Selling Sunset returned for season 9 in October 2025, and as usual, there’s never a dull moment at The Oppenheim Group. In between managing luxury real estate deals for stars like JoJo Siwa and Tinashe, the show’s central cast of agents dealt with their fair share of drama. The season began with cast member Nicole Young being dismissed from the office after feuding with co-stars Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan. But that was hardly the only feud: Mary Bonnet and Chelsea Lazkani fell out after Mary questioned how genuine Chelsea really was, and tensions flared between new agent Sandra Vergara and Chrishell after Chrishell’s assistant claimed that Sandra once keyed her car.
During filming, the cast was also rocked by the tragic January 2025 L.A. wildfires, which damaged or destroyed more than 18,000 residents’s homes. By the end of the season, the office’s star employees had firmly split into two separate friend groups, setting the stage for an all-out war in the future. By the end of the "brutal" season 9 reunion, battle lines were clearly drawn, and viewers were left wondering if the cast had hit a breaking point.
So, will Selling Sunset return for season 10? Keep reading to find out what to expect from reality TV’s buzziest agents.
Is 'Selling Sunset' renewed for season 10?
The sun hasn't set for the Selling franchise yet. Netflix officially announced Selling Sunset's season 10 renewal in April 2026, after six months of speculation. The streaming giant dropped the news alongside a surprising casting update—more on that below.
Before the renewal, the season 9 cast shared their thoughts on the show's future. During an October 13 interview with TooFab, Nicole said that she feels like the show might “be past the point of no return.”
“I kind of think the show has run its course,” she added. “I think at certain times, it’s gotten a bit dark. You need to have these positive, fun, lighthearted moments as well…When [the show] seems like it’s just all dark, that’s kind of when we need to wrap it up…And I think we’re at that point.”
Nicole’s co-star Mary Bonnet disagreed, telling TooFab that although there “might have to be some changes moving forward,” she believes that Selling Sunset will get a season 10. “I think that the season is very, very good, and we’re going to have good ratings,” she said. “I don’t think [Netflix is] just going to drop [the show] for no reason.”
When will 'Selling Sunset' season 10 come out?
It looks like the wait for Selling Sunset season 10 won't be as long as fans have feared. On May 19, TMZ reported that the series is set to begin filming "in the next couple weeks in Los Angeles."
For comparison, season 9 was filmed between November 2024 and January 2025, before landing on Netflix that October. If production follows a similar schedule, new episodes could arrive in the first half of 2027.
Who will be in the 'Selling Sunset' season 10 cast?
Get ready for a major cast shake-up. First off: Netflix has confirmed that Christine Quinn and Heather Rae El Moussa are returning to Selling Sunset for season 10. Speaking to Tudum, both original cast members hinted that they're returning to the show as wiser women. Christine says, "I’m returning from a very different place, with more perspective, confidence, and clarity." And Heather: "I’m calmer, more grounded, less reactive. I know what I want, and I’m not afraid to say it."
Meanwhile, TMZ has reported that Mary Bonnet, Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani, and Sandra Vergara have all departed the series ahead of season 10. According to the outlet, the four stars "were informed back in April that their contracts would not be renewed ahead of production on the upcoming season."
Meanwhile, Alanna Gold revealed on Instagram that she decided to step away from the show last February. And of course, Chrishell Stause announced her departure soon after season 9 premiered, telling Bustle that "Jesus Christ himself" could not convince her to return, despite her
So, that means the Selling Sunset season 10 cast (so far) will feature Christine Quinn, Heather Rae El Moussa, Amanza Smith, and Bre Tiesi. Though Netflix hasn't addressed whether new stars will be joining the series, TMZ has also reported that Selling the O.C.'s Alex Hall is in talks to transfer to Sunset as a full-time cast member. (The O.C. spinoff is currently in limbo, as Selling production is reportedly prioritizing Sunset this year.)
