Bravo Announces Full Cast Reboot for 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 12

Andy Cohen supports the decision, citing the need to refocus on SUR staff dynamics and overcome cast tensions.

Bravo has confirmed that 'Vanderpump Rules' Season 12 will feature an entirely new cast, with Lisa Vanderpump as the only returning star.
Andy Cohen described the reboot as a necessary move to return the show to its original premise of following staff at Lisa Vanderpump's SUR restaurant.
Cohen noted that most of the original cast had moved on from SUR, with James Kennedy being the last to maintain ties through occasional DJ gigs.
Tensions among legacy cast members, including high-profile feuds, made filming increasingly difficult, further prompting the need for a fresh start.
Production for the revamped 'Vanderpump Rules' is set to begin next year, with the new cast described as a close-knit group of current SUR employees.
