Season 9.
The most disrupted stretch in the show's run — the cast rebuilt from the outside in before filming even started.
A rhythm worth tracking.
Season 9 arrives after the longest gap in the show's history, a pandemic-era pause that reshaped the cast before a single scene aired. Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright were let go by Bravo in the interim, ending their runs as series regulars. The seventeen-episode season introduces Brock Davies as a new regular and promotes Charli Burnett and Raquel Leviss to full-time status, rebuilding the ensemble around SUR's familiar hierarchy.
The #11 slot.
Slot #11 of 12 in the Vanderpump Rules Editor's Canon. Season 9 ranks eleventh because almost no other season in this canon absorbs this much change before a single scene airs. The longest gap in the show's history, a pandemic-era production pause, separates it from the season before, and Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright were let go by Bravo somewhere in the middle of it, ending their runs as series regulars. Seventeen episodes introduce Brock Davies as a new regular and promote Charli Burnett and Raquel Leviss to full-time status, rebuilding the roster almost from scratch. The restaurant's chain of command is still there underneath it, and most of the ensemble carries over — which is exactly why the even deeper reset one season later ranks below it.