As of the time of writing, Mary, Chelsea, Emma, and Sandra have not publicly spoken about the TMZ report. Last November, Chrishell was candid about the issues behind her exit, telling Bustle that she reasoned that she could no longer tolerate working with Emma, whose boyfriend, Blake Davis, she alleged treated Hernan poorly and has racist, homophobic views. She also claimed it was challenging to be on the show as the only publicly queer cast member, as well as to be going through IVF with her partner G-Flip (who identifies as nonbinary) during the filming process.
Shortly after the season 9 premiere, Chrishell alluded to Variety that she was struggling with her relationships with the cast members. Though she said she "liked" filming season 9, she hinted that "way it culminate[d] with the reunion" was a step too far.
"The reunion was so brutal. In that moment, I realized I will be done here going forward. I wish everyone the best, but this isn’t the place for me. It felt a little bit like a dog pile," she told the outlet.
Meanwhile, Hernan told US Weekly in early November 2025 that she wasn't sure if she would return if cameras started rolling on season 10.
"It's one of those things where we’ll see when the call comes. But I’m really happy with my life right now, and it’s been really peaceful. It was just such a refreshing feeling to be done with the reunion, because that was so emotionally draining," she said. "I’ve been just really enjoying my time on the East Coast. A lot of time with my family, a lot of time with Blake, and I can’t picture at this moment filming again. I’m really happy with where things are at, and we’ll see what happens."
It also remains unclear how much of a role Nicole will play in a potential season 10. At the end of Selling Sunset season 9, episode 3, The O Group bosses Jason and Brett asked Nicole to leave the Oppenheim office after her fights with Chrishell and Emma came to a head during Amanza’s Friendsgiving dinner.
According to Nicole herself, though, she was never actually fired from the company. She clarified the terms of her employment as an independent contractor in a Tudum interview published on October 29, explaining, “Not coming into the office and continuing to work and do business, that wasn’t a huge deal.” Still, she added, “That storyline was frustrating for me.”
She also mentioned that she’s currently preparing to move to Nashville, so it seems unlikely she’ll appear much in future episodes—but the reality star didn’t rule out a return to the silver screen entirely. “My new priority will be Nashville, but it definitely won’t be goodbye to L.A. real estate,” Nicole told the outlet.
What would 'Selling Sunset' season 10 be about?
Before the cast shake-up was announced, the biggest question for Selling Sunset season 10 was how they would address Chrishell's departure and the fallout from the tense season 9 reunion.
Much of the off-screen drama that had brewed in the nine months between filming felt like it was percolating below the surface and reaching a head by the time season 9 premiered. For casual viewers who don't follow the social media between seasons, as mentioned above, Chrishell had a public feud with Blake, Emma's on-again, off-again boyfriend, in May 2025. At the time, she described Blake as Emma's "MAGA bf who told [her] pronouns are dumb and that he likes to use the N word."
Fast-forward to the October season 9 premiere, and Emma and Blake are seemingly back together. In Chrishell's Variety interview, she alluded to how she ended her friendship with Emma after the couple resumed dating. "Over time, I had to understand that they are aligned, and that is her choice. But it’s not something that I want in my life," she told the outlet. "We were best friends—me, her, and Chelsea, who she also doesn’t speak to anymore. It’s a sad situation."
Meanwhile, speaking to Tudum on the day of the reunion's airing, Emma confirmed that "there’s been no progress" between her and Chrishell since the reunion.
She said, "I wish that there was some positive progress, but I’m okay with where things are at. Ultimately, I can’t change people’s opinions of anything, so I’m going to let it be where it is right now. It was very emotional at the reunion, and there were moments that were really, really difficult. Things are not where they were with Chrishell and [me], but ultimately, I really just want her to be happy. I hope that everything goes really well in her life, and I hope that deep down inside, she wants the same for me."
Now that the Emma-Chrishell storyline won't continue, nor the Chelsea-Mary storyline, it's very unclear what conflicts will power season 10. Only time will tell.
