome in a new era for the series.
“The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears and everything in between,” she said.
“I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of Vanderpump Rules.”
In case you need a reminder, the series recently blew up after it was revealed that Tom Sandoval had cheated on his long-term partner Ariana Madix with their co-star Raquel Leviss — and the cameras captured it all. The controversy was quickly dubbed “Scandoval” and it completely changed the show and the relationships within the cast.
Former cast member Lala Kent has taken to Instagram to comment on the news with a carousel of pics from her time on the show.
“This show changed my whole life. I’m unbelievably grateful for every moment,” she wrote.
“I’m unbelievably grateful for Bravo, for NBCU, for our crew, the entire cast, and most importantly all of you. We rocked this bitch until the wheels fell off.”
Here’s to a new era — it’ll be a hard act to follow, that’s for sure!
