<p id=”par-2_43″>While Vanderpump has said that the reality series’ reboot will feel very different from the original, the show will <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/vanderpump-rules-lala-kent-shared-rumors-new-cast.html/”>still focus on servers</a> at the restaurant SUR. Vanderpump said she wanted to center the show on a group who already knew each other.</p>
<p id=”par-3_84″>“A couple were [added] later to the game before we started filming,” she told <a href=”https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/lisa-vanderpump-rules-season-12-reboot-cast-skeptic-premiere-1236440247/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Hollywood Reporter</a>. “But essentially, I like to work on a group that has cohesion and authenticity, so Marcus and Kim and Demy, they’d worked here; Venus [as well], for years. I mean, I’m not going back to the OGs, but [they were working here] definitely for a few years. So there was already comfortability at the restaurant, and then a couple of people were added as we started looking.”</p>

<p id=”par-4_25″>One cast member, Shayne Davis, does not work at the restaurant, but Vanderpump still felt that he fit well with the rest of the cast.</p>
<p id=”par-5_28″>“Well, because he was Marcus’ best friend, and he was always on the other side of the bar,” she said. “He just became part of the SUR equation.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_12″>For the most part, though, the cast members are all restaurant employees.</p>

<p id=”par-7_27″>Some fans have expressed concern about cousins Chris Hahn and Jason Cohen, as they have both <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/all-vanderpump-rules-cheating-scandals-ranked-yes-tom-sandoval-no-1-scandoval.html/”>appeared on reality television</a> in the past. This didn’t worry Vanderpump.</p>
<p id=”par-8_71″>“They wanted to be here, I suppose, because they’d heard about SUR, but they didn’t know that we were definitely going to be doing the show,” she said. “Listen, a lot of these people want to work as waiters, and if you were going to work anywhere in Hollywood where there’s a chance it might be a television show, wouldn’t you choose that place? I mean, let’s be honest about it.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_19″>She noted that because the show films at SUR, many staff members likely hope to appear on reality television.</p>

<p id=”par-10_39″>Vanderpump is a reality television veteran. She said she wants to give the new cast guidance as they navigate the newfound attention.

<p id=”par-11_69″>“All of them aren’t gonna like all of it,” she said. “That’s what I just told them, I said, ‘You’re gonna look at it like a pack of photographs.’ You’re gonna go, ‘I don’t like that, oh I like that,’ because that’s a reality, and it’s our job to tell the truth. It’s our job to document the truth, and not everybody is going to be happy with everything.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_14″>Still, she said the cast quickly adapted to being in front of a camera.</p>
