Lisa Vanderpump Teases Revamped 'Vanderpump Rules' Cast After News That Lala Kent Is 'In Talks' To Film For 'The Valley

   

Lisa Vanderpump hinted at the possibility of “Vanderpump Rules” revamp after news broke that Lala Kent is in early talks to join “The Valley.”

The “Pump Rules” matriarch appeared on Wednesday’s episode of “Call Her Daddy” where host Alex Cooper pitched a “fresh start” for the hit Bravo series, suggesting a “whole new cast” of SUR employees.

“I would die to watch kids back at SUR trying to make it in acting or modeling and get back at it,” Copper said, referring to Vanderpump’s restaurant in West Hollywood, Calif.

Vanderpump, 63, hesitated for a second before saying that she has “many” of those kinds of kids, and coyly added, “You know what? From your mouth to God’s ears, that might be a thought.”

“I can’t say, but it’s not necessarily your pitch. Somebody might’ve gotten there before you,” she teased.

Earlier in the episode, Cooper asked Vanderpump if she thought the show could continue considering the “friend group is a disaster” after the dramatic reunion.

“Do I think it will be back? Yes. Do I think it needs to breathe? Yes. Am I totally busy at opening another restaurant? Yes. So I think let’s just give it a minute, let everybody live their life,” she said.

Season 11 of “Vanderpump Rules” aired the final episode on Tuesday, and fans have since been wondering if the show will get renewed.

Notably, Ariana Madix caused a divide within the group after she refused to have a heart-to-heart on-camera conversation with ex Tom Sandoval about his affair with Raquel Leviss.

Lala Kent has not spoken to Madix or Katie Maloney after expressing her frustrations over Madix’s unwillingness to film with Sandoval.

Scheana Shay also admitted to Page Six that she’s struggling with Madix and it the reunion “didn’t necessarily help bring us closer together.”

The network has yet to make an announcement about casting or renewal of the hit Bravo show, but Page Six previously broke the news that Kent, 33, was thinking about joining the show’s spinoff show “The Valley.”

“Lala is in early talks to join ‘The Valley.’ She is very connected with that cast. Those girls are her very good friends and mom crew,” a source told us earlier this month.

The insider clarified that Kent would film both shows if the opportunity arose, since “Vanderpump Rules” is “her home.”

The new show has gained popularity since its premiere in March and stars former “VPR” stars Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute, as well as Luke Broderick, Nia Sanchez, Daniel Booko, Janet and Jason Caperna, Michelle and Jesse Lally, Zack Wickham and Jasmine Goode.

Former “VPR” star Stassi Schroeder revealed in 2022 that the spinoff –– then dubbed “Valley Rules” –– was initially supposed to star the entire older cast and start in 2020. However, her own firing and the COVID-19 pandemic caused production to pause on both shows.

“They were going to slowly transition us and keep ‘Vanderpump Rules’ with a whole new cast of people who work at the restaurant, and so the rest of us would transition into this,” Schroeder said on “The Morning Toast” podcast in April 2022.

“The way that ‘Vanderpump Rules’ started, where it was like ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ and it transitioned into ‘Vanderpump,’ that’s what we were going to do with my wedding,” she said, referring to her 2020 wedding to husband Beau Clark.
