Andy Cohen is lookin squarely forward.
With a giant smile on his face.
As beforehand reported, Bravo shall be bringing Vanderpump Guidelines again for Season 12 — with a serious twist.
There shall be a wholly new solid.
In line with a current press launch, Lisa Vanderpump will quickly lead a brand new group of “close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors” on upcoming episodes of this beloved franchise.
The brand new season begins manufacturing subsequent 12 months and a premiere date and solid shall be confirmed on a later date.
“What a thrill it is to build on the legacy of this series by doing it all over again,” government producer Alex Baskin stated in a press release late final month.
“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.”
How does Cohen really feel about this monumental change?
“Bravo announced, or word got out, that they are revamping the show and I have to say, this is, first of all, the absolute right thing to do,” the host and government stated in the course of the December 2 episode of his SiriusXM present.
“I am so impressed with how production kept the show going over the last, I’m gonna say four years, when slowly but surely none of them were working at SUR.”
Cohen went on to be crucial of the storylines that have been emphasised over the previous few seasons.
“The entire point of the show morphed and changed as it went on, and it wound up that James Kennedy was the only one with any kind of footprint at SUR, because he was DJ-ing there occasionally and now he’s gone on and he’s got a residency in Vegas and he’s having great success and they’re all having good success outside of SUR,” defined Cohen.
Vanderpump Guidelines debuted in 2013, starting as a by-product of The Actual Housewives of Beverly Hills earlier than evolving into its personal fairly fashionable franchise.
The present hit its popular culture nadir on Season 10 after we realized that Taylor had cheated on Ariana Madix together with her good buddy and colleague Rachel Leviss.
It’s just about recognized just for this scandal at this level.
This sequence initially adopted Vanderpump and the-then employees at her restaurant SUR (Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval, Kristen Doute, Jax Taylor and Stassi Schroeder) as they tried to navigate skilled and private battle.
All through the years, the Vanderpump Guidelines solid has grown to incorporate Tom Schwartz, Ariana Madix, James Kennedy, Lala Kent, Brittany Cartwright and lots of others.
“Vanderpump rules, you will forever be that girl,” Madix stated in her assertion after the reboot information was introduced. “i used to be up til 4am searching for all the fitting pics and the fitting phrases, however there’s no submit or caption that would ever encapsulate all the things.
“I’m without end grateful to have been part of such an unimaginable cultural phenomenon…
“thank you especially to the fans. you’ve been the constant over the last decade your love and support is what I’ll miss the most about it ending. you made this show what it is. to the fans who have shown up for us, old and new, it’s all because of you that we are here. im feeling at peace with closing this chapter and im excited for everything that is to come. i don’t know that these were the best days of our lives, but they were definitely something special.”
Added Jax Taylor on social media:
“Vanderpump Guidelines will all the time have part of my coronary heart. From what began as a loopy group of buddies working collectively to make ends meet to turning into such an iconic sequence and popular culture phenomenon…so many recollections each good and dangerous.
“Many highs, probably more lows…but I’m so thankful to have worked with such an incredibly talented team @thealexbaskin @evolutionusa @nbcuniversal. This isn’t goodbye…more like…see ya soon….on MY show- but for real this time.”
And LaLa Kent:
“It’s no secret I don’t like change. That is the exception. I wish to say thanks for rocking with us for thus a few years. This present modified my complete life. I’m unbelievably grateful for each second. I’m unbelievably grateful for Bravo, for NBCU, for our crew, the whole solid, and most significantly all of you.
“We rocked this bitch until the wheels fell off.”
