Will there be a 9th series of Netflix show Selling Sunset?
After a very dramatic series 8...
After season eight of hit Netflix show Selling Sunset dropped in early-September with 11 new episodes and a brand new cast member, fans binged the entire series in a short space of time, lapping up the drama from the agents at The Oppenheim Group.
With the show detailing some serious feuds between the cast, fans are now wondering if the hit reality series will be renewed for a ninth series.
Will there be another series of Selling Sunset?
Netflix are yet to officially confirm if Selling Sunset has been renewed for a ninth series, but with the drama in series eight, we'd be shocked if not!
When did series 8 come out?
On Tuesday 13th August, Netflix released a trailer for series eight, confirming the show would return on Friday 6th September 2024!
The post read: 'the agents are back! and the stakes are higher than a penthouse view. SELLING SUNSET: SEASON 8 premieres September 6'. (sic)
1\1 brand new episodes dropped on Friday 6th September 2024.
When was series 8 filmed?
It's understood filming for series eight took place at the end of 2023 and in early 2024.
Will there be a series 8 reunion show?
With the way series eight ended, fans are gagging for a reunion show, but at the moment, nothing has been confirmed!
Series five and series seven were followed by reunion shows, but series one, two, three, four and six were not, so it's a possibility fans won't see the agents reunite under the watchful eye of Tan France this time round.

Nicole Young
The Oppenheim Group employee Nicole Young joined the cast in series 6. Nicole was originally due to appear from series 1, but she pulled out of the show at the last minute. However, she's now revealed she's ready to live her life in front of the camera, and she certainly brought the drama.

At the end of season 2, Davina was attempting to list a mansion owned by billionaire Adnan Sen for $80 million, something which was still ongoing in season 3. Although Davina occasionally pops up on the show, she's no longer a main cast member.
Christine Quinn
Christine Quinn is one of the most talked-about cast members of Selling Sunset, with her lavish parties and no-nonsense personality.
In season 2 of Selling Sunset, Christine announced her engagement to retired businessman Christian Richard, with the pair throwing a very eccentric engagement party.
Season 3 was also massive for Christine, with her lavish wedding being filmed for the show, as she walks down the alter in a stand-out BLACK dress.
In February 2021, Christine announced she was pregnant with her first child, with the gender reveal reportedly due to play out in season 4. Christine welcomed her baby boy in May.

Speaking to the Radio Times, Mary said: “I think everybody can expect to see a season four probably and hopefully in about six months.

Despite Mary's comments, Netflix released season four on 24th November 2021.
What is Selling the OC?
After The Oppenheim Group branched out into Orange Country in 2021, opening an office in Newport Beach, it was confirmed in November 2021 that Selling Sunset would be getting a spin-off show called Selling The O.C.

Speaking about her son, who she decided to call Christian Georges Dumontet, Christine told PEOPLE: "Baby C is more precious that I could have ever imagined. Nine months seems like a lifetime to wait to meet someone. It is the most incredible feeling to know that you have created life.
“My protective mama bear mentality is stronger than ever. My sole job is to protect him, to love him and to raise him.
"Let's just say he was born with good taste. He has a closet filled with designer outfits that I cannot wait to dress him in!"
Is Selling Sunset scripted?
Of course, just like all of the other great reality shows, such as The Hills, Made In Chelsea and The Only Way Is Essex, Selling Sunset is scripted to a certain degree.
The show's creator, Adam DiVello, who also produced popular American reality shows Laguna Beach and The Hills, told Variety, "I can’t tell you how many hours we would sit in an edit bay just working on one scene. I think most reality shows would have turned it out in a day and we’ll spend a week."
And despite Chrishell Stause telling TMZ Selling Sunset isn't scripted but some scenes are 'amped up', her co-star Christine Quinn revealed to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning that some scenes are 'set up'.
Speaking about how she met her now husband, Christine said, "Well actually, that was amped up a little, I'm not going to lie. I actually met him through a girlfriend of mine, but Mary spun this story that he was a client.
"We were dating for three months and then we bought a house together, but television is fun."
Following the release of series eight in September 2024, Chelsea Lazkani appeared on This Morning where she told hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley: "It's not scripted at all, do you think I would script this season? I would never script anything like this."
Is Chrishell Stause dating Jason Oppenheim?
Following the shock breakdown of her marriage to American actor Justin Hartley, which played out on series 3 of Selling Sunset, Chrishell Stause had found love again, going official with her new boyfriend Keo Motsepe.
Chrishell and Keo met when the reality star took part in the 2020 series of Dancing With The Stars! Although Chrishell was partnered with Gleb Savchenko, she hit it off with fellow pro Keo during her time on the show.
After going public on Instagram, the pair looked seriously loved-up, but at the start of March Chrishell confirmed she'd split from Keo!
HOWEVER, in a shock turn of events in July 2021, Chrishell confirmed she was dating her boss; Jason Oppenheim!
Sharing a number of photos as the cast headed to Italy after wrapping up filming for series four, one snap in particular showed Chrishell and Jason looking rather cosy on a boat, with the caption: 'The JLo effect. 🤷🏻♀️'. (sic)
Despite this, the pair announced their split just days before Christmas in 2021, admitting they are still the best of friends.
In May 2023, Chrishell confirmed that she had married her partner, Australian musician G Flip, a year after confirming they were dating.
When did Selling Sunset start?

