Selling Sunset
Selling Sunset is an American reality television series created by Adam DiVello that premiered on Netflix on May 7, 2019.[1] The show chronicles the professional endeavors and personal dramas of elite real estate agents at The Oppenheim Group, a luxury brokerage firm in Los Angeles, as they navigate high-stakes property sales to affluent clients while dealing with interpersonal conflicts, romances, and office rivalries.[2] As of November 2025, the series has aired nine seasons, with the ninth season released on October 29, 2025, featuring 10 episodes centered on escalating tensions among the agents, including new arrivals and long-standing feuds.[3] The program stars key figures such as broker Jason Oppenheim and his twin brother Brett Oppenheim, alongside agents including Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet, Amanza Smith, Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani, Bre Tiesi, Nicole Young, and Alanna Gold, with notable past cast members like Chrishell Stause, who announced her departure after season 9, and Christine Quinn.[3][4] DiVello, known for producing The Hills, drew inspiration for Selling Sunset from a magazine advertisement featuring the Oppenheim brothers, leading to a pitch that captured the glamour of LA's luxury real estate market blended with reality TV intrigue.[5] The series has garnered attention for its portrayal of opulent properties—often priced in the tens of millions—and the agents' lavish lifestyles, though it has faced criticism for dramatized elements and ethical concerns in real estate practices.[6] Selling Sunset has spawned a franchise, including spin-offs like Selling the OC (2022), which follows agents in Orange County, Selling Tampa (2021) in Florida, and Selling the City (2025) set in New York City, expanding the format to diverse real estate markets across the U.S.[7] With over 60 episodes across its run, the show maintains a TV-MA rating due to mature themes involving relationships, betrayals, and professional competition, appealing to audiences interested in aspirational lifestyles and unfiltered personal narratives.[2]Premise and format
Concept and setting
Selling Sunset is a reality television series that chronicles the high-stakes world of luxury real estate in Los Angeles, centering on the agents of The Oppenheim Group as they navigate multimillion-dollar property sales amid intense professional rivalries and personal entanglements.[2] The show highlights the brokerage's specialization in upscale homes, primarily in the glamorous Hollywood Hills and Sunset Strip neighborhoods, where properties boast stunning city views, modern architecture, and opulent amenities that epitomize West Coast extravagance.[8] These areas, known for their proximity to iconic LA landmarks like the Hollywood Sign and the vibrant Sunset Boulevard nightlife, provide a picturesque backdrop that underscores the series' blend of business ambition and lifestyle allure.[9] Founded in 2013 by identical twin brothers Jason and Brett Oppenheim, The Oppenheim Group operates as a boutique firm targeting affluent clients, with listings typically ranging from $2 million to over $40 million.[10] Jason serves as president and founder, leading a team that has amassed over $4.5 billion in total sales, focusing on exclusive estates that attract high-profile buyers seeking privacy and prestige in Southern California's elite enclaves.[8] The brokerage's West Hollywood office, strategically located on Sunset Boulevard, symbolizes its central role in the narrative, serving as the hub for deal-making and interpersonal dynamics.[11] At the heart of the series is an ensemble of predominantly female real estate agents who drive the plot through their competitive pursuits of commissions and commissions, often complicated by office romances, friendships, and conflicts.[2] These women, portrayed as stylish and driven professionals, showcase the glamour of their profession by touring lavish properties and interacting with celebrity clients, a hallmark established in the pilot season to emphasize the brokerage's access to A-list clientele like Orlando Bloom and Dakota Johnson.[12] This setting not only illustrates the economic scale of LA's luxury market but also explores the personal toll of maintaining appearances in an industry where success is measured in sky-high sale prices and social status.[13]Episode structure
Episodes of Selling Sunset typically run for 30 to 45 minutes, varying slightly across installments to accommodate narrative pacing on Netflix.[2] This runtime allows for a structured format centered on the professional routines of the Oppenheim Group agents, including detailed property tours of luxury Los Angeles homes, client meetings to pitch listings, open houses that showcase market competition, and scenes depicting the negotiation and closing of high-value deals.[14][15] Interwoven throughout are elements of unscripted reality television, such as confessional interviews where agents provide direct-to-camera commentary on workplace tensions and personal reflections, dramatic confrontations arising from rivalries or betrayals, and lifestyle segments that delve into the cast's off-duty lives—including extravagant parties, romantic relationships, and family milestones—to humanize the high-stakes real estate world.[14][15] To sustain viewer engagement, episodes frequently conclude with cliffhangers teasing unresolved interpersonal conflicts, accompanied by teaser previews that prioritize emotional drama over transactional details, while authentic sales footage is seamlessly integrated with produced reality elements to maintain a docusoap aesthetic.[15] Over time, the series' format has shifted from an early emphasis on real estate transactions in seasons 1 through 3 to a greater focus on cast dynamics and conflicts in later seasons, exemplified by the introduction of reunion specials beginning with season 5, where the full cast reconvenes to address season-specific disputes and revelations.[16]Production
