Meet the Vanderpump Rules Season 12 Cast
For the first time in the show’s history, Vanderpump Rules is introducing a completely new group of cast members, signaling a reboot of the franchise. While Lisa Vanderpump remains the anchor of the series as the owner of SUR, Season 12 centers on a younger generation of staffers working at the iconic West Hollywood restaurant.
The Season 12 cast includes:
- Venus Binkley
- Jason Cohen
- Shayne Davis
- Chris Hahn
- Angelica Jensen
- Marcus Johnson
- Audrey Lingle
- Natalie Maguire
- Demy Selem
- Kim Suarez
Lisa Vanderpump teased the dynamics between the new group, saying, “There are a few people that have worked there for years that obviously come with their own problems, and then there are some new people joining in. They’re different — you can say different.”
What’s in the Vanderpump Rules Season 12 Trailer
Bravo dropped the official trailer on November 3, 2025, giving fans their first glimpse into the drama that awaits.
The trailer opens with Lisa Vanderpump’s cheeky narration:
“It’s funny. I did used to say SUR is where you take your mistress, but now, it’s probably where you meet her. I’ve always said with my staff: Give me everything — but don’t give me boring.”
From there, the teaser explodes with energy — screaming matches, flirtations, and plenty of workplace chaos.
Some of the standout moments include:
- Natalie Maguire declaring, “I’ve worked here for two years. This is my family, and they’re all telling me that they hate me.”
- Kim Suarez calling out Natalie, saying she’s “nice and then crazy.”
- Venus Binkley summarizing the group perfectly: “We work, we party, we have sex.”
- And the unforgettable moment when Audrey Lingle finds a “penis pump” — with Chris Hahn hilariously responding, “Athletes stretch. I pump. We all have our own routine.”
The trailer confirms that Vanderpump Rules Season 12 will stay true to its roots: mixing romance, betrayal, and absurd workplace drama inside one of Los Angeles’s most famous restaurants.
Why Vanderpump Rules Has a New Cast
Following the explosive Scandoval affair that rocked the show in Season 10, the original cast — including Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, and Scheana Shay — gradually stepped back from SUR and the show’s original premise.
A source told People that Bravo wanted to “recalibrate” the series, returning it to what made Vanderpump Rules a hit in the first place: “A group of young, ambitious people trying to make it in Los Angeles while working at a restaurant hotspot.”
Executive producer Alex Baskin echoed the sentiment, saying:
“What a thrill it is to build on the legacy of this series by doing it all over again. With profound appreciation for the original group and their iconic run, we can’t wait for the audience to see a dynamic new group of co-workers and friends make their way through life together.”
What to Expect From Vanderpump Rules Season 12
Season 12 is set to explore the messy, high-energy lives of SUR’s new staff, capturing their relationships, ambitions, and scandals both inside and outside the restaurant. Expect emotional confrontations, love triangles, and Lisa Vanderpump’s signature mix of mentorship and tough love.
As the new cast navigates their careers in Los Angeles’s nightlife, fans can look forward to fresh storylines — but with the same dramatic flair that made Vanderpump Rules a Bravo staple.
