'VPR' Fans Buzzing Over Rumored Reboot Cast as Lisa Vanderpump Unveils New Restaurant Staff

Fans of Vanderpump Rules are buzzing with excitement. A new photo from Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant SUR has people talking about a possible reboot of the show. On June 22, SUR's official Instagram shared a group picture. The caption was cryptic: "'Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.' SURvers ❤️." What caught fans' eyes was that Bravo TV and Evolution USA, the show's production company, were tagged. This simple post set off a storm of speculation; could this be a peek at a brand new cast for Vanderpump Rules?

Fans didn't hold back in the comments. One wrote, "Are yall getting what i'm getting from this????" Another said, "I say VPR should go back to SUR and start with a fresh cast. The OGs can pop in here and there to keep it nostalgic." Many seemed excited about the idea of new faces on the show. Some eagle-eyed fans spotted a familiar name in the group. Lou Zapata, daughter of Vanderpump's long-time business partner Guillermo Zapata, was in the photo. This added another liter of fuel to the reboot rumors, as per OK! Magazine.

But not everyone was thrilled as some fans pointed out a lack of diversity in the potential new cast. "Um… why is everyone white or passing apart from one? It's 2024. Yikes," one user commented. Another added, "They gotta add some melanin magic first and then they got a show!" This isn't the first hint about a possible reboot. Vanderpump herself dropped a clue in May. On Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, she spoke about the possibility of new staff at SUR becoming the focus of the show.

On the same podcast, Vanderpump even played the game 'Never Have I Ever' with the host, and they spilled a lot of tea. Cooper gave a suggestion that detailed a situation when someone knew that their partner was cheating. "Never have I ever known a classmate's partner was cheating," to which the 63-year-old TV personality said, "Yes, I have," as per Parade.

Vanderpump Rules has been on a break and some of the original cast members have moved on to a new show called The Valley. Others, like Raquel Leviss, left after big scandals. Meanwhile, Vanderpump remains a significant figure in the show's narrative despite her departure following the #puppygate scandal. Her ongoing influence and ability to stir controversy are evident in recent events involving Teddi Mellencamp, another former cast member.

In an episode of Two T’s in a Pod, Mellencamp criticized Vanderpump for suggesting that Kyle Richards was exploiting dating rumors for publicity. Mellencamp defended her friend Richards, calling Vanderpump's comments a 'low blow' and hinting at potential secrets in Vanderpump's past. "I think all of us that were together on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' knows a lot of skeletons that are in Lisa's closet and I don’t see people throwing those out in interviews."
