Andy Cohen endorses vanderpump rules casting change
- Andy Cohen supports Bravo's decision to replace the Vanderpump Rules cast.
- The new cast aims to bring back the show's original essence after various challenges with previous stars.
- Cohen believes this move will return the series to its successful roots.
In a recent episode of his SiriusXM show 'Andy Cohen Live', Andy Cohen discussed the significant changes coming to the reality series Vanderpump Rules. This update took place shortly after Bravo announced that the show will revamp its cast, introducing a 'new group of close-knit SUR-vers.' Cohen emphasized that the decision to replace longtime stars was the 'absolute right thing to do,' particularly as the show's essence had changed over time and filming was becoming increasingly challenging due to cast feuds. He mentioned that with the main stars moving on to successful ventures outside of SUR, it only made sense to refresh the show. Cohen compared this shake-up to the reboot of Real Housewives of New York, explaining that sometimes it’s time for a program to pivot. While some former cast members were reportedly upset about the changes, Cohen assured that the new cast would be motivated and eager to participate. Fans can expect a return to the elements that initially made the show successful, as production is set to begin in the following year.
