Hulu today announced a 10-episode order of "Vanderpump Villa." A launch date on the platform is forthcoming.

The show will be produced by Bunim/Murray Productions ("The Challenge," "The Family Stallone," "Surviving Bear Grylls," "Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls"). Entertainment 360 is also attached as a producer.

Most importantly, her philanthropic ventures are extremely close to her heart as advocates for the LGBTQ+ community and actively helps to end animal abuse.
The series order comes on the heels of a banner year in unscripted for Hulu, including the third season of "The Kardashians" and the recent order of 20 additional episodes of that show as well as "The D'Amelio Show"'s forthcoming third season.
Lisa Vanderpump is repped by CAA, Entertainment360 and attorney Mitch Federer. Bunim/Murray Productions is repped by CAA.
