Stassi Schroeder's New Show Has One Thing 'Vanderpump Rules' Fans May Not Expect
Stassi Schroeder is stepping back into reality TV, but fans should not expect a simple Vanderpump Rules reboot.
The former Bravo star is leading her own new series, House of Stassi, which premieres July 29 on Freeform. The full season will be available to stream the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
The show brings Schroeder back in front of cameras with some familiar faces, including Katie Maloney, Kristina Kelly and her husband, Beau Clark.

The official show description, according to Deadline, says Schroeder is "stepping back into the spotlight to redefine her place in pop culture," while also confronting parts of her past and dealing with a chaotic inner circle.
The cast includes Schroeder, Maloney, Clark, Kelly, Taylor Strecker, Georgianna Aubin, Rob Evors and Taylor "Teddy" Donohue.
Stassi Says the Show Breaks the Fourth Wall
Schroeder has said the new series will not pretend the cameras are not there.
"It's like nothing anyone's ever seen," she told People. "'Cause we do a lot of breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging that we are filming a show and that we are on a show and that we came from a show."
Instead of trying to recreate her former Bravo role, Schroeder acknowledges that viewers already know her reality TV history.
She also said the show has a nostalgic element because Maloney and Kelly are part of it.
"It truly is this raw, real show about where we are now," Schroeder said.
Katie Maloney and Kristina Kelly Are Part of the Story
For Vanderpump Rules fans, one of the biggest reasons to watch may be the Maloney-Kelly dynamic.
Maloney's return to reality TV is especially notable because she has her own long history with Schroeder.
"No one knows that we had a falling out for years," Schroeder said in an interview with Marie Claire, according to E!. "Now we're rebuilding our friendship after growing in two completely different directions."
The show is expected to deal with what happens when old reality TV friendships age, shift and have to be rebuilt outside the world where viewers first met them.
Do Not Expect Old-School' Vanderpump Rules' Chaos
Schroeder has also made clear that the new show will not be the same kind of chaos fans remember from early Vanderpump Rules.
She told People that the cast is at a different stage now, with "so much more to lose." She also said the drama is not the same as old fights from the SUR days.
"No one's throwing drinks on each other," Schroeder said.
Instead, she described the show as "way more real and nuanced and layered."
The show still has friendship drama, but it appears to be built around adulthood, family, career pressure and unresolved history, rather than the kind of party-heavy conflict that made Vanderpump Rules famous.

Stassi's Family Life Will Also Be a Major Part of It
The series will also show Schroeder's life with Clark and their two children, Hartford and Messer.
Schroeder recently told People that she is in a very different place than she was when many viewers last saw her regularly on reality TV. She described the show as showing "Stassi 2.0," including marriage, motherhood and a new phase of her career.
Schroeder is no longer the single reality star trying to run her friend group. She is a wife, mother, podcast host, author and public figure trying to re-enter unscripted TV on different terms.
Why 'House of Stassi' Could Hit With Bravo Fans
Vanderpump Rules has gone through major changes, Bravo fans are still interested in what the original cast members are doing, and Hulu has been building out its reality TV slate. Schroeder already returned to the larger Vanderpump world through Vanderpump Villa, but House of Stassi gives her a show centered on her own life and relationships.
For longtime fans, the most interesting part may be seeing how much has changed.
