Vanderpump Villa Hulu cast
Lisa, in the trailer for Vanderpump Villa season 1, proudly invites everyone onto her luxury French villa. She chooses her staff from some of the best kitchens, restaurants, and bars. She talks about French expectations. The show will offer opulent events, firework-filled proposals, outrageous confrontations, unbelievable excursions, and much more.
Lisa says putting Vanderpump Villa cast was not easy. She adds, “It was very, very carefully thought out. I needed some people that I knew I could really rely on. I think you have to manage people a lot more when you’re living with them and you can’t replace people. I’m not saying we didn’t, but you’ll have to see the show, too. It was quite difficult when you’ve got young people all living together.”
