The wait is over as Vanderpump Rules Season 12 is all set to return. However, the twist is that it will be a reboot and thus the old cast members won’t return to the show. As a result, fans of the reality series are eager to delve deep into the reasons behind the big change. So, why were the original Vanderpump Rules cast members replaced? Did they get fired?

Here is everything you need to know about the latest news surrounding the popular reality show.

Why Bravo has replaced the entire Vanderpump Rules cast in Season 12

There have been numerous reasons cited behind the sudden replacement of Vanderpump Rules cast in Season 12.

When fans first learned about the show rolling out Season 12, they were eagerly looking forward to the drama in the next installment. However, they were taken aback when it was revealed that Season 12 will be a reboot with an all-new cast. As a result, there were numerous speculations on social media stating the original cast might have been fired.

As fans are aware, the controversy or “Scandoval” in the previous season turned things upside down for the series. One of the cast members Ariana Madix was taken aback by her boyfriend Tom Sandoval’s affair with co-star Raquel Leviss.

While this scandal reportedly provided a great boost to the show’s ratings, the dynamics between the cast were negatively affected. The vibes between the cast members were reportedly not the same and the production was halted after Season 11 (via People).

While the rumors about the cast getting fired are not confirmed, they were informed about the reboot one day before the news went public. A source close to People revealed that the cast was upset about it but not surprised.

Further, the source claimed that Bravo went ahead with a fresh start with a new cast because “there were so many fractions” between the cast members following the eleventh season. Additionally, a second source stated that salary negotiations with the cast weren’t a reason. The decision of the reboot was a creative call for the show to return to its roots.

While Vanderpump Rules reboot’s cast is being kept under wraps, some of the old cast members will appear in The Valley Season 2. It’s a spin-off of Vanderpump Rules and will include Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay, and Brock Davies.
