Lisa Vanderpump is not messing around on Vanderpump Villa.

In the first teaser of the new Hulu series produced by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum, fans get a glimpse at the drama-filled escapades of the staff at Vanderpump’s French countryside estate, Chateau Rosabelle.

The one-minute teaser shows Vanderpump, 63, introducing the staff to their new place of employment. The clip begins with the Vanderpump Rules star walking through the halls of Chateau Rosabelle as Fergie’s “Glamorous” plays in the background.

The teaser then shows glimpses of Vanderpump’s first staff meeting, where she details her expectations of her new hires. The restauranteur tells her newly hired hospitality crew, “I have personally selected each of you from some of the best restaurants, bars, and kitchens.”

“I know you know how to serve. But this is France, so let’s talk expectations,” continues Vanderpump.

Before the teaser can share more of what the TV personality expects, the clip cuts to Vanderpump turning to one of the villa’s mixologists, Andre Mitchell, as she asks, “Why do you look so scared?”

In turn, Mitchell’s eyes widen and he shakes his head.

The video then quickly jumps from showing the staff performing their hospitality duties with ease at to enjoying the perks of the French countryside estate.

As shots of the cast enjoying the villa’s expansive pool are shown, Vanderpump explains to the cast, “You can do what you want behind the scenes, but when you’re around the guests, don’t get sloppy.”

That’s clearly easier said than done as the staff is shown handling mishaps and mistakes on the property amongst themselves — and the guests.

At one point, lead server Marciano Brunette is filmed yelling at his coworkers, “Stop talking!” Another staff member can be heard shouting back, “What? What? What?”

As the drama escalates, Vanderpump sets the record straight and reprimands her staff. “This is not ‘Chateau S—show!'”

Much like Vanderpump’s Bravo reality series, Vanderpump Rules, the new series promises “decadence and debauchery,” according to a press release, 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 yes, romances.

The series stars the aforementioned lead server Brunette, and mixologist Mitchell, as well as mixologist Telly Hall, events coordinators Stephen Alsvig and Gabriella Sanon, executive chef Anthony Bar, sous chef Caroline Byl, housekeepers Emily Kovacs and Grace Cottrell, servers Priscila Ferrari and Hannah Fouch, and Chateau manager Eric Funderwhite.

While the cast members are stationed in France for filming, they all hail from the States, relocating from Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, New York, and St. Augustine, Fla.

In the first season, Chateau Rosabelle is a pop-up experience, a test by Vanderpump to determine if the restaurateur will make the villa a full-on hotel venture, so the staff are under constant evaluation, adding to the drama.

The Hulu series is set to premiere this spring but does not yet have a premiere date.
