Season 8.
The show's biggest new-cast swing yet, followed within weeks by real news that reshaped who stayed.
A rhythm worth tracking.
Season 8 brings the show's biggest single-season cast addition: Beau Clark is promoted to a full regular, joined by new regulars Max Boyens, Brett Caprioni, and Dayna Kathan. Twenty-four episodes carry that bigger ensemble through SUR's usual mix of hierarchy and personal drama. Weeks after the season wrapped, Bravo announced Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder would leave the show, following public accusations from a former cast member — news that reshaped the cast for the next season.
The #08 slot.
Slot #08 of 12 in the Vanderpump Rules Editor's Canon. Season 8 ranks eighth because its cast growth is genuinely significant, but the ground shifted under it almost immediately. Beau Clark is promoted to a full regular, and Max Boyens, Brett Caprioni, and Dayna Kathan join as new series regulars, the biggest single-season addition the show had made to that point. Twenty-four episodes carry that bigger ensemble through SUR's usual mix of hierarchy and personal stakes competently. But weeks after the season wrapped, Bravo announced Kristen Doute and Stassi Schroeder would leave the show, news that recast the season's cast additions as a prelude to a much bigger overhaul rather than a settled expansion.
