Vanderpump Rules Season 13

Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules Season 13 is in production, having started filming in April 2026 following the franchise’s successful post-Scandoval reboot. Bravo has confirmed the renewal and indicated that new cast members are being scouted to join the rebooted ensemble.

There is no public open-application URL for this show. Casting is scout-driven, working through:

• Hiring referrals at Lisa Vanderpump’s LA restaurants (SUR, TomTom, Pump, etc.)
• Talent agencies that represent LA hospitality workers
• Internal Bravo casting referrals
• Existing cast members’ personal networks

How casting actually works

For a Vanderpump-franchise show, the casting funnel typically runs:

1. The show’s casting producers identify properties they want to film at
2. They work with the GM and hiring team at those properties to flag staff who would cast well
3. Promising candidates get an off-camera meeting with casting
4. Selected candidates audition with existing cast in informal settings
5. Final selection happens close to filming start

If you want to be in the pipeline, the path is: get hired at a Vanderpump property as actual hospitality staff, build a working relationship with the GM, and let the GM know you’re interested in being considered. Public applications without that pathway have a near-zero hit rate.

Why this is here

We list scout-only shows because pretending they don’t exist would be dishonest, and because understanding how the industry actually casts is the most useful thing we can tell you. Most reality TV casting is more like this than the public application version. The shows you can apply to directly are the exception, not the rule.
