AceShowbiz - Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" is facing a significant shakeup, as the entire cast has been replaced with a new group of SUR-vers. The announcement sent shockwaves through the reality TV world, prompting host Andy Cohen and the original cast members to share their reactions.
Andy Cohen, the executive producer of Bravo's "Housewives" franchise, expressed his cryptic thoughts on the cast shake-up. He took to X, formerly Twitter, to post a reference to the show's theme song "Raise Your Glass" with the caption, "These were the best days of our lives..."
Lisa Vanderpump, the owner of SUR and the namesake of the show, expressed her gratitude to the departing cast. "The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears, and everything in between," she said in a statement. "I can't thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all."
Executive producer Alex Baskin shared his excitement about the new cast. "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," he said.
Ariana Madix, a fan favorite, took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt message about her time on "Vanderpump Rules". "Vanderpump Rules, you will forever be that girl," she wrote. "To the fans who have shown up for us, old and new, it's all because of you that we are here."
Lala Kent, another popular cast member, shared her mixed feelings about the cast shake-up. "I was a young girl from Salt Lake City who made her way to L.A.," she wrote. "I have mixed feelings about this ending because I do not like change."
Katie Maloney posted a promo picture from the show's early seasons on her Instagram Stories, captioning it, "It's a mixed bag. But I wouldn't change a thing."
Filming for the new season of "Vanderpump Rules" is set to begin next year, but the cast and premiere date have yet to be announced. The original cast members have been featured on the show for 11 seasons, making their departures a significant turning point for the franchise.
