Vanderpump Rules: Spin-Off Surprises Fans With New UK Location

An insider revealed that the new filming location for the Vanderpump Rules spin-off is Newport Pagnell in the UK. Producers reportedly believe the rural setting will look romantic and impressive to American viewers. Still, British audiences know it’s just a short distance from Milton Keynes’ city centre, a place not known for being stylish.

The decision to relocate is even more surprising because of the show’s rich heritage. The shooting of the 1st season took place at the French chateau. Season 2, which hasn’t aired yet, completed its filming in the Umbria region of Italy. Each of the two locations has become a part of the show’s classic, luxurious look. Now, as the filming location shifts to Newport, viewers speculate whether it can live up to the glamorous standard set by the previous European estates.

However, producers of VPR are looking to emphasize the British roots of the boss lady, Lisa Vanderpump. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum has worked for years to be seen as a stylish host. The producers are trying to capture the “Lady of the Manor” mood, even if it means moving the setting far from the Cotswolds or Kent castles that many expected.

Lisa Vanderpump and her life partner, Ken Todd, who built their reputation through restaurants and clubs in London before moving to Los Angeles, are the main characters of the show. Despite the unusual change in location, Lisa’s diehard fans from both RHOBH and Vanderpump Rules continue. They continue to be a strong draw.
