‘Vanderpump Rules’ Returns Next Month with a New Cast: Get Details & Watch the Season 12 Trailer

“Keep us around for another season and we promise to photoshop Ken back into the opening credits.”

Raise your glasses high– Vanderpump Rules is back and SURving up a brand new season with an all-new cast. 

“This season on ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ the deep-rooted, dynamic group of friends, frenemies, and lovers that have been working for Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR for years are shaking things up– from Pumptinis to chaos,” the press release for the new season reads. “Despite new uniforms and a few fresh faces in the mix, the drama remains as messy and complicated as their iconic predecessors.” 

Raise your hand if you’re low-key surprised they didn’t slip a random “Tom” into the cast…

As The Ashley reported last year, it was announced last November that after 11 seasons, ‘Vanderpump Rules’ would be returning to its roots by featuring an entirely new cast, nearly of all whom are employees of Lisa’s West Hollywood restaurant and lounge, SUR. 

Me, when someone asks if I’m excited to see the SUR back alley again…

Bravo’s newly released trailer for Season 12 begins with a montage of memorable lines from the OG series, including one from Lisa describing SUR as the establishment where you “take your mistress.” 

“It’s funny, I did used to say ‘SUR’s where you take your mistress,’ but now it’s probably where you meet her,” Lisa says in the trailer, as fans are reminded of the many (MANY) affairs/cheating scandals that stemmed from the OG cast, including the infamous Scandoval. 

“Take THAT, Scandoval.”

“I’ve always said with my staff, ‘Give my anything, but don’t give me boring,’” Lisa continues, as viewers get their first look at the cast who will be clocking-in for the upcoming season.  

Among the fresh faces making their debut is SUR employee Angelica Jensen– the newest addition to the staff– who makes her grand entrance into what appears to be an employee meeting by completely wiping out in front of her co-workers. 

Close enough– welcome back, Kristen Doute.

Meanwhile, lead-bartender of two years Natalie Maguire is seemingly trying to rehab her reputation, as she refers to her co-workers as “family,” but vents to Lisa and cast member Demy Selem that said family are “all telling me that they hate me.” 

“Natalie is really nice and then she’s crazy,” Kim Suarez explains in the trailer. 

Also making their ‘Vanderpump Rules’ debut in Season 12 is Venus Binkley, who tells viewers that, as SUR staffers, they’re “able to work, party, have sex.” While Venus refers to himself as “the glue that holds the SUR staff together and the confidant everyone turns to for advice,” according to Bravo, he’ll find himself “roped into” some drama among friends in the upcoming season. 

We can’t wait to find out how Venus found himself “roped into” THIS situation.

The Season 12 trailer also shows SUR employees debating over whether a new SUR cocktail is “gay enough” and multiple discussion regarding a “penis pump” belonging to bartender Chris Hahn. 

“I’ll drink comped cocktails to that!”

Also joining the cast in Season 12 is “aspiring actor” (and cousin of Chris) Jason Cohen; non-SUR-employee Shayne Davis; SUR DJ (and boyfriend of employee Kim) Marcus Johnson and “girl next door” Audrey Lingle. 

“This is SUR,” Lisa says at the end of the trailer. “They’re not perfect, but they’re mine.” 

Season 12 of ‘Vanderpump Rules’ premieres December 2 on Bravo. Watch the first trailer below.
