Bravo Announces Complete Recast of 'Vanderpump Rules' for Season 12
The network shifts focus to a new generation of SUR staff, marking the end of the original cast's 11-season run.
- Bravo has confirmed that 'Vanderpump Rules' will feature an entirely new cast for its upcoming 12th season, focusing on fresh faces at Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurants.
- The decision follows the fallout from the 'Scandoval' cheating scandal, which fractured relationships among the original cast and gained widespread cultural attention.
- Critics and fans have noted that the show had been losing its original charm as cast members grew older and transitioned into successful careers outside of the series.
- The original cast, which debuted in 2013, became known for its chaotic, unfiltered drama centered on the lives of aspiring actors, musicians, and servers at SUR.
- While the reboot aims to revitalize the series, fans and commentators reflect on the show's legacy as a genre-defining reality TV phenomenon.
