A new spinoff to the popular unscripted show Vanderpump Rules is currently in development at Bravo. This comes as viewers are captivated by the ongoing controversy known as Scandoval in the flagship series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the new spinoff will potentially focus on a group of friends who have transitioned from their wild and glamorous lives in West Hollywood to raising children in the less glamorous San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles.
Vanderpump Rules has been experiencing record-breaking ratings in light of the news that broke in March during season 10. It was revealed that Tom Sandoval had cheated on his longtime partner Ariana Madix with co-star Raquel Leviss. The scandal has only increased viewer interest in the show, leading Bravo to consider a spinoff that explores a new chapter in some of its beloved characters’ lives.
Several Vanderpump Rules alums are being considered for roles on the new spinoff. This includes Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute. While nothing has been finalized, the aim is to have an eight-episode season that showcases the friends navigating parenthood and life in the San Fernando Valley.
Jax Taylor was one of the original cast members of Vanderpump Rules, which premiered in 2013 as a spinoff of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Taylor appeared on the show for eight seasons before announcing his departure in December 2020. His wife, Brittany Cartwright, who had been a main cast member since season six, also left the show. The couple even had their own Bravo spinoff, Vanderpump Rules: Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky, which premiered in 2017 but only lasted for one season.

Kristen Doute, like Jax Taylor, was also an original cast member of Vanderpump Rules and appeared on the show for eight seasons. However, in June 2020, Doute, along with co-star Stassi Schroeder, was fired from the show. This was a result of them calling the police on former castmate Faith Stowers in 2018 to falsely implicate her in a crime.
Despite their departures, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright returned to the Bravo-verse to provide commentary on Scandoval for episodes of Peacock’s Watch With program that were released in April. Kristen Doute, who had a long-term relationship with Tom Sandoval, appeared in Vanderpump Rules’ 10th season as part of the fallout from the scandal.
Vanderpump Rules was previously renewed for an 11th season and features a cast that includes Lisa Vanderpump, James Kennedy, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, and Sheana Shay. The addition of a spinoff will expand the Vanderpump Rules universe and provide fans with even more drama and entertainment.
In conclusion, Bravo is working on a new spinoff to Vanderpump Rules that will focus on a group of friends navigating parenthood in the San Fernando Valley. This comes in the midst of the ongoing controversy surrounding the show’s scandal known as Scandoval. Alums Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute are being considered for roles in the spinoff, which is expected to have an eight-episode season. Vanderpump Rules remains a fan-favorite and has already been renewed for an 11th season. The addition of the spinoff will offer viewers a deeper look into the lives of their favorite cast members and further expand the Vanderpump Rules franchise.