Development
Selling Sunset was created by television producer Adam DiVello in 2018, drawing inspiration from his earlier successes with MTV reality series such as Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and The Hills, which blended personal drama with lifestyle elements. DiVello's concept for the show emerged after he spotted a full-page advertisement for The Oppenheim Group in The Hollywood Reporter, highlighting the firm's glamorous real estate agents and luxury properties on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles; he immediately envisioned adapting this into a docusoap format for streaming.[5][15][17] The pilot episode was filmed in 2018, capturing initial footage of the agents at The Oppenheim Group to pitch the series. Netflix commissioned the show shortly thereafter in early 2019, ordering an initial eight-episode first season with DiVello and Oppenheim Group founder Jason Oppenheim serving as executive producers, marking Netflix's entry into the docusoap genre. The casting process centered on recruiting female agents from the firm who embodied high fashion, ambition, and interpersonal dynamics conducive to dramatic narratives, such as new recruit Chrishell Stause, an actress transitioning to real estate, to ensure a mix of professional intrigue and personal conflicts.[18][15][19][20] Key milestones included the series premiere on March 21, 2019, which quickly garnered attention for its blend of opulent home tours and agent rivalries, leading to a swift renewal for a second season on April 22, 2020.[1][21] Subsequent renewals followed strong viewership, with Netflix announcing additional seasons periodically, culminating in the confirmation of a ninth season in 2024 to extend the franchise through 2025.[3]Filming process
Filming for Selling Sunset takes place primarily in Los Angeles, centering on the Oppenheim Group's offices located at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Sunset Plaza Drive, as well as luxury properties listed for sale and the personal residences of the agents.[22][23] This setup allows the production to capture both professional real estate activities and personal interactions in authentic environments, with producers emphasizing an unobtrusive approach to encourage natural behavior from the cast.[22] The shooting schedule for each season spans approximately eight months, typically running Tuesday through Saturday, with daily shoots lasting from around 8 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m. and covering two to three major scenes.[22][24] Agents are equipped with microphones during their actual work hours to record unscripted conversations and sales interactions, though cast members occasionally cover their mics to have private discussions away from the audio capture.[25] Multiple cameras, often three to four per scene, are used to film these moments, particularly in challenging acoustic environments like large concrete and glass luxury homes.[26] In post-production, each season generates 90 to 100 terabytes of footage, which undergoes daily dailies processing before offline editing to lock episodes.[27] Editing enhances dramatic tension through selective camera angles, music cues—such as pop tracks for montage sequences—and contextual trimming of scenes, including those involving sensitive personal disclosures to maintain narrative flow without fabrication.[22] Color grading, audio mixing in 5.1 surround, visual effects for beauty enhancements, and noise reduction contribute to the show's glossy aesthetic, with the full process per episode taking two to four weeks using tools like DaVinci Resolve Studio.[27][28] Production adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic by halting filming for Seasons 2 and 3 just before the U.S. lockdown in March 2020, leading to delays for Season 4 that pushed its start until later that year.[22][29] Subsequent shoots for Seasons 3 and 4 incorporated remote work options and reduced office populations upon reopening, with production pausing for 15 days in September 2021 after a cast member tested positive.[30] Later seasons reflected evolving real estate practices, including a greater emphasis on virtual property tours amid ongoing health protocols.[31]Cast

