Vanderpump Rules returns to Bravo on Monday, December 3, at 9 p.m. ET.

The seventh season of the Bravo hit will follow all of the drama leading up the opening of Sandoval and Schwartz’s new restaurant with Lisa Vanderpump and Ken Todd.

“[The bromance] is stronger than ever!” Sandoval previously told Us about working so closely with Schwartz. “It’s been great. It’s always a constant work in progress, but it’s so enjoyable. We’re always an open book, we’re always sponges sucking in new information, new gimmicks, new cutting-edge co*cktails. Obviously our co*cktail program is very strong right now, but we’re always open to new suggestions, new ideas, and new cutting-edge techniques. The food is great. We have elevated bar food.”

After Scheana Shay was spotted with Bachelorette season 12 alum Robby Hayes in Hawaii in May, the “Good as Gold” singer told Us exclusively that fans will see her go on a date with a member of Bachelor Nation during season 7. “You’ll see me single the entire summer. I go on quite a few dates. I will just say that I have my Bachelorette moment on the show this summer,” she told Us in September 2018. “When I said I had my Bachelorette moment, I mean because I went out with more than one person who had been on the show The Bachelorette. And you’ll see one of those this summer.

Fans shouldn’t expect to see Lala Kent’s engagement to Randall Emmett during season 7 — or an appearance from the movie producer at all. Scheana, 33, confirmed to Us in September 2018 that Emmett, 47, who proposed to Kent, 28, earlier that month, will “never” appear on the show.

Us broke the news in February that Stassi Schroeder was dating Beau Clark following her split from on-off boyfriend Patrick Meagher. The “Straight Up With Stassi” podcast host, 30, confirmed the advertising associate filmed scenes for season 7 in October. He later appeared in the trailer, telling Stassi that she “d—k-punched [his] heart.”

Brittany Cartwright proudly celebrated her engagement to Jax Taylor in the season 7 trailer. The couple, who confirmed their engagement in June, opened up to Us about how their special moment will play out on the show. “We get engaged! And honestly I’m the most excited for this season out of any of the seasons I’ve been on,” Brittany told Us exclusively at the E!'s People’s Choice Awards in November. “We’re so excited.”

“I’m very excited. I mean, there’s a lot to look forward to this season. Not just our engagement, there’s a lot that goes on,” Jax, 39, added on the PCA red carpet. “You can all tell that we’re very much evolving, so it’s almost like grown-up fighting now, as opposed to high school fighting. I mean, there’s still high school fighting. Certain people on our show like to keep the high school vibe going, but for the most part, it’s getting into adult fighting now. If that makes any sense.”

After Raquel Leviss made headlines for fighting with Lala and Kristen in the trailer, her boyfriend, James Kennedy, teased her growing role on the show exclusively to Us.

“I mean, look, she’s always been pretty much of a regular, you know?” the DJ told Us at the E!'s People’s Choice Awards in November. “This is like her third year or fourth year on Vanderpump Rules. If you’re not a regular by then, I don’t know when you become one.”

After seemingly being fired by Lisa again in the season 7 trailer, James broke down in tears. However, he told Us in November that he is back on good terms with his boss.

“Yeah, Lisa and I are always in a good place, you know what I mean?” James, 26, told Us at the People’s Choice Awards in November. “Sometimes I’m a little naughty and I get a little bit in trouble, but you know, with a good apology and working my way back up, she always finds a place for me.”

In addition to her Bachelor Nation flings, Scheana’s relationship with SUR employee Adam Spott is expected to play out during season 7.

“You just have to watch next season,” Scheana told Us in September about their rumored romance. “We’re always together. He’s my favorite person to be with.”

Billie Lee implied in July on Twitter that she wasn’t invited to an upcoming Girls Night event thrown at SUR because she is transgender. “When you coworkers don’t include the only trans girl in GIRLS night at your own job! On the night you work,” she tweeted at the time, adding the hashtags “RudeAF” and “TransIsBeautiful.” Kristen and Katie Maloney both denied that their costar’s claims on social media at the time.

