Vanderpump Rules: Meet the New Season 12 Cast
Time for a shift change at SUR.
With the SUR kitchen bustling, Pumptinis flowing, and the back alley serving as the old faithful spot for staff breaks and hashing out beef, Vanderpump Rules is back with the next generation of close-knit SUR-vers who are ready to take West Hollywood by storm. This bright-eyed group of friends, frenemies, and lovers are serving up drama and, of course, goat cheese balls under the watchful eye of their boss, Lisa Vanderpump, who keeps her boisterous staff in check.
So, raise your glasses high and cheers to the new cast of Vanderpump Rules, because the best days of their lives are just ahead.
Who are the new Vanderpump Rules cast members?
Venus Binkley
Venus sees himself as the glue that holds the SUR staff together, and the confidant everyone turns to for advice and the latest gossip. Though he feels out of place in the West Hollywood dating scene, Venus’ friends encourage him to step outside his comfort zone. When he finds himself roped into the drama between Marcus, Kim, and Natalie, diplomacy goes out the window and he’s forced to pick sides.
Jason Cohen
Jason is both an aspiring actor and a new happy-go-lucky server who has charmed everyone at SUR. His infectious personality and dashing good looks have won over a few of the ladies and disarmed many of the men. He works alongside his cousin and roommate Chris, and the two have been attached at the hip since childhood. In between acting classes and waiting shifts, Jason tries to date a new co-worker, but his attempts backfire.
Shayne Davis
Shayne winds up at the center of the drama at SUR, despite being the only one in the group who isn’t employed there. He’s laser-focused on his sobriety, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying the L.A. nightlife. Between acting, improv, and screenwriting, Shayne’s social calendar is close to capacity, but he always makes time for dating. With one foot in and one foot out of the pool of ladies at SUR, Shayne might just make a splash he’s not ready to clean up.
Chris Hahn
Jason’s cousin Chris is a new bartender at SUR and has been living in Los Angeles for three years. He moved to the city with dreams of becoming an actor, but pivoted to pursue music and, like many of his friends, sees SUR as a steppingstone to larger opportunities. Single and mingling, Chris is looking for a partner and a long-term commitment. When Chris and Audrey start dating, discussions of a future trip cause complications.
Angelica Jensen
As the newest addition to SUR’s staff, Angelica immediately makes waves within the group. She sets her sights on modeling, acting and… friends Jason and Shayne, but a game of broken telephone threatens their possible connections.
Marcus Johnson
Marcus has been working at SUR for years, but after the loss of his parents, has been struggling to focus at work (case in point, sneaking drinks on the job) and to prioritize his relationship with his girlfriend, Kim. Close with Venus and Shayne, he leans on his friends to help him move forward. Marcus is all about new beginnings and is shifting his energy to his DJ career and social life but will need to learn if his fresh perspective and newfound ambitions will strengthen his relationship or strain it.
Audrey Lingle
As a hostess at SUR, Audrey is all bubbly charm and girl-next-door charisma, making her loved by (almost) everyone on the staff. She’s recently single, chasing new flings, and her dream of being on the big screen, but when someone at SUR catches her eye, a certain bad boy might just get the best of her.
Natalie Maguire
As SUR’s lead bartender for two years, Natalie is ready to level up to bar manager, but Lisa may not be on board following her recent outburst confronting her ex, Paulo, who also happens to work at SUR and previously dated Demy. Though it took a minute to warm up to each other, Natalie and Venus first clocked in on the same day and have basically been inseparable ever since. When she’s not behind the bar, Natalie is pursuing her pop music career with full force, but still makes time for men, making her love life a major source of friction within the group.
Demy Selem
Demy has been the manager at SUR for seven years, As the longest-tenured employee in the group, she knows all the inner workings of their dynamics. Demy is all business when it comes to her role at the restaurant, but being the boss has an impact on her friendships, especially with Natalie. Can she sip the tea with the crew and call the shots?
Kim Suarez
Kim works at SUR while juggling her aspirations in the entertainment industry and a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend, Marcus. She has feelings of jealousy over his close friendship with Natalie. When others in the group meddle, Kim wonders if her on-again, off-again romance will affect her performance and future at SUR.
