Lisa Vanderpump is ready to SUR-ve up some drama with a new cast of characters &#8230; TMZ has learned cameras have picked up at her restaurant for a new project.
Sources familiar with the project tell TMZ … production crews have been filming a possible new show at LVP&#8217;s West Hollywood hot spot, SUR, the last couple of weeks.
We&#8217;re told the cast for the pilot is made up of entirely new faces, all of whom are employees at SUR &#8212; much like how &#8220;Vanderpump Rules&#8221; first started with Tom Sandoval, Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Scheana Shay, among others, in 2013.
None of the current &#8216;VPR&#8217; cast members are set to appear in the new project &#8230; but sources say the pilot hasn&#8217;t even been officially picked up.
So, fans of the original &#8216;Pump Rules&#8217; series shouldn&#8217;t fret &#8230; as, if the show is greenlit, it will be considered a spin-off &#8212; not a reboot.

In fact, we&#8217;re told &#8220;Vanderpump Rules&#8221; is still planning to return for season 12 and will begin production this fall &#8230; months after it was put on pause amid growing drama among the cast.
We&#8217;re also told producers may simply be testing SUR employees in this pilot to see if any of them could work well for the upcoming season.
LVP has a number of projects in the works right now &#8230; season 2 of &#8220;The Valley&#8221; was filmed this summer, Stassi joined the cast of Hulu&#8217;s &#8220;Vanderpump Villa,&#8221; and season 12 of &#8216;VPR&#8217; is about to begin filming.
We&#8217;re sure Bravo fans are raising a Pumptini right about now!!!
