Vanderpump Rules is getting ready to raise the bar!
On July 25, Bravo released a teaser on X for the upcoming 12th season, eight months after they announced they were rebooting the series.
In the clip, Lisa Vanderpump is seen hanging up a “Help Wanted” sign at SUR as she says in a voiceover, “The faces may have changed… but my rules, they’ve stayed the same.”
The video then transitions to show the phrase, “It’s time for a shift.” While no release date has been confirmed, the clip also teases the new season will be “coming soon.”
“New shift. Same rules. #PumpRules Season 12 shakes things up soon,” the caption reads.

The teaser comes after Bravo confirmed in November that a new cast would be joining SUR and TomTom owner Vanderpump, 64, for season 12.
The new cast includes a “close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors,” the network announced in a press release at the time. However, no names have been announced.
“The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears and everything in between,” Vanderpump said in the release. “I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of Vanderpump Rules.”

Alex Baskin, executive producer of the show’s production company 32 Flavors, added: “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.”
Vanderpump Rules premiered in 2013 with stars Kristen Doute, Scheana Shay, Jax Taylor Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval, Stassi Schroeder, Peter Madrigal, Mike Shay, Laura-Leigh, Frank Herlihy and Ariana Madix. Over the years, cast members have come and gone, with others like Brittany Cartwright, Lala Kent and Rachel Leviss joining the series.
After the reboot was announced, a source close to the situation told PEOPLE that the legacy cast learned about the decision one day prior to the news going public.
“They’re understandably upset that it’s all coming to an end, but no one was necessarily surprised,” the insider said at the time. “It’s more relief that they finally have an answer.”
Since “there were so many fractions” among the cast following the season 11 reunion, the source revealed that Bravo felt they needed to move on with a new group.
“There had been a long pause in production, and nothing had really changed among the cast since the reunion,” the source added. “Everyone was still stuck in their feelings and refusing to bend. The network felt there was no path forward with the group in that capacity.”

A second source noted that money did not play a factor in Bravo’s decision to start fresh, noting that the network opted for a reboot before discussions of salaries even began with the former cast members.
“It was completely driven by creative,” the insider explained. “There weren’t any negotiations happening between the cast and the network where money was even discussed.”
