Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, and Tom Schwartz are set to be featured on The Valley season two after being fired from their roles on Vanderpump Rules ahead of the long-running series’ 12th season.

Following the news of the cast shakeup coming to Pump Rules, which will bring an entirely new group to the show with Lisa Vanderpump, 64, and as Scheana, 39, Schwartz, 42, and James Kennedy, 32, react to the “end of an era,” a new report has confirmed that Scheana, Lala, 34, and Schwartz will appear on the upcoming season of the Pump Rules spinoff.

Deadline shared the news with readers on November 26, noting that The Valley currently stars Jax Taylor, 45, Brittany Cartwright, 35, and Kristen Doute, 41, and it wrapped production on season two months ago.

The outlet also noted that it was unclear what their roles would be, whether full-time or part-time.

As for the rest of the Pump Rules OGs, Deadline stated that “anything is possible.”

Meanwhile, on social media, James offered a statement.

“I can’t lie, I’m holding back some tears as I write this. It’s been a pleasure being a part of Vanderpump Rules and filling your TV screens with our lives over the past decade,” he wrote. “I’ve dedicated my life to this show and I’m forever grateful to everyone who tuned in. All of my dreams are finally coming true; this year I played Neon Carnival, EDC and Stagecoach and I have a Vegas residency — and I have all of you to thank. It’s been a wild ride and I’m excited to see what the future holds. Although this is a bittersweet ending, this is just the beginning! THANK YOU.”

Scheana posted a message, as well.

“The end of an era, and the start of something new,” she shared. “I don’t even know where to begin….well maybe first off, thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me … We had one hell of a run! I never could have imagined while shooting the pilot for [Pump Rules] that it would become what it has, nor go on for as long as it did. To the fans who’ve been with us from the beginning, and to everyone who joined along the way, THANK YOU.”

“Putting our lives out there isn’t always easy, but every time one of y’all reached out to say our stories resonated with you made it all worth it!” she continued. “To our amazing crew at [Evolution Media], [Bravo], and [NBCUniveral] — thank you for the experience of a lifetime. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities this show has generated and for the memories we’ve made along the way. We truly have worked with the best cast, crew and been part of so many special moments in each other’s lives. Cheers to the next chapter!”

“The rest is still unwritten,” she added, giving a nod to the theme song of The Hills, which only aired for six seasons.

In the comments section of her post, Scheana was met with support from Ariana Madix, 39.

“The OG of all the OGs … I love you,” Ariana stated. Scheana replied, “I love you!!!”

Brittany, Kristen, and Bravo added heart emojis in posts of their own.

Scheana’s husband, Brock Davies, who she wed on the show, offered a congratulatory message to Scheana.

“Congratulations to what is an iconic group of people … what you all have accomplished and the impact you all have are unbelievable … I am very proud of you honey and also the whole cast, past and present. What a legendary effort…” he shared as Stassi Schroeder, 36, and Janet Caperna posted heart emojis.

As for Schwartz, he honored his time on the show with an Instagram edit from Kali Svec.

“How the last 12 years replays in my mind,” he captioned the series of clips.

Tom Sandoval, 43, also reacted to his exit from Pump Rules, reflecting on an appearance with Jax on Watch What Happens Live.

“Thanks [Andy Cohen],” he wrote.

Vanderpump Rules season 12 is set to begin production sometime next year.
