“Vanderpump Rules” Season 12 has been put on pause, with production typically filming in the summer months. The network felt the cast needed a break after two intense seasons, including drama surrounding Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss. The hiatus will allow for new storylines in Season 12, with producers excited to resume filming when the time comes.
Following Sandoval’s scandal, cameras picked back up to capture the drama, cutting off the crew’s planned break. The brief hiatus is expected to bring about fresh storylines for the twelfth season, which will resume filming within the year. The break will also provide key cast members with time to decide their future on the show, including Ariana Madix, who has been considering a return to the series.
Madix, who has been filming “Love Island USA,” expressed her need to be real and authentic on the show for it to make sense for her. Amid her breakup and betrayal from Sandoval, she has been navigating strained friendships with several castmates. Scheana Shay revealed that her relationship with Madix has suffered over the last year due to mixed emotions about Sandoval. Despite the challenges, Shay believes the group can mend things with time and space.
Looking ahead, Shay is hopeful that the group, known for their resilience, can come back together in the future. She acknowledges the difficulties the past year has brought but remains optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation. While the dynamics among the cast have shifted, Shay believes that a Season 12 could provide the opportunity for everyone to come back together. “Vanderpump Rules” Season 11 is currently airing on Bravo every Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST, with fans eagerly awaiting the next season.
