The success of the show has resulted in the spin-off Vanderpump Rules: Jax And Brittany Take Kentucky, featuring cast members Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright.[1]

Overview

Vanderpump Rules follows Lisa Vanderpump's employees at SUR, a restaurant in West Hollywood, as they work on building their futures in show business and become entangled in interpersonal drama. The series initially centered around new server Scheana Marie and her relationships with established employees: Stassi, Katie, Kristen, Tom and Jax.

Andy Cohen later announced during the February 4, 2013, Watch What Happens Live episode that there would be a Vanderpump Rules reunion. The reunion was filmed on February 9, 2013.[2] It was announced in April 2013 that the series had been renewed for a second season.[3] The second season debut was a two-hour crossover episode with the fourth-season premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on November 4, 2013.[4] The second season reunion was filmed on January 10, 2014.[5] Vanderpump Rules was renewed for a third season in April 2014.[6] The new season premiered on November 3, 2014.[7]

The show was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on November 2, 2015.[8] The show was later renewed for a fifth season.[9] On September 26, 2016, the trailer and cast were announced, along with the premiere date of November 7, 2016.[10][11] On January 9, 2017, the tenth episode of the fifth season of Vanderpump Rules titled "Summer House Rules"[12][13] served as a cross-over preview to Summer House.[14][15]

On April 11, 2018, Bravo renewed the show for a seventh season,[16] which premiered on December 3, 2018.[17]. During the seventh season, Vanderpump partnered with cast members Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval to open a new bar in West Hollywood called Tom Tom.[18]

The eighth season premiered on January 7, 2020, with five new cast members joining the show.[19] The season reunion was recorded virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On June 9, 2020, it was announced original cast members Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder were fired, following accusations by former co-worker Faith Stowers, who claimed that the two women filed a false police report against her for a crime she did not commit. Additionally, it was announced Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni would not return for the ninth season, following past racist Twitter posts.[20]
