How to watch Lisa Vanderpump’s buzzy new ‘Vanderpump Villa’ show for free

While this season of “Vanderpump Rules” is coming to a close soon, it’s not the only way to pump up the drama with Lisa Vanderpump this spring.

Over a decade after she first opened SUR to cameras, the “RHOBH” alum is taking fans inside another one of her businesses, France’s Chateau Rosabelle, in Hulu’s original “Vanderpump Villa” docu-drama.

What’s more, you won’t need cable to watch every episode of the buzzy new show; starting with the April 1 premiere, it will be available to stream on-demand on Hulu.

And to make your next reality TV binge that much easier, the streaming service even offers a month-long free trial of its ad-free plan for new members.

If the explosive trailer — spotlighting relationships between staff members and a twist Lisa says could “actually take the whole thing down” — is any indication, the series is sure (or should we say, SUR?) to follow in the footsteps of “Vanderpump Rules” as headline-making television.

“Vanderpump Villa is a curated luxury experience; it’s not just a hotel, it’s a fantasy,” the titular restaurant maven says in the trailer, warning staff that “there’s a fine line between being professional and too personal.”

“I did not work this hard to have these little whippersnappers screw it up,” she added.

The unscripted show promises to feature everything from “firework-filled proposals” to fireworks of a different kind via “outrageous confrontations in the French countryside,” per a press release.

The show is set to serve up plenty of drama courtesy of 12 servers and staff members, including event coordinators, mixologists, housekeepers, servers, chefs and the chateau manager. (While the show is entirely shot in France, the whole cast hails from the States.)

Like “Vanderpump Rules,” the budding reality stars — handpicked by the “RHOBH” alum herself — are set to navigate their own complex rivalries and romances on air, all while creating a high-end experience for guests. 

The France-based spinoff also sees drama heating up far beyond the kitchen; during filming, the stars all lived together 24/7 on the premises of the luxurious estate.

What is the Vanderpump Villa?

The show centers on a palatial property in the South of France, officially called Château Rosabelle. (“No one does sophistication like the French,” Vanderpump says in the trailer.)

Amid the opulent excursions and heated moments, the star is set to evaluate whether it’s worth making the luxe “pop-up” hotel experience a permanent part of her restaurant and bar empire. 


When does ‘Vanderpump Villa’ premiere?
