Who Is Returning to ‘Vanderpump Rules’ for Season 11?

As of now, most of the current cast appears to be returning, as most of them have not publicly stated any hesitation. So far, Ariana Madix, Lala Kent, Katie Maloney, Scheana Shay, James Kennedy, Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval are set to return for the next season.

However, a few castmates have expressed concern over the possibility of costarring with each other again.

During a June 2023 interview with Us Weekly, Tom Schwartz admitted that he was “terrified” of coming back to film season 11. Nevertheless, he assured the outlet that though “there’s been trials and tribulations” among the group, “it comes from a place of love.”

As for Raquel, the former Miss Sonoma County has not publicly addressed the question of whether or not she is returning.

A source told Us Weekly that Raquel was “currently in talks about returning for the next season of Vanderpump Rules.”

“However, she hasn’t decided whether or not she wants to come back to the show,” the insider clarified.

Rumors also swirled for months that former cast members Brittany Cartwright and husband Jax Taylor would make a brief return to the original show. Though they have yet to confirm the speculation, the couple have teased the possibility in multiple interviews.

“I’m here to drink, take pictures and talk Vanderpump, and let’s do that for a minute,” Jax said during an Atlantic City nightclub appearance in June, according to Us Weekly. “Let’s just say, I will bring it. … I will bring it to the people it needs to be brought to. Oh, I said too much, sorry!”
