"Vanderpump Rules" Season 8 hasn't premiered yet, but so much has changed -- starting with the fact that barely anyone works at the SUR restaurant where everything began.

In a first look preview of the new season posted on Bravo TV's website, viewers are introduced to some of the new staff and "VPR" cast from SUR and TomTom and it's clear that the only original cast members who remain on staff are none other than Jax Taylor (as a bartender) and Scheana Shay (as a server). They confirm this during their on-screen interviews.

Despite their lack of presence in the West Hollywood restaurant returning to the series for Season 8 are, of course, the queen bee herself, Lisa Vanderpump, as well as OG's Ariana Madix, Brittany Cartwright, James Kennedy, Katie Maloney-Schwartz, Kristen Doute, Lala Kent, Stassi Schroeder, Tom Sandoval, and Tom Schwartz.

Fans of the show will notice a new SUR face in James' girlfriend, Raquel Leviss. Though she's appeared on the show in prior seasons, Season 8 will be her first as part of the main cast. Also added to the main cast is Stassi's beau, Beau Clark (pun intended).

It's no surprise that the majority of the "Vanderpump Rules" cast has moved on from SUR, after all, that's a part of growing up. Sandoval and Schwartz are busy with the highly successful restaurant that they opened with Lisa, TomTom. Sandoval also recently released a cocktail book with Ariana. Stassi's been on a roll as well with her tour and "Basically Stassi" series.

Just because there will be some faces missing from SUR restaurant doesn't mean any drama will be missing from the show. Based on everything we know so far about the upcoming season, it could just be one of the best yet.

"Vanderpump Rules" Season 8 premieres Tuesday, Jan. 7, at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
