Season 9

[edit]

In December 2020, following the departures of several cast members, and due to challenges associated with COVID-19 pandemic mitigation efforts, production on season nine was put on hold 'indefinitely'.

On April 27, 2021, the network confirmed that the show would return for a ninth season, and that Lisa Vanderpump, Maloney, Sandoval, Scheana, Madix, Schwartz, Kennedy, Kent and Leviss would be returning to the show as cast members.[28]

In April 2021, Dayna Kathan confirmed that she would not be returning for the ninth season, and suggested that production on the show was to resume in the near future.[29]

Production for the ninth season started in early May 2021 and ended on July 18, 2021. Kennedy and Leviss' engagement party served as the finale.[30][31]

Filming for the tenth season started on July 13, 2022, and ended on September 17, 2022.

On December 4, 2022, Randall Emmett revealed that he would not return for the tenth season, and said he "never wanted to be on" the show in the first place.[34] On December 29, 2022, Brock Davies announced that he would appear on the show in a reduced role during the tenth season.[35] The official cast for the tenth season was revealed on January 9, 2023. Aside from Burnett, who shifted from regular cast member to recurring cast member, and Davies's shift from regular cast member to guest appearances, the full cast returned. Former cast member Kristina Kelly returned in a supporting role, joined by Ally Lewber, the girlfriend of James Kennedy.[36] Doute, Madrigal and Todd made guest appearances.[37]

On March 3, 2023, a source close to production revealed that Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix had split after Madix found out Sandoval had been having an affair with Raquel Leviss. In light of the news, cameras went back up to capture the immediate fall out.[38] On March 7, Leviss filed a temporary restraining order (TRO) against Scheana Shay, alleging Shay had punched her after learning of the affair.[39]

The reunion was recorded on March 23, 2023. The TRO prohibited Shay and Leviss from being within 100 yards of one other. As a result, they filmed at separate times.[40][41] Leviss filed to drop the TRO on March 24; however, the March 29th court date remained on the docket. The TRO was dismissed on March 29 after Leviss failed to appear in court.[42][43]

In May 2023, it was announced that the series had been renewed for an eleventh season.[44]

Season 11

[edit]
Main article: Vanderpump Rules season 11

Filming for the eleventh season started on June 28, 2023, and ended on September 1, 2023.[45][46]

On August 17, 2023, it was confirmed that Raquel Leviss would not be returning for the eleventh season following "Scandoval".[47]

On December 11, 2023, it was announced that the eleventh season would premiere on January 30, 2024, with Lisa Vanderpump, Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, James Kennedy and Ally Lewber all returning alongside Brock Davies in a recurring capacity. Former cast members Jax Taylor, Billie Lee, Brittany Cartwright, Dayna Kathan, Kristina Kelly and Max Todd made guest appearances.[48]

The reunion was recorded on March 16, 2024.[49]

In April 2024, it was announced that the series would not be filming during the summer of 2024. Bravo wanted to give the cast a break following "Scandoval" and its aftermath. It has been rumored that Ariana Madix's commitment to hosting season six of Love Island also contributed to the hiatus. A filming start date has not been announced; however, it has been confirmed that the hiatus will not last a year. [50][51]
