Everything You Need To Know About the New ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 12 Cast—and the Drama Ahead

Venus sees himself as the glue of the group, but he struggles to find his place in West Hollywood—according to his Instagram bio, Venus was born and raised in Texas. Per Bravo, he wants to keep the peace, but finds himself in the middle of drama anyways.

Shayne is the only member of the new cast who doesn’t work at SUR—but, according to Bravo, he “winds up in the center of the drama” there. Posting the trailer on Instagram, Shayne definitely teased some twists ahead, writing, “Not gonna lie shit got crazy and I was not on my best behavior.”

When he’s not stirring up drama at SUR, Shayne is busy with his acting career. He’s starred in a handful of films for Drama Box, including Serve Me! Ball Girl Heiress and Escaping the Mafia: I Married a Homeless Billionaire.

Angelica is the newest hire at SUR in the group, and while she’s hustling hard as an aspiring model, actor, and of the swimwear brand Stellica, she still finds time to stir up some trouble. According to her official Bravo bio, she’s got eyes for friends Jason and Shayne.

Venus’ BFF Natalie has been working behind the bar at SUR for over two years—she celebrated her work anniversary in May. Per her cast description, she’s hoping to make the jump to bar manager, but her outbursts and conflicts with others on the team has Lisa skeptical.

She’s also working on a career as a pop singer on the side and keeps busy as a dog mom to her husky, Stormi.

Demy Selem has worked at SUR for seven years, so she knows everything. According to her cast description, 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.”

Chris is another bartender at SUR with dreams of making it in Hollywood. He originally tried to make it as an actor, but has since switched his focus to a music career. Per his bio, Chris is looking for love, and he just might find it with a fellow cast member.

If Chris looks familiar, that’s because he’s no stranger to reality TV. He competed on season 2 of Netflix’s The Perfect Match and appeared on Netflix’s Dated & Related with his cousin…fellow Pump Rules cast member Jason Cohen.

Other than his one episode stint on Dated and Related with Chris, Jason has mostly kept away from reality television. An aspiring actor, he’s got a few IMDB credits to his name, but works at SUR as a server to pay the bills. Bravo teases that he’ll be getting flirty with co-workers, and it might not go as intended.

Recently single Audrey—another aspiring actor—is apparently “loved by (almost) everyone on the staff,” per her cast bio. (Based on her recent Instagram, it looks like she’s pretty close with Natalie. Or at least, close enough to wear coordinating Halloween costumes.)

Per her bio, “When someone at SUR catches her eye, a certain bad boy might just get the best of her.” Yikes!

Like Demy and Natalie, Marcus is a longtime SUR employee. He’s dating fellow cast member Kim Suarez and trying to pursue a career as a DJ (oh boy). According to the cast bios, drama will go down between Marcus, Kim, and Natalie…and I’m already on the edge of my seat.

Kim is an aspiring actor, singer, and dancer who moved from New York to LA to pursue her dreams. She’s had a few career wins—including as a dancer on In The Heights—and is currently working at SUR with her boyfriend, Marcus.

According to her cast bio, Kim’s “on-again, off-again” relationship with Marcus will take center stage when others in the group start getting involved in her relationship. It’s unclear if Marcus and Kim are still together, but she last posted about him in January.

Of course, you can’t have Pump Rules without Lisa Vanderpump. The entrepreneur will be back to lord over her young employees and, hopefully, give some help when needed. “This is SUR, we’re a family. They’re not perfect, but they’re mine,” she says in the trailer. Spoken like a true fairy godmother/mob boss.
