TheVanderpump Rulesalum, 36, is set to join the cast of spinoff seriesVanderpump Villa,which was just renewed for a second season.Lisa Vanderpumpannounced the news in an Aug. 9Instagram post, where she held up a glass of champagne as she teased the upcoming season.

“Well hello there, I want to welcome you back toVanderpump Villaseason 2,” she began. “Now, I am sitting here and I’m thinking, ‘What should I put on the menu?’ Any ideas?”

The camera then panned to another personal seated at the table: Schroeder!

“Lisa, obviously goat cheese balls,” she replied, referring to the popular appetizer she used to love when she worked at Sur (the restaurant whereVanderpump Rulesoriginated back in 2013).

“Excellent idea, cheers!" Vanderpump said. “Welcome back, darling!”

The restaurateur captioned the video, “Vanderpump Villais returning for Season 2… with a new addition! #WelcomeBackDarling #VanderpumpVilla”

Schroedertook to her own accountto share the announcement, posting a photo of her and Vanderpump in the French villa where the show takes place.

“You know I’m walking around these halls pretending to be European royalty #vanderpumpvilla,” she wrote in the caption.

Vanderpump Villadocumented the drama-filled escapades of the staff at her French countryside estate, Chateau Rosabelle. For season 1, which premiered in April, Vanderpump hand-picked the twelve stars, who fill every role needed for her hospitality venture, from executive chefs to mixologists to housekeepers.

Much likeVanderpump Rules,the series followed the “decadence and debauchery” as the staff fulfill their professional duties — curating luxury experiences and catering to the whims of their clientele — while navigating their own interpersonal rivalries and romances.

“Endlessly relatable, utterly hysterical, and questionably sane, Stassi is the anchor of a fresh ensemble of comedic and chaotic characters who are dealing with identity crises and major life crossroads of their own — and Stassi’s the one who has to keep them all afloat,” the series synopsis says.

This is Vanderpump’s first time back working with Schroeder since her departure fromVPRfour years ago.
