You can’t post ‘homewrecker’ on Scheana Shay’s Instagram. Here’s why.
While promoting her memoir “My Good Side,” “Vanderpump Rules” star Scheana Shay talks therapy, online trolls and more with USA TODAY’s Ralphie Aversa.
It’s all happening: the next generation of “SUR-vers” is here.
“Vanderpump Rules” Season 12 is set to premiere on Dec. 2 with a new cast.
The reality show, which debuted in 2013, follows the staff of SUR, a Hollywood-based restaurant run by “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alumna Lisa Vanderpump.
After an explosive decade-long run that culminated with the original cast navigating the infamous “Scandoval” affair, Bravo announced in 2024 that it would reboot the show with a new cast.

The new stars now represent current staff members at SUR, bringing the show back to its roots after the original cast had largely moved on from serving “Pumptinis” and goat cheese balls.
Many of the show’s notable alumni, from “Love Island USA” host Ariana Madix to stars on “The Valley” and “Vanderpump Villa,” have not left television, though.
Here’s what to know about “Vanderpump Rules” Season 12 and the new cast.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 12 cast
Lisa Vanderpump will be returning to “Vanderpump Rules” for Season 12. Here are the rest of the new faces that will be featured, according to their cast bios:
- Venus Binkley: “Sees himself as the glue that holds the SUR staff together and the confidant everyone turns to for advice … and the latest gossip. Venus feels out of place in the West Hollywood dating scene, but his friends encourage him to step out of his comfort zone. When he finds himself roped into the drama between Marcus, Kim and Natalie, diplomacy goes out the window and he’s forced to pick sides.”
- Jason Cohen: “A happy-go-lucky server who has charmed everyone at SUR. His infectious personality and good looks have won over a few of the ladies and disarmed many of the men. He works at SUR alongside his cousin Chris and the pair have been attached at the hip since childhood. In between acting classes and shifts at SUR, Jason tries to date a new co-worker, but his attempts backfire.”
- Shayne Davis: “Winds up in the center of the drama at SUR, even though he’s the only one of their friends who doesn’t work there. He’s laser-focused on his sobriety, but that doesn’t stop him from a night out on the town. Between acting, improv and screenwriting, Shayne’s social calendar is close to capacity, but he always makes time for dating. With one foot in and one foot out of the pool of ladies at SUR, Shayne might just make a splash he’s not ready to clean up.”
- Chris Hahn: “A bartender at SUR and has been living in Los Angeles for three years. He moved to the city with a dream of becoming an actor, but pivoted to pursue music and views SUR as a stepping stone to larger opportunities. Single and mingling, Chris is looking for a partner and a long-term commitment. When Chris and Audrey start dating, discussions of a future trip cause complications.”
- Angelica Jensen: “The newest addition to SUR’s staff, but immediately makes waves within the group. She set her sights on modeling, acting and … friends Jason and Shayne, but a game of broken telephone threatens their possible connections.”
- Marcus Johnson: “Has been working at SUR for years, but after the loss of his parents, he has been struggling to focus at work and prioritize his relationship with his girlfriend, Kim. Closest to Venus and Shayne, he leans on his friends to help him move forward. Marcus is all about new beginnings and is shifting his energy to his DJ career and social life, but will need to learn if his fresh perspective and newfound career ambitions will strengthen his relationship or strain it.”
- Audrey Lingle: “All bubbly charm and girl-next-door charisma, making her loved by (almost) everyone on the staff. She’s recently single, chasing new flings and her dream of being on the big screen, but when someone at SUR catches her eye, a certain bad boy might just get the best of her.”
- Natalie Maguire: “Has been SUR’s lead bartender for two years and is ready to level up to bar manager, but Lisa may not be on the same page after her recent outburst. Closest in the group to Venus, the two started at SUR on the same day and have been inseparable ever since. Outside of SUR, Natalie is pursuing her pop music career with full force but still makes time for men, making her love life a major source of friction within the group.”
- Demy Selem: “Has been the manager at SUR for seven years, and as the longest-standing employee among the group, she knows all the inner workings of the SUR employees. Demy is all business when it comes to her role at the restaurant, but being the boss has an impact on her friendships, especially with Natalie. Can she sip the tea with the crew and also call the shots?”
- Kim Suarez: “Works at SUR while juggling her aspirations in the entertainment industry and a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend, Marcus. When others in the group meddle, Kim wonders if her on-again, off-again romance will affect her performance at SUR.”
