Vanderpump Rules' twelfth season will feature a brand new cast of friends, frenemies and lovers that have been working for Lisa Vanderpump at SUR for years.
The new cast of SUR-vers is comprised of Venus Binkley, Jason Cohen, Shayne Davis, Chris Hahn, Angelica Jensen, Marcus Johnson, Audrey Lingle, Natalie Maguire, Demy Selem, and Kim Suarez.
Bravo also revealed a special, Raise Your Glass to 11 Seasons, will take a look back at a decade of Vanderpump Rules' most iconic moments and never-before-seen footage.
The special will air on Tuesday, November 25 at 9PM ET/PT on Bravo and include a first look at the upcoming season.
Vanderpump Rules began filming its twelfth season in April.
Bravo announced in November 2024 it had ordered a twelfth season of Vanderpump Rules and that the show would star Lisa and a brand new group of close-knit SUR-vers with complicated ties and pasts.
The former Vanderpump Rules cast -- Ariana Madix, James Kennedy, Katie Maloney, Lala Kent, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, and Tom Schwartz -- had learned of the casting shakeup only 24 hours before Bravo made its big announcement.
Bravo revealed that the revamped cast is a "deep-rooted" and "dynamic" group of people who are "shaking things up -- from pump-tinis to chaos."
The network added, "Despite new uniforms and a few fresh faces in the mix, the drama remains as messy and complicated as their iconic predecessors."
Venus apparently views 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," Bravo teased.
Jason, an aspiring actor, works at SUR alongside his cousin Chris, whom he's been attached to at the hip since childhood.
"Jason is 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," Bravo said.

"In between acting classes and shifts at SUR, Jason tries to date a new co-worker, but his attempts backfire."
Shayne apparently finds himself at the center of drama at SUR, even though he's the only one of the friend group who doesn't work at the restaurant.
"He's laser-focused on his sobriety, but that doesn't stop him from a night out on the town," Bravo shared of Shayne.
"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, Jason's cousin, is a bartender at SUR and has been living in Los Angeles for three years. He apparently moved to California with the dream of becoming an actor.
"But [he] pivoted to pursue music and views SUR as a steppingstone to larger opportunities," Bravo said.
"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 is the newest addition to SUR's staff who immediately made 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," the network teased.

Marcus is closest to Venus and Shayne, and 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," the network said.
Audrey, who is recently single, is apparently loved by almost all the staff at the restaurant.
Bravo described Audrey as a bubbly and charming woman with girl-next-door charisma.
"[She's] 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," Bravo said.
Natalie 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," the network teased.
"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 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?" Bravo shared.
And Kim 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," Bravo teased.
