Is Vanderpump Rules Pumped Up for Season 12? Here's the Dish on the Show's Future




 Is Vanderpump Rules Officially Done?


For over a decade, Bravo's reality TV show Vanderpump Rules has taken viewers on a wild ride behind the scenes of SUR, a trendy restaurant in West Hollywood. The series follows the lives of the restaurant's staff as they navigate love triangles, career ambitions, and explosive friendships. But recently, whispers of cancellation have been swirling around the show, leaving fans wondering if season 11 might be the last hurrah.

Fear not, Vanderpump devotees! Lisa Vanderpump herself has stepped in to quell the rumors, assuring fans that the show will be back for season 12.  This comes as a welcome relief after a dramatic season 11 that left the cast reeling.


Taking a Breather: Why Vanderpump Rules Needed a Break


Let's be honest, season 11 of Vanderpump Rules was a doozy. The "Scandoval," a cheating scandal involving Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss, left the cast embroiled in major drama. Imagine if your friend group's messy situations were filmed for national television! It's no wonder everyone involved needed some time to heal and process everything that went down.

It allows the cast members to move on from past drama and develop new storylines.  As Bravo honcho Andy Cohen puts it, "We used to do this all the time with the Housewives. We would say, 'You know what? Let's put cameras down for, you know, four or five months and come back to them.' And they will have lived life. Things will be different."
