Selling Sunset season 8: Everything we know so far

Selling Sunset season 8 will be released on Netflix on September 6, 2024. The upcoming season was green-lit by Netflix when the season 7 reunion was dropped on the platform on November 15, 2023.

While talking to the Hollywood Reporter on November 15, 2023, Jason Oppenheim confirmed the renewal news and discussed starting the filming for the upcoming season.

“For me, each season gets more and more fun. When we were doing season 1, we were like, ‘If we can get to season three, we had a real show. Anything above that would be icing.’ We’ve been running on icing for years now,” he said.

The Oppenheim Group will be back and go through professional and personal struggles and stand their ground in the competitive real estate business in Los Angeles and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Selling Sunset season 8 cast: Returning and new

Cast members Brett and Jason Oppenheim, Amanza Smith, Chrishell Stause, Chelsea Lazkani, Emma Hernan, Bre Tiesi, and Nicole Young will return for the eight-season of Selling Sunset.

Bre Tiesi was discontent with how the commission split worked at The Oppenheim Group, and her return to the reality show was doubtful. However, her role in the show was confirmed after season 7, and she can be seen with her flare personality in the season 8 trailer.

Drama is not just limited to the returning cast, Alanna Whittaker will be making her debut, as seen in the trailer, and trying to make her mark. Alanna also confirmed her arrival with an Instagram post captioned "Secret's out."

The Heather Rae El Moussa fans might need to worry about her. After going on maternity leave and a reduced role in season 7, the real estate agent's appearance in the upcoming season is quite uncertain. Marie-Lou Nurk's return in the upcoming season is also a bit worrying.

Heather Rae El Moussa's uncertainty about the real estate show could be due to her working on the HGTV show The Flipping El Moussas. In an interview with E! News on August 9, 2022, Brett Oppenheim talked about her situation on the show.

“I think for now she’s able to do both...I know she’s still going to be at The Oppenheim Group. I think that’s with her and production and Netflix and all that,” he said.

Selling Sunset season 8 Trailer and what to expect

Netflix released a Selling Sunset season 8 trailer on August 13, 2024. The trailer of the reality show explored the end of Chelsea Lazkani and Jeff Lazkani's marriage. The couple's split could take centre stage this season.

They filed for divorce in March 2024, and fans will get to see behind the scenes how it happened and how it affected the pair and their two children. In the trailer, Chelsea cries and says she doesn't want to do this.

The incident is also a talking point among the cast members as they gossip about the pair throughout the Selling Sunset trailer. Nicole Young hints about Chelsea Lazkani and Jeff Lazkani's split, saying:

“I heard information that could really affect families, marriages...”.

Mary Fitzgerald and Jason Oppenheim's dog passed away in March 2024, and this incident will be discussed in season 8 of the reality show.

While the aftermath of The Oppenheim Group's expansion in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, was not teased in the trailer, fans can expect that it will play an important role going forward in the show.

Season 8 could show the real estate market slowing down and agents unable to close huge deals. This situation will create stress and drama among the cast members.
