VPR Alum Peter Madrigal Launches Reality TV Network

Everybody remembers Peter Madrigal from Vanderpump Rules. The SUR manager appeared on the series as a guest from day one, but after Scandoval, he and the network went their separate ways. Since he departed from the show, fans haven’t seen Peter in any other unscripted series. However, things could change with his new venture.

After spending years in front of the camera (and dealing with his larger-than-life co-stars), Peter is ready to build on the knowledge he’s gathered by launching a television network.

“You may have seen me on reality TV … in the past,” he began his TikTok video. “But just like all of you, I, too, am I fan of reality television.”

He continued, saying he loves the fun and chaos, but most importantly, he’s passionate about the “business aspect.”

“So, I’m here to give life to those shows that deserve to be on a network for all to see,” he explained.

Later, he channeled his inner Danielle Olivera and said that as the president and owner of his company, Reality Network, his goal is to bring “real life” and “drama” to TV.

Will Peter return to Vanderpump Rules?

It was shocking to learn that Peter wouldn’t return to Vanderpump Rules for Season 11. As we mentioned, the SUR manager had been part of the show since Season 1. In early 2024, he revealed that although the production company asked him to film Season 11, it would’ve been for free.

“So basically, my choice was to come back to the show for free. Or not do it. That’s basically what happened. So, I’ve been getting paid on the show since the inception of the show. And then they asked me to do it for free.”

With the chatter surrounding the future of the show and who may or may not return, it’s likely that Peter won’t be part of those conversations either.
