Stassi Schroeder Returns to Reality TV: 'Vanderpump Villa' & New Docuseries

Stassi Schroeder Returns to Reality TV: New Role in "Vanderpump Villa" and Upcoming Docuseries
In a much-anticipated comeback, former "Vanderpump Rules" star Stassi Schroeder has announced her return to reality television as a new cast member in Season 2 of Lisa Vanderpump's Hulu series, "Vanderpump Villa." The news comes alongside the revelation that Schroeder will also be starring in her own docuseries titled "Stassi Says." This dual announcement marks a significant return to the reality TV landscape for Schroeder, who previously faced controversy and criticism that led to her exit from Bravo's "Vanderpump Rules" in 2020.
In an Instagram video shared on Friday, Lisa Vanderpump enthusiastically welcomed Schroeder back to the franchise, stating, “Well hello there, I want to welcome you back to ‘Vanderpump Villa’ season 2.” The playful interaction between the two Bravolebrities set a light-hearted tone for the upcoming season, with Schroeder cheekily suggesting that goat cheese balls-a popular dish from Vanderpump’s Los Angeles restaurant, SUR-should be on the menu. Vanderpump's caption for the video, "#WelcomeBackDarling #VanderpumpVilla," underscored the excitement surrounding Schroeder's return.
Schroeder echoed the enthusiasm in her own social media post, humorously noting that she was “walking around these halls pretending to be European royalty,” reflecting her comedic style and connection to the lavish setting of "Vanderpump Villa."
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Vanderpump’s 19th-century French estate, Chateau Rosabelle, "Vanderpump Villa" chronicles the lives of the carefully selected staff as they “work, live, and play” in the south of France. The series promises a blend of glamour, drama, and the unique dynamics of working in hospitality, all with Vanderpump’s signature flair for entertainment.
Schroeder’s addition to the cast is expected to inject fresh energy into the series, as she is described as “the anchor of a fresh ensemble of comedic and chaotic characters.” This new role also positions her to explore her comedic talents, which she is eager to showcase.
In addition to her role in "Vanderpump Villa," Schroeder's upcoming docuseries, "Stassi Says," has also captured attention. Deadline reports that this 30-minute docu-comedy series will feature Schroeder as she navigates life’s challenges alongside a new ensemble of characters dealing with their own identity crises. The series has been described as “endlessly relatable, utterly hysterical, and questionably sane,” promising to resonate with viewers in a light-hearted yet meaningful way.
Stassi Schroeder’s return to reality TV comes after a tumultuous departure from "Vanderpump Rules." After starring on the Bravo series from 2013 to 2020, she was fired alongside cast members Kristen Doute, Max Boyens, and Brett Caprioni following a backlash over their actions involving Faith Stowers, the show’s only Black cast member. The incident involved calling the police on Stowers in a racially charged context, which ignited widespread criticism and ultimately led to the termination of Schroeder and Doute from the series.
Additionally, Schroeder faced scrutiny for comments made on her podcast, "Straight Up With Stassi," which were deemed racially insensitive. This controversy resulted in her losing multiple brand sponsorships and her public relations representation, marking a significant turning point in her career.
As Stassi Schroeder prepares to re-enter the world of reality television, both "Vanderpump Villa" and "Stassi Says" represent new opportunities for her to redefine her public persona. With Lisa Vanderpump at the helm of "Vanderpump Villa" and Schroeder's comedic approach projected to engage audiences, fans are eager to see how the dynamics unfold in the new season.
As the premiere dates for both projects approach, the reality TV community will undoubtedly be watching closely, not only for the entertainment value but also for how Schroeder navigates her comeback in the wake of past controversies. With her playful spirit and undeniable charisma, Schroeder's return promises to be a captivating chapter in her ongoing journey in the public eye.
