Lisa Vanderpump’s most extravagant reality experiment is back as Vanderpump Villa returns to the sun-drenched French countryside for a second season of unparalleled luxury and staff meltdowns. This year, the hand-selected team at Château Rosabelle faces their biggest challenges yet – from impossible celebrity demands (a vegan caviar tasting?) to internal rivalries that threaten to destroy service. With new hires, returning favorites, and surprise VIP guests, the series delivers the perfect cocktail of Downton Abbey elegance and Below Deck chaos, all filtered through Lisa’s signature pink-hued glamour.
The stakes are higher than ever as the staff navigates:
- A Michelin-starred chef showdown between Anthony Bar and newcomer Bridget Keefe
- Forbidden staff romances that break Lisa’s strict “no fraternization” rule
- The most demanding guests yet, including Vanderpump Rules alum Stassi Schroeder
- A shocking mid-season firing that leaves the villa scrambling
Meet the Cast: Season 2’s Players & Power Struggles
The OG Returners
– Hannah Fouch (Server)
The breakout star of Season 1 returns with newfound confidence – and a secret relationship with mixologist Andre. Her ability to handle entitled guests while training new servers makes her the villa’s MVP… until a champagne sabotage incident tests her loyalty.
– Andre Dante Mitchell (Mixologist)
His craft cocktails wowed last season, but now Andre faces competition from two new bartenders. Watch for his molecular mixology demonstration that goes spectacularly wrong when a VIP’s dress catches fire (just a little!).
– Anthony Bar (Executive Chef)
The temperamental genius battles to maintain kitchen supremacy when Lisa imports his ex-rival Bridget Keefe. Their truffle-fueled shouting match in Episode 3 becomes instant reality TV history.
The New Blood
– Bridget Keefe (Sous Chef)
This Michelin-trained wildcard isn’t afraid to challenge Anthony’s authority. Her “no f*cks given” attitude causes chaos but also produces the villa’s most stunning meal yet – an edible garden that actually impresses Lisa.
– Tyler Agajan (Activities Coordinator)
A human golden retriever who organizes everything from yacht parties to falconry lessons. His feud with uptight events coordinator Gabriella over “taste levels” provides constant comedy.
– Lexee Berdiago (Bartender)
A cocktail influencer whose social media ambitions clash with villa protocols. Her attempt to film a TikTok during service leads to Season 2’s first tears.
Guest Stars From Hell
– Stassi Schroeder (VIP Guest)
The Vanderpump Rules queen brings her signature drama when she demands an all-black decor scheme for her birthday – during peak lavender season. Her read of the staff’s fashion choices is brutally hilarious.
– The Crypto Bros (Episodes 4-5)
A group of blockchain millionaires who tip in NFTs and request a “human sushi boat” experience. Their brawl over wine allocations leads to $20k in damages.
Why This Season Slays
- Bigger Budget: Lisa spares no expense – expect a floating cocktail lounge and truffle-hunting piglets
- Darker Drama: That “champagne sabotage” incident isn’t just spilled bubbles – it’s felony territory
- Staff Shakeups: Three firings and one walkout by midseason
- Lisa’s New Rules: “No crying where guests can see you” gets tested immediately
Don’t Miss:
- The Episode 2 cheese cart disaster that ruins a $10k Hermès bag
- Hannah and Andre’s secret midnight swim… with unexpected witnesses
- That time they actually made vegan caviar happen (and it was disgusting)
Streaming Tip: Disney+ will release “Villa Uncorked” companion episodes with extended staff interviews.
