For over ten years, the staff at the West Hollywood restaurant SUR have been featured on the Bravo reality show “Vanderpump Rules.” This show has captured their cheating scandals, workplace drama, and personal lives as they went from birthday party dramas to marriages and divorces. The original stars are now saying goodbye as a new group of employees will be joining for the show’s 12th season. Lisa Vanderpump, the owner of SUR, mentioned that in the restaurant business, change is constant.
The SURvers, as they are known, started as waiters and bartenders before moving on to other ventures within Vanderpump’s business empire. Some were fired and rehired, while others pursued their own projects. The “Vanderpump” franchise began in 2010 with Lisa Vanderpump’s appearance on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” leading to the spinoff show “Vanderpump Rules” in 2013.
The new season promises more drama and excitement as a fresh group of employees navigate their way through life at SUR. The show’s executive producer, Alex Baskin, expressed excitement about building on the legacy of the series with a new cast. The audience can expect to see a dynamic group of co-workers and friends creating their own stories on screen.
