Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute to Appear in "Vanderpump Rules" Spinoff
The drama is moving to Valley Village. Almost a month after the highly anticipated "Vanderpump Rules" season 10 reunion finale aired on June 7, Deadline reported on June 26 that Bravo is working on a spinoff series that would feature several former "Vanderpump" castmembers.
Former SURvers including Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and Kristen Doute will all be part of the new show, focused on Valley Village, the neighborhood in Los Angeles where they all reside. Deadline did not share other casting news for the spinoff, which is expected to be eight episodes long. Bravo did not immediately respond to POPSUGAR's request for comment on the report.
Taylor and Cartwright announced in December 2020 that they would no longer appear on "Vanderpump Rules" following allegations of racism directed at Faith Stowers, a former cast member. Doute and Stassi Schroeder had previously been fired from the reality series in June of that year over the same incident with Stowers. On June 18, Stowers shared a GoFundMe where she was raising funds to challenge Schroeder in court. In the post on the site, she mentioned that Doute's apology for her actions was "accepted."
Doute and Taylor and Cartwright have all been back on Bravo amid Scandoval, with the former even appearing in the finale episode of this season of "Vanderpump Rules" in a scene with Ariana Madix. Doute and Madix both dated Tom Sandoval, who was in the hot seat at the end of the season due to his months-long affair with Raquel Leviss, despite being in a nine-year relationship with Leviss's friend Madix. Meanwhile, Taylor and Cartwright appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" this spring in an episode reacting to the drama. They also filmed a Peacock watch-along for the season titled "Watch with Brittany Cartwright & Jax Taylor."
Meanwhile, "Vanderpump Rules" cast member Lala Kent revealed this week that season 11 of the show is beginning filming this week. There's no official word yet on which of the Bravo stars will be returning for the new season.
