‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 12 Cast Guide: Meet The New Group That’s Replacing OGs Like Lala Kent And Scheana Shay 

You know that it’s their time. After more than a decade of heartbreak, scandal, and epic moments, Vanderpump Rules has officially turned the page on the cast that made its first 11 seasons as iconic as they were. Today, Bravo announced the show’s highly anticipated Season 12 cast, which brings in a completely new slate of close-knit SUR-vers from Lisa Vanderpump‘s West Hollywood restaurant. In short, we’re going back to where it all started, baby!

The drama appears to be ever-present in the trailer that was dropped by the network today. From mactors (model/actors) to penis pumps, this new crew is already showing a ton of potential. While it’s certainly going to be hard to live up to the chaos of Jax Taylor’s first run on VPR, or the messiness of Scandoval, men with commitment issues, employee love triangles, and SUR back-alley arguments are already shaping up to be the focal points of this season. I guess some things just never change!

Vanderpump Rules Season 12 premieres on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, with Andy Cohen and Vanderpump hosting a Raise Your Glass to 11 Seasons lookback special on Tuesday, Nov. 25 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

In the meantime, keep reading to learn all about the new Vanderpump Rules cast:

   Venus Brinkley is everyone’s favorite confidant. Not only can he offer sound advice, but he also knows all of the gossip going on at SUR. In the trailer, we see Venus open up to Vanderpump about his sexuality, before sharing a smooch with Marcus Johnson, who is in a turbulent relationship with Kim Suarez.

2. Jason Cohen

   Jason Cohen’s Instagram bio describes him as a certified personal trainer and a model. But some Netflix/reality TV junkies may recognize him and his cousin Chris Hahn (see below) from their stint on the 2022 dating reality series, Dated & Related. Over at SUR, however, Jason is recognized as the charming waiter whose interest in a new co-worker might backfire on him.

3. Shayne Davis

   Per the trailer, it sounds like Shayne Davis has a hard time committing to one girl—sound familiar, longtime Vanderpump Rules fans? While Shayne does not work at SUR, his relationships with some of the women who are employees at the establishment are sure to become a source of drama this season. When he’s not out on the prowl, Shayne is focused on his sobriety, and his career in acting, improv and screenwriting.

4. Chris Hahn

   Remember that penis pump I mentioned before? Apparently, Chris Hahn is an advocate of using one. “Athletes stretch, I pump. We all have a routine,” he confesses in the trailer. Chris is a bartender at SUR, who, outside of work, is pursuing a music career and a romance with Audrey Lingle.

5. Angelica Jensen

   Angelica Jensen—founder of Stellica Swim—is the newest addition to SUR. Admitting in the trailer that she often finds herself in co-worker relationships, Jensen sets her sights on Jason and Shayne. However, a broken game of telephone threatens to destroy their connections, per a press release provided to Decider.

6. Marcus Johnson

   We’ve got another DJ on our hands. Following the loss of his parents, Marcus Johnson—a longtime employee at SUR—is having a hard time balancing his work life, budding DJ career, and relationship with co-worker Kim Suarez. How will the growing pressures affect his romantic life (and potentially his friendships)? We’ll just have to wait and see.

7. Audrey Lingle

   Audrey Lingle is an aspiring actress who’s known for her “bubbly charm and girl-next-door charisma.” Having recently gotten out of a relationship, her new romance with bad-boy, and fellow SUR co-worker, Chris Hahn, is sure to stir up some drama.

8. Natalie Maguire

   Natalie Maguire is SUR’s lead bartender, but her chance at moving up to bar manager might be at stake after a recent outburst leaves Vanderpump questioning her capabilities. With Natalie being described as “nice” but “crazy” in the trailer, could we be swapping out Crazy Kristen for Crazy Natalie? Perhaps she can channel it all into her pop music!

9. Demy Selem

   Demy Selem has been the manager at SUR for seven years, making her the longest-standing employee out of the entirety of the new cast. At work, Demy takes her job as the boss seriously, which could put her at odds with her friends. But as someone whose time at the restaurant very well may have overlapped with OG stars like Scheana Shay and Brittany Cartwright, Demy will likely know how to navigate a stressful situation or two. When Decider caught up with former star Ally Lewber this year, she said, “I’ve met [Demy] a few times and I do love her. She’s super sweet.”

10. Kim Suarez

    Like many of her co-stars, Kim Suarez has big dreams of working in the entertainment industry. However, her on-again off-again relationship with Marcus Johnson poses a distraction to her current job at SUR—and we all know how Vanderpump feels about bringing personal issues to the workplace.
