The sun is rising on massive deals and intense drama for The Oppenheim Group agents. Selling Sunset is back for Season 9, and with new episodes come new faces.
This season, the pressure is at an all-time high, and some agents might not have what it takes to keep their seats at the brokerage. “Season 9 definitely brings some unexpected twists,” new agent Sandra Vergara tells Tudum. “There are some jaw-dropping moments you won’t see coming.”
I came for the houses. Who wouldn't? The first time that infinity pool spilled over a Hollywood Hills ledge, water so still it looked like glass, I hit pause.
Marble floors that cost more than a car. Closets bigger than bedrooms. Los Angeles looking like a postcard instead of a traffic jam. Selling Sunset knows the bait.
It sells the dream before it sells the argument.
The Oppenheim Group is a brokerage on paper and a stage on camera. Listings become props. Agents become characters, Dynasty one week and The Real Housewives the next.
Confessional interviews are not filler. They steer what you think you saw. Chrishell Stause sits in that dim room, face carefully blank, and says, "I don't trust her."
The camera holds long enough for the line to land. Minutes earlier she was laughing with the same person. The edit already chose a villain.
The series uses "selective editing to heighten drama or emphasize certain personalities." A workplace turns into a battleground because the cut insists.
Watch long enough and the seams show. A fight over a commission becomes a season-long feud. A remark about an outfit becomes a rivalry.
Audience Opinions
Audience 6.5/10
"Glamorous guilty-pleasure escapism built on jaw-dropping luxury homes and addictive interpersonal drama, though increasingly dragged down by over-produced and exhausting conflicts."
The show hooks viewers with stunning Los Angeles properties, glossy fashion, and an easy, bingeable flow that makes it ideal when you want to switch your brain off. Over time, the balance shifts away from real estate and deal-making toward loud, repetitive feuds and polarizing personalities, leading some longtime watchers to feel the later seasons are more fake, latestnetflix.com maintains, petty, and tiring than fun.
What viewers praise
Spectacular luxury propertiesHigh-end LA homes with features like infinity pools, private theaters, and huge closets provide constant visual eye candy and aspirational escapism.
Addictive easy watchingEpisodes are light, fast, and undemanding, working well as background TV or a binge when you want to relax without thinking too much.
Entertaining soap-style dramaThe backstabbing, office factions, and emotional confrontations create the kind of heightened reality-show tension that keeps viewers pressing play.
Glamour and stylingDesigner outfits, high heels, perfect makeup, and an overall Barbie-dreamhouse aesthetic make the cast and lifestyle fun to look at even when the plot is thin.
Satisfying sales and negotiationsScenes showing agents negotiating, closing deals, and celebrating big commissions are engaging for those who enjoy watching real estate work on screen.
Common complaints
Over-produced artificial conflictsArguments often feel stretched, repetitive, and manufactured, with small slights blown up into season-long storylines that no longer feel believable.
Drama over real estateLater seasons lean heavily into personal feuds at the expense of showing listings, client work, and real negotiations, disappointing viewers drawn in by the property angle.
Unlikable or tiring personalitiesSeveral agents are viewed as shallow, mean-spirited, or attention-seeking, and some story arcs leave viewers feeling they no longer like anyone on screen.
Fatigue and decline in later seasonsRecent seasons are described as meh or unsatisfying, with choppy editing and increasingly negative energy that make the once-fun toxicity feel more draining than entertaining.

The houses are staged, the smiles are tighter than a bodycon dress at reunion taping, and behind the glass walls of The Oppenheim Group, the real estate isn’t the only thing getting flipped. From mass cast “refreshes” to lawsuits producers allegedly won’t touch on-camera, welcome to the side of Selling Sunset Netflix hopes you’re too distracted by the infinity pools to notice.
On-Set Drama & Vanished Finales
Chrishell Stause didn’t just quietly fade into the Beverly Hills sunset. After nine seasons, she officially quit in late 2025, bluntly saying the show is “no longer good” for her mental health and that she’s done even if it gets renewed for more seasons . Fans on social media called it the most relatable thing she’s ever sold.
Season 9 was supposed to end with a huge showdown group scene, but it was abruptly canceled. Chrishell later confirmed there was meant to be a big finale confrontation, but it got axed because Mary Bonnet allegedly felt “in danger” with Chelsea Lazkani there. The drama stayed off-camera, but the receipts lived on Instagram and fan discussions.
