Lisa Vanderpump is taking a breather from the Los Angeles restaurant scene in favor of a French chateau.
Hulu announced in June 2023 that Vanderpump Villa will follow the staff of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum’s luxury French villa. Vanderpump serves as one of the series’ executive producers.
“Welcome to Vanderpump Villa,” Vanderpump says to a room full of staff in the trailer, released by Hulu in December 2023. “I have personally selected each of you from some of the best restaurants, bars and kitchens. I know you know how to serve, but this is France. So let’s talk expectations.”
The first look begins with a montage of the staff working at the mansion set to the song “Glamorous” by Fergie. As the staff is introduced to Vanderpump herself, she shows she means business when it comes to the property.
“You can do whatever you want behind the scenes, but when you’re around the guests don’t get sloppy,” she warns in a voiceover as snippets of arguments between the staff are shown. “This is not Chateau S–t Show.”
