There’s still some hope for the OGs of Vanderpump Rules, and we’re not just talking about The Valley. Executive producer Alex Baskin recently teased what the future of the franchise could look like, and he said that we shouldn’t count out the original cast.
Of course, we know that Pump Rules Season 12 will feature a brand-new lineup of SURvers, but Alex thinks there’s still a chance for folks like Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix to make their way back to our screens. Keep your fingers crossed.
Alex recently appeared on Two Ts in A Pod when he touched on the future of VPR. Tamra Judge asked if there were any spinoffs in the works. He confirmed that there’s nothing on the horizon right now, but that could eventually change.
The future is bright for Vanderpump Rules
“There’s nothing to announce,” Alex said of any VPR spinoffs. “Obviously we did that successfully on The Valley and that second season is insane by the way, so very excited about that.”
According to Alex, who also serves as a producer for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, there’s always room in the Bravo universe to explore new stories with old faces. Specifically, he pointed out Denise Richards as an example. Who would have thought that she’d end up with her own Bravo show?
“I mean obviously, look, the Bravo universe is strong, you know, and sort of as Denise proves out as well there’s always an appetite to revisit the lives of the people who inhabit it. And so, you know all things are possible,” Alex remarked.
For now, Alex made it clear this primary focus is Season 2 of The Valley. Pump Rules fans can expect to see pop-ups from Lala Kent, who was super pregnant at the time of filming, and Scheana Shay, who was super eager to get back in front of a camera.
Plus Alex is busy gearing up for Season 12 of Pump Rules. They’re starting from scratch, and Alex has high hopes for the new generation. He also said that people shouldn’t necessarily consider it a “reboot.”
“It’s a lot of fun, so we’re trying to embrace what was great about the original, but I don’t really consider it a reboot. I think that’s the word that’s been thrown around,” Alex said. “My view is it’s a brand-new group that work at the restaurant and so it’s a new series that carries on the legacy of the original.”
Vanderpump Rules is streaming on Peacock.