Viewers who felt the finale was weirdly flat? You were right. Reports and fan analysis described Season 9 as an unsatisfying “rabbit hole of drama” with key conversations never making it to air, largely because of that canceled cluster of scenes .
Cast Feuds & Shade in Designer Packaging
In October 2025, Chrishell Stause and Chelsea Lazkani were deliberately iced out of a Season 9 premiere party at Gravitas in Beverly Hills. The event was hosted by Bre Tiesi and attended by other cast; TMZ reported Chrishell and Chelsea’s lack of invite was intentional, due to “drama brewing” between them and Bre, Emma Hernan, and Mary Bonnet .
Sources claimed Bre wanted a “positive” vibe and didn’t want anyone made “uncomfortable,” so Chrishell and Chelsea were simply… edited out of the guest list .
After announcing her exit, Chrishell then pulled a very 2025 move: fans clocked that she unfollowed most of her castmates on Instagram, which Page Six described as a “shady move” following her shock departure .
Meanwhile, Christine Quinn—long the show’s resident supervillain—was asked by TMZ why now was the right time to come back for Season 10. Her response? “The trash needed to be taken out.” She didn’t name names, but the timing lined up perfectly with multiple women being axed from the show .
Scandals, Lawsuits & Things Producers Reportedly Won’t Touch
Bre Tiesi walked into Season 9 with more than just a glam squad. In April 2024, three former employees sued her, accusing the Selling Sunset star of harassment, discrimination based on sex, gender and/or sexual orientation, and causing emotional distress . The plaintiffs are reportedly seeking over $3 million in damages each .
Coverage of the lawsuit highlighted allegations of abusive work behavior and even physical misconduct. Bre’s legal team has pushed back, arguing she took reasonable steps and did not allow harassment .
Chrishell later claimed on social media that the cast weren’t allowed to talk about Bre’s lawsuit on the show, implying producers had slapped a gag order on one of the juiciest scandals orbiting the office .
On top of that, Chrishell publicly accused Bre of using a transphobic slur for G Flip, her nonbinary musician partner—an accusation amplified across TikTok and Reddit, and one that poured more gasoline on already blazing fandom wars .
Brutal Firings & Casting Chaos
In May 2026, the sun basically exploded over the Selling Sunset cast list. TMZ and Page Six reported that four women were axed in one brutal sweep ahead of Season 10:
Mary Bonnet – OG since Season 1, told in April her contract wouldn’t be renewed; insiders said it was particularly shocking given her long tenure .
Emma Hernan – The empanada queen and crypto-dating story machine, gone after joining in Season 4 .
Chelsea Lazkani – The British-Nigerian glam agent introduced in Season 5, also out .
Sandra Vergara – Sofia Vergara’s sister, introduced in Season 9 and cut after just one season .
Fans immediately connected Christine Quinn’s “trash needed to be taken out” comment to that firing spree, reading it as savage shade aimed at the departing women .
Meanwhile, Bre Tiesi and Amanza Smith reportedly survived the cull and are expected to return, further fueling fan speculation that drama value now outweighs tenure at The Oppenheim Group .
Leaks, Deleted Scenes & How Real Is This Anyway?
Chrishell gave fans a rare peek into the cutting-room floor when she posted about multiple juicy Season 8 scenes that never aired:
A full-blown Tinashe storyline—she said there could’ve been “a whole episode” with the singer, but all of it was scrapped .
A scene where Emma Hernan introduced the guy she was actually dating, with Chrishell admitting she didn’t like him and joking that it might be for the best that the scene was cut .
Cute clips with G Flip, Chelsea, Emma, Mary, and new agent Alanna Gold (plus Chrishell’s rescue dog Gracie) all got binned before reaching Netflix viewers .
Off TikTok, real estate analyst Iain Phillips has gone semi-viral breaking down how many “listings” shown on the series aren’t real sales at all—some properties are simply borrowed for filming and never actually listed by the agents on the show .
In one widely shared clip, an industry insider bluntly suggests that on Selling Sunset“they don’t really sell the houses”, hinting that the real money is in influencer deals, not commissions .
Fans on Reddit have been questioning the authenticity for years, debating whether anything beyond the wardrobe budget is real. The consensus: “reality” is used very loosely in the 90069.
