In a way, Vanderpump Rules is perhaps bigger than the parent series itself in that, for eight seasons, it has followed just about everyone who has worked for Lisa at SUR or at the many other restaurants and businesses under either her watch or that of the other cast members, for whom they have such a solid following among reality TV fans and those in the social media realm. That includes Scheana Shay, who last week welcomed her first baby two years after sparking rumors that she would be the first in her cast to become a mom but later revealed that she was freezing her eggs before expecting, and during when she going through a divorce of her fiancé.
Since it aired the finale of its eighth season aired 11 months ago, VPR has gone through a lot: not only has Scheana and the cast welcomed babies to their families and have tied the knot, the obvious situation we're still in because of the pandemic meant that the restaurant was shut down for an entire year... and during SUR's closure the series was also affected by the summer that changed everything in reality TV. And now after the long layoff, filming of Season 9 is now underway down in the Southland, with it to air on the NBC Universal-owned cable channel later this year.
And you might be wondering why we are covering this show in the first place once again after we first featured Scheana on here getting to host Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz and MTV vet Kailah Casillas the night he had that IG live fight with his baby mama Jen Hurley... It's because of a few photos that popped up on the SUR Instagram page in the past week that gives us some wondering that the takeover of alumni of the reality shows we cover solely on here in MTV's lineup may stretch to the show that calls the restaurant its home. For the origin of this, you have to go back to around the time when this show was well into its second season.
