“Vanderpump Rules” fans are waiting for an official announcement about the season 12 cast, but clues are already beginning to leak out.
In November, Bravo announced a complete reboot of the Emmy-nominated reality show with a new cast for season 12.
On December 19, Bravo fan account @bravobravobravobri reshared photos of some of the rumored new cast members, all of whom work at Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR restaurant in West Hollywood. A montage of photos of SURvers was captioned with, “Word on the street is that this is our new cast!” SUR employees Marcus Johnson, Venus, Israel Isaac, Kim Suarez, Natalie Maguire, and Demyana Selem were all tagged in the post.
Bravo does not respond to casting rumors, but the network and production company Evolution Media have been tagged in multiple staff photos posted on the SUR Instagram account.
Past VPR Stars May Be Friends With Some of the New Cast Members
Some of the OG VPR cast members have spoken out about the potential newcomers. On her podcast, “Scheananagins With Scheana Shay,” original cast member Scheana Shay said she thinks one SUR staffer who has been there for a while may be on the new cast.
Shay did not drop the woman’s name, but added, “I do know that she filmed some stuff. …She is someone I tried to bring on the show the last several seasons that I was working at SUR.”
Recurring cast member Ally Lewber name-dropped two SUR staffers while speaking to the New York Post in December. “There’s two girls, Demy and Hannah,” she told the outlet. “I love them, and I’m not sure if they’re part of that, but I suspect they are in some way.”
Peter Madrigal & Lisa Vanderpump Hinted the Main Cast Is Already Set
SUR manager and “Vanderpump Rules” regular Peter Madrigal dished on the potential new cast in a November 2024 interview on the “Vanderpump Robs” podcast. “Oh yeah they all work at SUR,” Madrigal teased of the newcomers. “It’s a dynamic new cast that’s vibrant, but there’s a lot of similarities, let’s put it that way. There’s a lot of drama. …Everyone’s dating each other.”
Vanderpump also talked about the new cast, without mentioning names. In a December 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, she was asked if she “found the new SURvers” for season 12. “Yes, I have an existing group,“ the restaurant owner confirmed. “But there’s always room for people because, you know, it’s West Hollywood. It’s people are always coming through the door, ‘Can I have a job?’”