Many fans took to Twitter to express their love for the show, one user wrote: ''Oh my gosh. Recently binged the two seasons for selling sunset. I’m actually obsessed! Lol'. (sic)

2. Romain used to be a pastry chef
French model Romain Bonnett, who married Mary Fitzgerald on season 2 of Selling Sunset, actually used to work as a pastry chef!
Back in 2019, he wrote on Instagram: 'Since so many asked me if it was true that I was a pastry chef, here is some of the pasty I used to make. YES IT WAS TRUE !!! 😜😬'. (sic)
3. Selling Sunset is created by the same man who created The Hills
Yes, that's right! The Hills producer Adam DiVello is the creator of Selling Sunset - that guy certainly knows how to make great TV!
4. Jason once had Orlando Bloom's house on his books
The Oppenheim Group's President Jason Oppenheim has worked with some major stars over the years! Not only has he sold houses for the likes of Alex Rodriguez and Lea Black, he was also selling Orlando Bloom's house!
He told us in 2019: "My favourite guy that I worked with is Orlando Bloom. But that's why I'm selling his house right now because he's going to be a dad. So families and marriages are good for real estate."

Selling Sunset fans met Mary Fitzgerald's son during season 2 of the show in 2020, when Austin walked his mum down the aisle for her wedding to Romain.
6. Chrishell was once engaged to Matthew Morrison

The couple first met way back in 2006, with a proposal coming just months later. However, things didn't work out and the pair called time on their romance in December 2007.
7. Heather is now married with a baby
After announcing her new romance with Tarek El Moussa during season 2 of Selling Sunset, just weeks before season 3 hit Netflix, Heather Young announced Tarek had popped the question to her!

8. Christine didn't meet her ex-husband by selling him a house
Although season 2 of Selling Sunset seemed to document that Christine Quinn met her now ex-husband Christian Richard whilst selling him a house, it turns out the pair actually met through mutual friends.
During an interview on This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, she said: "Well actually, that was amped up a little, I'm not going to lie. I actually met him through a girlfriend of mine, but Mary spun this story that he was a client. We were dating for three months and then we bought a house together, but television is fun."
Christine filed for a divorce from Christian in April 2024.
9. Chrishell wasn't part of The Oppenheim Group before Selling Sunset
She's a valued member of the team now, but Chrishell Stause actually only joined the real estate agency when she was signed to appear on the show.
Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello said at the time: "She really is a realtor and has a real estate license selling homes when we met her. I think we were lucky to get her, I think she adds something that is very unique to Los Angeles, and we're doing a show about realtors in Los Angeles. The fact that we have one who's an actress and happens to be married to an actor who's on a very successful TV series is a plus."
10. Mary actually sold a house on her wedding day
As viewers witnessed in season 2, Mary Fitzgerald doesn't stop work for anything... Even her own wedding!
Whilst getting her hair and make-up applied on her big day, Mary took time out to show round a buyer of the stunning house she was using for her venue.
She later told People magazine: "I end up selling my wedding venue on my wedding day, which was amazing. I paused the wedding and sold it in the middle of getting ready. Everyone thought I was out of my mind, but I told the seller when he allowed me to book it for the wedding venue that I won't let the wedding planning or doing it there get in the way of selling it!"
11. The Oppenheim Group now have a Newport Beach office and it's got a spin-off show
At the start of January 2021, Jason Oppenheim confirmed the group have now opened a office in Newport Beach.
In a post on Instagram, he said: 'I'm very proud and excited to announce our new Oppenheim Group office in Newport Beach!! After many years of contemplation, my love for Newport Beach and its exciting real estate opportunities have convinced me to go for it! And if you're going to go, go big, so I found a 4,000 sq. ft. former bank and we are renovating it now - it's going to be the coolest office anywhere, with a full bar, living room, dining area, arcade, pool table, gym, showers, kitchen, vault with whiskey/wine, coffee bar, walls of contemporary art, books, and vintage boom boxes, and who knows, maybe even some desks! Give me a few weeks and I'll post the interior photos 😀'.
It was then confirmed in November 2021 that Selling Sunset will be getting a spin-off show for the new office, called Selling The O.C. - this then aired in August 2022, with a number of series to date.
Other spin-off shows including Selling Tampa.
12. Emma Hernan once qualified for the Olympics
In series 5, Emma casually dropped the fact she'd once swam a time that would have qualified her for the Olympics! However, she gave up swimming when she was 16 to focus on modelling.
13. The cast pay for their own hair, makeup and wardrobe
You've probably noticed the Selling Sunset girls always look absolutely flawless, dripped head-to-toe in designer gear, but Netflix don't actually pay for any of this!
14. Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn used to be friends
Despite their now on-going feud, Chrishell Stause and Christine Quinn actually used to be friends - this was until producers pitted them against each other.
Christine once said: "They wanted us to clash obviously and at first, we didn't. We got along great. We were friends. She was at my house. We were drinking, having a good time. I was getting to know her and the storylines came into play. We thought that we were good at separating things."
What is Selling Tampa?
Selling Tampa is another Netflix reality show! The show, which has also been created by Adam DiVello, will follow real estate agents at Allure Realty in Tampa Bay, Florida.
