They're baaaack!

The stars of Vanderpump Rules hit the red carpet at the Hollywood Palladium on Wednesday night to help premiere season 11 of their hit Bravo series.

After the show was rocked by season 10's explosive "Scandoval" — where the love triangle of Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss played out on reality TV — the cast is back and ready to dive into the aftermath.

In a January 2023 conversation with PEOPLE, star Tom Schwartz said that he anticipates the new season will be “high-stakes.”

"I don't know what it's going to look like. I will say I'm excited and grateful that we have a new season," he shared. "I don't know what to expect, honestly, but I know it's going to be a good season. I'll say that."

Speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet, Lisa Vanderpump talked about staying busy with her 2-year-old grandson and menagerie of animals — plus managing all of the personalities on Vanderpump Rules. "Apart from these animals I have to take care of in this show — that's a whole different matter!"

Tom Schwartz told PEOPLE the upcoming season is "dramatic ... it's intense, it's explosive. But I want people to remember that it's got so much heart and it's redemptive. And don't forget ... it's funny too with a lot of emotional hooks."

Ariana Madix told PEOPLE that Lisa Vanderpump often gives her the advice of " 'Go for it darling, you've got this.' She really inspires me because I see the life that Lisa’s lived, she has this beautiful home, this beautiful family, so much success in her life, and I want to be able to be there too someday, so I really always take her advice to heart."

This month, Madix will be making her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Broadway's Chicago.

Her ex, Tom Sandoval, told PEOPLE that this season "was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to face on such a regular basis. It was very, very challenging and just very emotional."

"I was just bringing that energy into the season: single and ready to mingle," Katie Maloney told PEOPLE. "It's just like a really positive place. So as much as I was not really digging the idea of being around certain people, I was not gonna let that bother me or affect me too much."

On the flip side, Scheana Shay said her vibe going in "was just terrified. I mean, there was a lot going on. It wasn't easy to navigate a lot of conversations and just you know, an entire dynamic in this friend group was completely different. So it was very difficult. But coming out of it, I felt proud of myself for saying everything I think I wanted to say and I'm really trying to be better about."

"Where I'm at this season is really navigating how to be compassionate and sympathetic because ultimately, I have to have inner peace and heal in some way, or everyone is screwed around me, including my child," Lala Kent told PEOPLE. "She can’t see me like that forever."