The cast of Selling Sunset has evolved significantly since its premiere, with original members departing due to personal milestones, professional shifts, and interpersonal conflicts, while new agents have been introduced to refresh the ensemble and reflect changes at The Oppenheim Group. These transitions have often altered group dynamics, introducing fresh tensions or alliances among the real estate agents. Below is a chronological overview of key cast changes across seasons, focusing on main cast additions, departures, and role adjustments.| Season | Year | Additions | Departures/Role Changes | Reasons and Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2019 | Chrishell Stause, Mary Fitzgerald, Davina Potratz, Heather Rae Young, Christine Quinn, Maya Vander (as core agents); Jason and Brett Oppenheim (as brokers) | N/A (inaugural season) | Established the foundational group of ambitious female agents at The Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles, setting a tone of high-stakes real estate deals intertwined with personal drama. The all-original lineup fostered early rivalries, particularly around Quinn's bold personality. |
| 2–3 | 2020 | None | None (full returning cast) | Continuity allowed deeper exploration of ongoing relationships and conflicts, such as Stause's divorce and Quinn's wedding, strengthening the core dynamics without disruption. |
| 4 | 2021 | Emma Hernan, Vanessa Villela (both join as full-time agents in September 2021) | None | Hernan, a luxury real estate specialist since 2018, brought a youthful energy and past ties to Quinn, heightening office tensions upon her full-time integration. Villela, transitioning from acting, added a glamorous, peacemaking presence but struggled for screen time. Shifting focus to rising stars amplified competition among the women. |
| 5 | 2022 | None | None (but foreshadows exits) | Heightened conflicts, including Quinn's alleged client bribery accusation and Vander's personal challenges, began eroding group cohesion, leading to fragmented alliances by season's end. |
| Post-5 (2022–2023) | 2023 | N/A | Christine Quinn (full exit after season 5); Vanessa Villela (full exit after season 5); Maya Vander (full exit after season 5); Davina Potratz (full exit after season 5) | Quinn departed amid workplace fallout, including a rift with the Oppenheim brothers over a major listing and post-maternity struggles, to launch her own brokerage, RealOpen, with husband Christian Dumontet; her absence removed a polarizing figure, easing some tensions but diminishing the show's signature villain archetype. Villela left for a rival agency, citing a desire for more autonomy after limited integration; this quietly reduced the cast size without major drama. Vander exited to prioritize family in Miami following a pregnancy loss and another high-risk pregnancy, focusing on her own firm; her departure softened the group's intensity, as she had been a stabilizing maternal voice. Potratz left the brokerage after limited sales activity, shifting early competitive focus elsewhere. |
| 6 | 2023 | Chelsea Lazkani, Bre Tiesi, Nicole Young (all join as full-time agents) | Heather Rae El Moussa (reduced role starting here due to pregnancy) | The newcomers injected diversity and fresh storylines—Lazkani's British perspective, Tiesi's co-parenting with Nick Cannon, and Young's family focus—revitalizing dynamics amid post-season 5 voids, though El Moussa's pregnancy with husband Tarek El Moussa limited her involvement, foreshadowing her fade-out and shifting sales leadership to others. |
| 7 | 2023 | None | None | Ongoing tensions from newcomers and reduced original presence continued to shape group dynamics, with focus on professional competitions and personal milestones. |
| 8 | 2024 | Alanna Gold (joins as full-time agent) | Heather Rae El Moussa (confirmed full exit before season 8, not approached for return) | Gold's addition brought competitive edge from her background at a rival firm, subtly challenging established agents like Hernan. El Moussa's departure, described by her as stemming from the show's "toxic" environment and focus on her HGTV career with husband Tarek, marked the end of an original era, prompting a leaner, more volatile ensemble. |
| 9 | 2025 | Sandra Vergara (joins mid-season as new agent after obtaining her realtor license) | One agent (Alanna Gold) faced firing discussions over interpersonal clashes, but retained a role | Vergara, sister of Sofia Vergara, debuted in season 9 (premiered October 29, 2025), adding Hollywood glamour and family ties that sparked curiosity and minor jealousies among the group. Chrishell Stause announced her exit on November 7, 2025, after season 9, citing mental health concerns from editing omissions and ongoing drama; as an original and fan favorite, her departure signals a major pivot, potentially reshaping future seasons around newer members like Lazkani and Hernan.[4][3][52] |

This approach not only illustrated the competitive nature of luxury sales but also humanized the agents through their vulnerabilities, contributing to the show's rapid rise in popularity and cultural impact during its initial run.[56][57]Seasons 4–6 (2021–2023)

Across Seasons 4–6, the series emphasized off-market deals as a core element of luxury real estate, allowing agents to handle confidential transactions for high-profile clients without public listings.[13] Personal milestones, from pregnancies and weddings to engagements, wove into the professional narrative, heightening emotional stakes.
