‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 12 Unveils Release Date and Trailer
Bravo has officially announced the premiere date for Season 12 of the reality series “Vanderpump Rules.” The new season is set to air on December 2, 2023. Alongside this announcement, the first trailer for the season has been released, showcasing a new cast and fresh stories.
Overview of “Vanderpump Rules” Season 12
“Vanderpump Rules” has been a staple of reality television since its debut on January 7, 2013. The show is centered around the lives of the waitstaff at SUR, a restaurant owned by Lisa Vanderpump in West Hollywood. Initially gaining fame as a spin-off of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” it focuses on the personal and professional dramas of its cast.
Reasons for the Reboot
Following a major cheating scandal dubbed “Scandoval” during Season 10, the series faced significant cast tensions.
