Selling Sunset is an American reality television series created for Netflix by Adam DiVello. The series revolves around the Oppenheim Group, a high-end real estate brokerage firm in the Los Angeles and San Diego areas (with offices in West Hollywood, Newport Beach and the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego), and follows a group of agents as they navigate their personal and professional lives.[1][2][3] The show premiered on March 21, 2019.
The first season premiered with eight episodes on March 21, 2019; featuring Mary Fitzgerald, Brett Oppenheim, Jason Oppenheim, Christine Quinn, Chrishell Stause, Maya Vander and Heather Rae El Moussa (then Young) as the main realtors, alongside Romain Bonnet and Davina Potratz who served in recurring capacities.
The show returned for a second season on May 22, 2020; with the entire cast of the first season returning. Bonnet and Potratz were promoted to the main cast. Amanza Smith was added as the newest real estate agent and interior designer. The third season premiered on August 7, 2020 with the show's entire cast returning.

The show returned for its fourth season on November 24, 2021; introducing Emma Hernan and Vanessa Villela as the latest additions to the series, whilst Bonnet was demoted to a recurring capacity. Chelsea Lazkani was added to the cast ahead of the show's fifth season, which premiered on April 22, 2022.[6]
On June 23, 2022, Netflix renewed the show for a sixth and seventh season.[7][8] Just before production started on the sixth season it was reported that main cast member Christine Quinn would not be returning for the show's sixth and seven seasons.[9] Filming for the sixth season started in August 2022 around Los Angeles.[9]

Series creator Adam DiVello got the idea for the show when he saw an advertisement for the Oppenheim Group in a magazine. "I ripped it out and gave it to my development executive… and I said, 'Call these people. Get me an interview with them'", Divello told Vanity Fair in 2020. "It was pretty remarkable that it's like an all-female ensemble cast, and these two twin brothers were running it. To me, it seemed like a no-brainer."[15]
Netflix has announced two spin-offs of the show, Selling Tampa and Selling the OC. Selling Tampa premiered on December 15, 2021 with 8 episodes and follows the Allure Realty firm in Florida.[16] Selling the OC follows the Oppenheim Group branch in Newport Beach.[17] The show premiered on August 24, 2022[18] with 8 episodes.
Celebrities such as Chrissy Teigen have questioned the authenticity of the show.[19] A long-term real estate agent in LA told the Mail that "The Oppenheim brothers are the real deal but none of us have ever come across the women they have working for them. It's clear these 'girls', as they call them on the show, were hired to make the show sizzle."[20] Star Chrishell Stause has fought back against the accusations, going so far as to post a picture of her real estate license online to dismiss the rumors.[21]
