Vanderpump Rules is getting a reboot, Bravo is scrapping the entire cast for Season 12

It’s a fresh start for Vanderpump rules.

On Tuesday, November 26, Bravo announced VPR had been renewed for season 12 – but the upcoming season will look different from previous years. According to the press release, a new cast will take over Lisa Vanderpump’s West Hollywood ventures as servers, hosts and bartenders at SUR and TomTom.

“The last 12 years of filming have been an extraordinary run full of laughter, tears and everything in between,” Vanderpump, 64, said in the release. “I can’t thank enough those who have shared their lives. How I love you all. In the restaurant business, one shift always gives way to another. Cheers to the next generation of Vanderpump rules.”

Alex Baskin, executive producer for the show’s production company 32 Flavors, wrote: “What a thrill it is to build on the legacy of this series by doing it all over again. With deep appreciation for the original group and their iconic run, we can’t wait on the audience watching a dynamic new group of colleagues and friends make their way through life together.”

It’s unclear when the new cast or premiere date will be released, but PEOPLE has learned that the former VPR stars Lala Kent, Scheana Shay and Tom Schwartz will perform the valley, which follows Brittany Cartwright, Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute – among others – who got their start on VPR.

VPR first premiered on Bravo in 2013 starring Doute, Shay, Taylor, Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval, Stassi Schroeder, Peter Madrigal, Mike Shay, Laura-Leigh, Frank Herlihy and Ariana Madix. Over the years the cast has come and gone, with the likes of Cartwright, Kent and Rachel Leviss joining the series.

Fans began speculating that the show had been canceled when filming for season 12 was delayed over the summer, but PEOPLE confirmed that Bravo still planned to bring the series back at the time.

Seasons 10 and 11 also followed an altered filming schedule following the bombshell news that cast members Leviss and Sandoval were having an affair while Sandoval was involved in a decade-long relationship with Madix.

On May 1, Andy Cohen explained that breaks are not uncommon in the Bravo world when a major event has happened, saying SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen live in May that “we used to do this all the time with Housewives.”

“We’d say, ‘You know what? Let’s put cameras down for, you know, four or five months and come back to them.’ And they want to have lived life, says Cohen.

Vanderpump further confirmed with E! News that the show wasn’t going anywhere.

“Vanderpump rules is on hiatus just for a little bit,” it Vanderpump rules said namesake. “Let it breathe. I think we went around in circles a bit.”

However, the rumors continued to swirl as time went on, and Kent recently added fuel to the talk when she revealed that she is no longer on speaking terms with most of the cast on a November 19 episode of See what’s happening live.

“I burned a lot of bridges,” the reality TV star, 34, told Cohen, the host.

Cohen then named several of Kent’s former co-stars and asked if she was in contact with any of them. She joked that Sandoval texts her but she doesn’t respond often, she had to block Taylor and she and Madix “don’t talk.”

“She’s killing it and I’m thrilled about it,” she said. “And I mean it!”

Kent added that she has not spoken to Madix, 39, or Maloney, 37, since VPR season 11 reunion, which aired in May.
