Remember when Vanderpump Rules was peacefully progressing through season 10, only to suddenly spiral into chaos? Everyone in your life became obsessed with Scandoval and demanded detailed breakdowns. Your mom even called to ask if you knew about Rachel Leviss (obviously, mother, calm down). Half your friend group locked themselves indoors and binge-watched 10 seasons of VPR in two weeks, only to emerge unhinged and disconnected from reality. And now, we’re about to go through it all over again. Vanderpump Rules is currently in the midst of filming season 11, and things are already dramatic, to say the least. Here’s everything we know about the show, including spoilers!
Rachel Leviss Still Hasn’t Signed On
Rachel, who now prefers to be called by her full name, is out of her mental health treatment facility and is currently negotiating with Bravo. It’s unclear if she’ll appear in season 11, but the rest of the cast is already filming. So if Rachel does sign her contract, she’ll be joining late. Just so you know, Rachel has been keeping a low profile since last season’s drama and hasn’t posted anything on Instagram since then.
The New Season Started Filming on June 28
According to TMZ, the new season began filming on June 28 and as of July 28, it was halfway through. So it’s likely that filming will wrap up around the end of August or early September. So far, the cast has been spotted at various bars and restaurants, and there have been reports of Tom crying.
Ariana Madix Refuses to Speak to Tom Sandoval
Up until now, Ariana and Tom have filmed most of their scenes separately. Although they were seen together at an event in late July, they didn’t exchange any words. TMZ reports that Ariana is simply not interested in talking to Tom.
Get Ready for PuppyGate 2.0
PuppyGate, which originated on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has made its way to Vanderpump Rules. This time, it involves Rachel and James Kennedy’s dog, Graham, who allegedly ended up in a shelter after biting Rachel’s mom. However, Rachel claims that Graham was sent to a rehabilitation center. Vanderpump Dog Foundation got involved and reunited Graham with James, who has since renamed him Hippie.
Drama Over the Cast Hanging With Sandoval
Despite most of the Vanderpump Rules cast declaring their allegiance to Ariana during the last season’s reunion, fans were surprised to see them hanging out with Tom during a trip to Lake Tahoe. Lala Kent and Scheana Shay defended themselves, stating that they were simply taking a photo with a fan and it was all part of filming.
Scheana and Sandoval’s “Spiritual Meditation”
Scheana talked about her discomfort during a recent Amazon Live where she revealed that she was paired with Sandoval for a spiritual meditation healing session. She mentioned her struggle with losing a long friendship due to his actions towards Ariana.
When Will Vanderpump Rules Season 11 Air?
Season 10 premiered in February 2023, but it’s unlikely that Bravo will make us wait that long for the next season. Executive Producer Alex Baskin mentioned in July that a new season would drop in six months, suggesting a January 2024 premiere. However, nothing has been confirmed yet.
That’s all we know for now! With another month of filming to go, we’ll make sure to keep you updated.
