Vanderpump Rules is starting production again over 18 months after season 18 wrapped up.

Yep, after a whole lot of drama in the past year, season 19 is set to begin production in May so get prepared for Bravo reality series to head back to screens soon.

According to Variety, the docusoap will reveal new cast members in due course as the show moved forward after multiple firings.

Amid the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, previous racially insensitive actions by Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute saw the stars get the boot.

Newcomers Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni were also fired, before Jax Taylor and his wife, Brittany Cartwright, were also booted.

The publication confirms that Scheana Shay, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix will be back for the new season.

Lala Kent, James Kennedy, and Raquel Leviss will also return, as well as the queen bee Lisa Vanderpump.

As for how they’ll film amid the ongoing pandemic, the network confirmed that they have put in a ‘comprehensive health and safety plan.’

Bravo explained: ‘The plan was developed in accordance with CDC guidance, all state and local orders, as well as NBCUniversal’s own safety guidelines. The health and safety of the cast and crew is the priority of Bravo for all of its shows.’

Vanderpump Rules airs on Bravo. An airdate for season nine is yet to be confirmed.
