FINALLY!

Author: Alex RossPublished 22nd Apr 2022

We are still getting over the DRAMA that unfolded on series four of hit Netflix show Selling Sunset, but hold onto your hats people, because the hugely-antipcated series five has officially landed!

That's right, Netflix bosses today (Friday 22nd April), dropped 10 brand new episodes on the streaming platform, AND there's reunion episode dropping on Friday 6th May!

For the first time in the show's history, series five will also include a fiery reunion episode, showing all of the cast coming together to discuss the drama in the show.

It's now been confirmed the reunion episode will drop on Friday 6th May.

The exciting news comes after OG cast member Mary Fitzgerald revealed that filming had wrapped in January.

Sharing a snap of herself sat in the LA office of The Oppenheim Group, Mary told fans: 'Officially all wrapped on Season 5 and awaiting a release date! 🤭🤭🤭'. (sic)

As fans will know, series five was teased during the final episode of series four, which landed back in November 2021.

Although all of the main cast, including Mary Fitzgerland, Christine Quinn, Chrishell Stause, Heather Rae El Moussa, Maya Vander, Davina Potratz, Amanza Smith, Romain Bonnet, Emma Hernan, Vanessa Villela, and Jason and Brett Oppenheim, are all set to feature in series five, newcomer Vanessa has revealed she will be absent from a lot of scenes.

Revealing she was suffering with COVID-19 during a huge chunk of filming, Vanessa told Page Six: "Out of 11 weeks of filming, I was sick for five. I got COVID in August and we started filming right in that moment, so obviously they couldn't wait for me.

"I'm still dealing with it. I was sick for too long and you're going to see a little bit of struggle with Vanessa in work."

Series five new girl Chelsea Lazkani will also feature heavily in the new episodes.

Check out the Selling Sunset cast below:

Mary Fitzgerald

Mary Fitzgerald has been a popular cast member since season one arrived, with the 40-year-old marrying her French toyboy Romain Bonnet in season 2 in a client's property she'd actually previously listed!


Mary gets dubbed as 'teacher's pet' by her Selling Sunset co-stars, with The Oppenheim Group's founder Jason Oppenheim often giving her the 'best listings' and putting her in charge whilst he's away.

Jason Oppenheim

Jason Oppenheim is the President and founder of real estate brokerage The Oppenheim Group, and is consistently ranked as a top agent in the country.


Alongside his twin brother Brett, Jason is is also a trained lawyer and he's worth an estimated $50 million!

Chrishell Stause

Chrishell Stause joined the show at the beginning of season 1 and quickly become a fan favourite.


Chrishell's shock divorce to American actor Justin Hartley played out in season 3, despite very limited mentions of him throughout the rest of the show.


After Chrishell announced she'd split from new boyfriend, Dancing With The Stars pro Keo Motsepe, at the end of February, fans are hoping the drama will play out in series four.


It was also revealed in July 2021 that Chrishell was dating her boss and co-star, Jason Oppenheim. However, the pair split in December 2021.

Emma Hernan

Model and social media star Emma Hernan joined the cast in series 4.


She has her own own frozen food company, called Emma Leigh & Co and she's also good friends with Selling Sunset star Amanza Smith.


Emma has since become a huge character on the show, creating a strong bond with co-star Chrishell.

Chelsea Lazkani

Real estate agent Chelsea Lazkani joined the cast of Selling Sunset for series 5.


Chelsea, who is British, is married to her husband Jeff Lazkani, and the pair share two children together. However, in 2024, the paired filed for a divorce, with scenes set to play out in series 8.

Amanza Smith

Amanza joined the show in season 2, however it didn't take her long to fit in after being friends with both Jason and Brett Oppenheim and Mary Fitzgerald for a number of years.


The former model is a mum-of-two and worked as a stager before joining to the brokerage as a real estate agent.

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.

Bre Tiesi

Model Bre joined the cast for series 6, admitting she'd only recently become a real estate agent. Her son, whom she shares with Nick Cannon, also appears on the show.

Alanna Gold

Series eight sees the arrival of brand new agent and cast member Alanna Gold. Alanna, who is also a model, appears to take her fellow agents to a Country town she owns in the trailer, telling them: "I own a little Western town in the desert."

Heather Rae El Moussa

Before appearing on Selling Sunset, Heather actually worked as an actress and a model in America. After she started dating Tarek El Moussa in season 1, Heather announced her engagement in July 2020, before going on to marry him in October 2021.


Heather then welcomed a baby boy in February 2023.


Following the seventh series, Heather announced in April 2024 that she wouldn't be returning for series eight, revealing she's now got her own show with her husband Tarek.

Maya Vander

Maya Vander splits her time between Los Angeles and Miami, working for The Oppenheim Group when she's in Beverly Hills.


In season 2 Maya welcomed her first child into the world, a baby boy called Aiden after suffering two tragic miscarriages. She then welcomed a baby girl into the world in May 2021, just days after season 2 aired on Netflix.


Maya confirmed in June 2022 that she will no longer appear on further series of Selling Sunset, but she did appear via FaceTime in series 6.

Davina Potratz

Davina was a more quieter member of the cast and simply got on with her business in season 1 and 2... That was until she made a comment about Romain's engagement ring choice, leading to her being axed from the guest list by the French man.


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.


As Christine has now left The Oppenheim Group, she will not appear in future series.

Romain Bonnet

He's the French model that stole the heart of Mary Fitzgerald (and us), with the pair tying the knot in season 2. Viewers got to see the stubborn side of Romain after his argument with Davina, which led to him not backing down over the guest list plans.


Romain also now works for The Oppenheim Group as a trusted contractor, with him doing construction work for the company's brand new office.

Vanessa Villela

Former actress Vanessa Villela has joined the cast of Selling Sunset for series 4, after making her way into the real estate industry.


Although she was born in Mexico, Vanessa became an American citizen in 2017 and she's been very vocal about her excitement at joining the show.


She didn't appear in series 6 or 7.

Series five will also follow the romance between co-workers Jason Oppenheim and Chrishell Stause.

After sparks started to fly between the pair, Jason and Chrishell confirmed they were dating in 2021, leaving both fans and their co-stars in complete shock. However, the pair decided to split due to differences about starting a family at the end of 2021.

Despite the split, the pair have remained the best of friends and continue to work together.

Fans will also see the continuing drama surrounding Christine Quinn's fallout with her co-workers, including former BFF Mary, as well as Heather's wedding to Tarek El Moussa and Davina's return.

Series one-five of Selling Sunset are available to watch on Netflix now.
