Lisa Vanderpump herself is the sole returning cast member on "Vanderpump Rules" S12, amid the continuing fallout of Scandoval and, just as likely, spiraling pay demands. Truth be told, "Vanderpump Rules" has long borne little resemblance to the show that launched in 2013, so this reboot feels like a necessary shift back to the future. And the new generation absolutely understands the assignment, with one SUR-ver managing to get the boot a mere two episodes in.
Read on as we explain how to watch "Vanderpump Rules" season 12 from anywhere with a VPN.
"Vanderpump Rules" S12 premieres at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesday, December 2 in the U.S..
• U.S. — Bravo via Sling or next day on Peacock
• Canada, U.K. — Hayu
• Australia — Binge
🔥 Watch anywhere — Norton VPN deal
Judging by the sneak peek (embedded below) and the new cast's bios, we're not exactly short of less-than-exemplary candidates. More to the point, it's a wonder that LVP's West Hollywood restaurant functions at all.
Take the following exchange between newest recruit Angelica Jensen and Shayne Davis (not a staff member but a close friend of Jason Cohen), who stops by regularly to try his luck with the ladies. "I found your Hinge profile and it says that you believe in monogamy," Angelica remarks, to which Shayne responds, "That wasn't updated." S12 also sees Angelica threaten to stab lead bartender Natalie Maguire, and pit Jason and Shayne against each other.
On further consideration, everything's pointing towards Angelica being the first out of the door.
Kim Suarez' strained relationship with Marcus Johnson forces friends and colleagues to pick sides, which forces manager Demy Selem, the longest-serving employee in the new generation, to reassess her relationship to the others. Meanwhile, bartender Chris Hahn, a cousin of Jason, is half-man, half-penis pump. SUR alley, naturally, form the backdrop to plenty of the drama.
Here's how to watch "Vanderpump Rules" season 12 online from wherever you are.
