Vanderpump Rules to Pause Production – Entertainment News

The hit reality TV show ‘Vanderpump Rules’ is taking a break from production after two intense seasons filled with drama. The decision to pause filming comes after the fallout from the scandal involving castmember Tom Sandoval, who split from Ariana Madix in 2023 due to an affair with her friend Rachel Leviss.

According to a source, the cast and crew are in need of a break to “decompress” following the tumultuous events of the past two seasons. Filming for season 12, which typically takes place between May and July, will be put on hold over the summer months to allow everyone involved to recharge.

Producers are hoping that the time off will lead to new developments and fresh drama when filming resumes. Additionally, Ariana Madix’s new hosting gig on ‘Love Island USA’ is another factor contributing to the production pause, as she will be filming in Fiji for several months.

In an Instagram video announcement, Ariana expressed her excitement about hosting the dating show and causing some trouble in paradise. While it’s unclear when ‘Vanderpump Rules’ will go back into production, it’s unlikely that TV bosses will wait until next summer to pick up where they left off.

Fans of the show will have to wait and see what unfolds during this hiatus, but one thing is for sure – there will be plenty of drama when ‘Vanderpump Rules’ returns to the small screen.
