When is the 'Vanderpump Rules' reunion? Yes, Raquel will be joining and we're already bracing for disaster

"When is The Vanderpump Rules reunion," you ask? The impending train wreck is not something you'll want to miss.  

Following the salacious #Scandoval, Bravoholics and Bravolebrities alike have encountered quite a shake-up. Both Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss released statements about their tryst. Then Raquel alleged that her Pump Rules co-star and former friend, Scheana Shay, assaulted her as a result of the cheating scandal, and she even filed a restraining order against the "Good As Gold" singer. This led people to wonder: "Will Scheana Shay be at the Vanderpump Rules reunion? Can the two, legally, interact?

Throughout it all, we seem to have forgotten about the person most affected: the Ariana Madix statement thanked friends and fans for the outpouring of support following her boyfriend's infidelity and pointedly ended with: "What doesn’t kill me better run. Love, Ariana."

Needless to say, it's going to be a rough get-together. Host Andy Cohen is particularly nervous about reuniting with reality TV's most talked-about group. 

"This is a reunion that’s going to be…I’m girding my loins," he said on an episode of Andy Cohen Live (opens in new tab) on SiriusXM.

Likewise, while discussing the upcoming reunion on her podcast Scheananigans (opens in new tab), Scheana Shay said: "We need to have cages. Everyone needs their own personal bodyguard because oof."

Luckily, all you need is a comfy spot on the couch!

When is the 'Vanderpump Rules' reunion 2023?

The Vanderpump Rules reunion is expected to tape on Thursday, March 23, and it'll likely air sometime in April or May 2023, though a specific date has yet to be revealed. Judging from the raucous, we wouldn't be surprised if this is a multi-part special. 

"How many parts is too many parts for the #pumprules reunion???," Cohen tweeted on March 3, to which Lisa Vanderpump replied: "Ummm one…I’m not sure my heart is up to it."

Our blood pressure is already through the roof just talking about what's to come, especially considering Leviss took to Instagram (opens in new tab) on Wednesday, March 22 to confirm that she will be there in person. Does this mean the charges have been dropped or that Shay will be videoing in? Well, we'll find out.

Truthfully, we didn't expect to end up where we are now. When season 10 of Vanderpump Rules filmed in the summer of 2022, everything seemed status quo. But Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss rocked the Bravo universe to its core. 

"I am sad it ended the way it did," Sandoval wrote in his apology on Instagram. "The choices I made hurt so many people. I acted in a way that clashes with who and what I want to be."

We can definitely expect some clashing going forward. Let's pray for SURvival.
