Lisa Vanderpump launched Vanderpump Villa season 3 on April 16, and this time she has moved the party to Rosecroft Park in the English countryside. The new run takes the hospitality competition from France and Italy into a British setting, with returning staff members joined by 10 entirely new hospitality workers.
Vanderpump said she chose the location after thinking carefully about where to spend the summer, and she framed the move with the kind of dry British warning the show seems to invite: “Keep calm and carry on.” She added that she was not sure England was prepared for what is coming.
Stassi Schroeder is back as Resident Guest and is serving as the primary VIP guest with special hosting duties at the reunion, giving the season a familiar face at the center of the mayhem. Schroeder described the incoming visitors as “the White Lotus of reality stars,” a line that fits the show’s mix of luxury, personalities and open conflict.
The trailer backs that up with a cross-franchise guest list built for chaos. Ekin-Su Cülcülolu appears in the preview and says, “I’m a Leo, so for me, it’s all about attention.” Bachelor Nation stars, Challenge competitors and members of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives DadTok are also confirmed to visit, along with Vanderpump’s nephew Sam Vanderpump from Made in Chelsea.
The bigger story is that the series has grown into a reality-TV crossing point, pulling in names from several franchises while keeping its own staff-and-guests format intact. Season 1 was set in France and season 2 in Italy, but season 3 shifts the action to a British property without abandoning the sunlit spectacle and social friction that have defined the show from the start.
That friction is already on display. The trailer shows Marciano Brunette and Hannah Fouch in a heated emotional confrontation, and it also makes clear that some cast changes happened off camera before the premiere. Dakota Mortensen was cut from the final season because of an ongoing domestic violence investigation involving ex-partner Taylor Frankie Paul, but Vanderpump said he “didn’t really have a big storyline” and that removing him “hasn’t affected the story.”
So the answer to the question hanging over season 3 is simple: the move to England is not a reset, but a relocation. Vanderpump Villa is keeping its mix of luxury, personality clashes and reality-TV cameos, only now the drama is unfolding in a country estate rather than on the Mediterranean.
