Lisa Vanderpump is spilling the tea on the new season of Vanderpump Rules, and it's going to be a wild ride!
Speaking at BravoCon 2025, the 65-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum revealed that season 12 is bringing a fresh vibe. "It's definitely got a different flavor," Vanderpump said.
"It's new, it's funny, it's fast. You're going to see. But yeah, we're not trying to recreate it. We did that, and I think we did that well. So this is something different".
The new cast, which includes Venus Binkley, Jason Cohen, Shayne Davis, Natalie Maguire, Angelica Jensen, and more, is shaking things up at SUR. "They’re a wild bunch," Vanderpump said. "They’re a lot of fun. I like them all, for all their naughtiness and hi-jinks.”
According to her, the new cast is "naughtier, sexier, funnier" than the original stars, and she's excited to see where their stories go. "Everyone has some kind of history," she said.
"We go quite deep emotionally with some of them. It’s very different to Vanderpump Rules where the problems became very serious. It became a more adult show."
The decision to reboot came after the original cast's dynamics became too complicated, with people not wanting to film together. "I always said, 'I don’t want to go down on a sinking ship,'" Vanderpump explained.
She hopes the new cast will bring plenty of drama and entertainment. "I hopes this time next year" that her new cast members are all a "pain in the ass" because then she'll know "the show is a success".
