Lisa Vanderpump is whisking herself away to France to film a new upcoming Hulu reality series titled Vanderpump Villa, which will take place at her own luxurious French estate.
The TV personality, 62, who appeared on the heated and final episode of the Vanderpump Rules reunion on Wednesday, is slated to not only star in the show, but will also tackle the role of executive producer, per The Hollywood Reporter.
The Disney-owned streaming site has ordered 10 episodes, and will follow the staff at the lavish mansion as they both live and work ‘together to navigate every extravagant desire of their well-to-do guests,’ according to the outlet.
The project is being produced by Entertainment 360 and Bunim/Murray Productions, which is linked to other shows such as The Family Stallone. However, a set premiere date has yet to be announced to anticipated fans.
Lisa herself jumped to her own Instagram page on Thursday to confirm the headlines, and wrote in the caption to the latest post, ‘Ahhhh it’s coming! #VanderpumpVilla.’

Lisa is no stranger to the world of reality television, and previously starred in The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills from 2010 until her official exit in 2019.
Since 2013, she has appeared in her Real Housewives spin-off, Vanderpump Rules, which follows staff who work at her eateries in West Hollywood such as SUR Restaurant & Lounge, TomTom, and also Pump Restaurant & Lounge.
Last month in May, the British-born star announced that Pump will be closing its doors on July 5.
At the time of the news, she also penned a heartfelt statement on the restaurant’s main Instagram page.
‘It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that the lease at Pump Restaurant is expiring and we will be closing its doors on July 5th, after ten years of beautiful evenings under our olive trees.’
Despite one door closing, two others are set to open, with the TV personality adding that there are plans to open, ‘at least two more restaurants with Caesars Entertainment in the coming year.’
The philanthropist currently owns two restaurants in Las Vegas, including the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, and at the Paris hotel, Lisa opened the Vanderpump à Paris in April 2022.
The businesswoman explained that the reasoning behind the decision to close Pump was due to an increase in rent, which ‘is not something we are ready to commit to.’

Along with Vanderpump Villa, Bravo’s hit series, Vanderpump Rules, has been renewed for an 11th season, and is slated to begin filming soon in the summer, per The Hollywood Reporter.
During an interview with the outlet that was published on Tuesday, the producer of the series, Alex Baskin, also teased that former castmates might make appearances.
‘It is a distinct possibility that some past cast members might make appearances on this upcoming season,’ he hinted.
The season 10 finale episode of the Bravo series aired last month in May, and raked in series-high ratings, with a total of 4.1 million viewers tuning in to watch the drama unfold, per Variety.
The third and final episode of the VPR season 10 reunion officially aired on Wednesday, with Raquel Leviss tearfully coming clean about the Scandoval affair and admitted to more sex romps with Tom Sandoval and her desire to be in a ‘throuple’ with Ariana Madix.
Raquel, who has since checked herself into a mental health facility, and Tom notably had a months-long affair which came to light earlier in March, promptly ending his nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix.
The 28-year-old reality star sat down for a final interview six days after the season 10 reunion in which Ariana blasted her over her betrayal. ‘I think it’s important to me to tell the truth,’ said Raquel as she admitted to lying during the reunion.
‘I think that I’ve been lying and being so deceitful this entire time that… I don’t want to lie anymore, and it’s all out there anyway. Like, the worst is out, yet I’m still finding myself having to lie about specific timeline things,’ Raquel said.

Flashbacks were then shown of Sandoval during the reunion insisting they had sex once and took a break before resuming their affair. ‘He feels like it would be less hurtful to say that, you know, this wasn’t going on for so long,’ Raquel said.
The producer prodded her for details and Raquel revealed the second time they had sex was during the Mexico trip for Scheana Shay’s wedding last August that Ariana also attended.
She shared that their affair ‘picked up speed’ once filming ended on the Bravo show. Raquel also claimed that she ‘felt really guilty’.
‘A huge part of me wanted to tell her. Like, it ate me alive not to tell her. I mean, I even suggest, I was like, “Maybe, like, what would Ariana think about, like, having me as an addition?” And he was like, “No, no, no. She would not be into that”,’ Raquel said. ‘A throuple?,’ the producer asked.
‘Yeah,’ Raquel answered. ‘Because, like, I love Ariana as a person, and then also I’m in love with Tom Sandoval. So, yeah, it didn’t seem like that far-fetched of an idea, but it was not something in question.’
‘God, he’s gonna kill me,’ she added. ‘I just hate lying so much. I hate it.’ Raquel also told the producer that Sandoval asked her not to disclose certain information.

‘I feel like Tom is, like, you know, my one person that I do have. And so, if I just, like, went and betrayed him, then I’d really have nobody,’ Raquel said. She started crying as she revealed they agreed to get one particular story straight.
‘The reason why Tom wanted to lie about it is because it’s a really bad look to hook up with someone’s boyfriend in their own house. When they’ve gone out of town, especially for, like, a funeral, of all things,’ Raquel said sobbing.
She was mentioning the time when Ariana was out of town to attend the funeral of her beloved grandmother Bonnie.
‘This has f***ing killed my soul. Like, I am so sick of lying. I hate it. I hate being deceitful. It’s horrible,’ Raquel said while crying hard.