While it’s unclear if the drama with Girls Nights shown during season 7, Billie Lee agreed with Lala in the trailer, chasing after her costar yelling, “You’re not f—king better than me, Lala.”

In the season 7 teaser, an understandably upset Ariana Madix told her boyfriend it’s not his business to tell the world about her alleged past relationship with another women. Ariana, 33, called rehashing issues in their relationship “not fun” during an interview with Us at the E! People’s Choice Awards.

“I feel like you could know me for 10 years and you’d still be finding out new things about me, because I don’t really, like, broadcast things, like, immediately,” she explained in November. “And so there’s these things that come out and get brought up, but I’m not ashamed of those things about myself. But at the same time, I get really uncomfortable talking about it, and it’s gonna be pretty uncomfortable watching it back.”

After fans were quick to point out Kristen’s seemingly drunken fall in the season 7 trailer, she confirmed to Us that the already infamous moment was boozed-filled.

“Definitely a lot of catty moments, but a lot more adult, real moments and arguments and fights and changing things that have happened now that we’re growing up, and I think it’s going to be really cool to watch our show evolve like that,” Kristen told Us at the E!'s People’s Choice Awards in November. “But still a lot of crazy stuff. I mean, I fell over a table drunk in the trailer, so there we go.”

Both Lala and Scheana told Us exclusively that new music is in the works. “I have two songs that will be coming out this season,” Lala said in November, noting that she “no longer” works with music producer Sean2 Miles after Scheana started to record with him.

While it’s unclear if Scheana’s new tracks will be featured on season 7 or down the line, she told Us that she is back in the studio and releasing an EP in March: “I’ve had so many people ask me to put out new music and then Sean2, who works with Lala as well, was like, ‘Can I get you in the studio? I think your voice is dope, I really want to work with you.' And we worked out a great deal. So why not?”

Lala admitted to Us she was “kind of in a fog” while filming season 7 three weeks after her father died. “It think it was like a blessing, but also a curse because it took my mind off of it, but not to the point where I had fully processed that I lost half of who I am,” she explained in November, noting that Jax and Lisa also lost family members going into the seventh season. “I think having Jax, who knows exactly what I’m going through and having Lisa suffer a loss that’s so great, it was just, you don’t really have to say much. You just have to look at the person and you almost feel like this bond and sense of comfort because you know that you’re relating on such a deep level. Jax and I really bonded with this season. And Lisa’s always incredible, so yeah.”

“Now it’s time to mend what friendships I can and if people are willing to give me another chance, great. If not, I understood, but I was certainly going to try my hardest to get through that old Scheana was back,” the SURver told Us in November, noting that she lost herself following her divorce from Mike Shay and rebound romance with Rob Valletta. “I think season 4, it got really hard just dealing with Shay’s addiction and martial problems and season 5, pretending like everything was fine. I felt like I wasn’t really being my true self, I was putting on this facade of ‘everything’s sunshine and rainbows and no, no, no, I’m really happy.’”

Brittany told Us in November that she sees Jax “making efforts” to be a better partner every day. “He’s completely changed the way he treats me, the way he talks to me, the way he listens to me. Every single thing about our relationship is better,” she explained. “I know how much he’s wanting the wedding and how much he’s wanting to marry me, how much effort he’s putting into the wedding, just as much as me. I don’t know, whenever you know somebody as well as I know Jax, you can just tell.”

Scheana, Jax, Brittany and Lala all teased a divide between the cast and James.

“I’m all for making mistakes and I’m all for screwing up, but you need to learn from your mistakes. And he continually just never learns from mistakes,” Jax told Us in November. “In fact, he’s gotten worst and worst and worst. To the point where we just don’t know what to do anymore. It’s a shame. Personally, I don’t understand why somebody his age would want to hang out with somebody our age. We’re a decade apart. I don’t get it. We aren’t the ragers that we used to be, that’s not a secret.”
