As the original series remains on pause ahead of its 12th season and its spinoff, The Valley, prepares to begin filming season two in July, rumors of an all-new cast have hit the web, prompted by a telling post shared by the official Instagram page of SUR.
“‘Coming together is the beginning … Keeping together is progress … Working together is success’ SURvers,” read the caption of the June 22 post on Instagram.
In the image shared, a number of men and women were tagged, including Demyana Selem, Kim Suarez, Ljubisa Djekic, Nandi Sharma, Lou Zapata, and Gabrielle Cagan, as well as someone named Venus and another person named McKenna.
While the group photo may not have been much in and of itself, the fact that the Lisa Vanderpump-owned restaurant, where Pump Rules was originally based when it premiered in January 2013 as a spinoff of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, tagged Bravo and Evolution Media, the production company behind Pump Rules and other network shows, seemed to be a big hint at a new series.
In addition to that, The Reality TV Guru on X, formerly known as Twitter, claimed that after they shared news of a possible second-generation cast, certain members of the potential show reposted their tweet and even included the Pump Rules intro song in their videos.

Although Bravo and Evolution Media have stayed mum on the reports, fans on X seemed to be on board with the idea.
“It was best when it surrounded SUR. When it shifted away it lost [its] spark,” one person noted.
“Good! Its time. The others grew out of the show. It [used] to be about SUR and who worked there and it became the Tom Tom show lol they are grown middle-aged adults now with kids. Their time is over. I mean we barely even see Lisa anymore. It’s become an entirely different show,” someone else shared.
A third person said they’d been waiting for the reboot.
“It’s been time for this tbh. The show has longevity if it stays in SUR. It can constantly get new staff and over time people will naturally exit. It is amazing it stayed with the current cast as long as it has,” they wrote.
Meanwhile, another person declared, “It is probably a spin-off [SUR Rules].”
