It’s the end of an era.
Bravo announced on Tuesday that Vanderpump Rules will continue with Season 12 after all — but with an entirely new cast! Yep. That means all the fan-favorites and love-to-hate-’em villains alike — Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, James Kennedy, Tom Schwartz, and Lala Kent — have all been fired! The only person keeping their job is obviously Lisa Vanderpump. It’s still called VANDERPUMP Rules.

So who’s taking all of their places? The show will return to the original format, following the lives of the employees from LVP’s restaurants. Bravo stated in the official announcement:
“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 new cast will be announced later, and production on the new season will start next year. This is likely a huge disappointment to fans who watched this group on our screens for years. However, it is not a surprise given the bad blood between many of the cast members after Season 11. Sigh…
Lala clearly was waiting for the news to hit. She posted a tribute to the show on Instagram. Take a look (below):
Cheers to the cast of VPR! They really gave us some iconic moments over the past 11 years! Perhaps they can one day move to The Valley with the rest of their former cast members to continue their reality TV journeys. What are your reactions to the news, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments.
