“Vanderpump Rules” is returning for Season 12 — but with a brand-new cast.The new show will featureLisa Vanderpump and a new group of “close-knit SUR-vers who are as complicatedly involved with one another as their iconic predecessors.”Season 12 begins production next year, but a premiere date and the cast has yet to announced.“What a thrill it is to build on the legacy of this series by doing it all over again,” executive producer Alex Baskin said in a statement. “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.”Lala Kent reacted to the news on social media in a heartfelt post.“Where to begin,” Kent, 34, penned via Instagram on Tuesday. “I was a young girl from Salt Lake City who made her way to L.A.
I would introduce myself as Lauren, but because my childhood best friend referred to me as Lala, my nickname quickly stuck.”Reflecting on joining the show for Season 4 in 2015, Kent said “Sur was a place that became home.”“I found myself not only sipping on vodka sodas there, but behind a hostess stand… it still to this day is the most intimidating job I’ve ever had.
A short time later the opportunity to be on a show called Vanderpump Rules landed in front of me. I have such mixed feelings right now.
It’s no secret I do not like change. This is the exception. I want to say thank you for rocking with us for so many years.”The reality star added, “This show changed my whole life.
