After a whopping 14-month hiatus that left fans refreshing their Netflix homepages and wondering if their favorite luxury real estate soap opera had sold its last mansion, Selling Sunset is finally back for its ninth season. And oh boy, get ready: the drama is about to reach new heights—and probably new square footages, too.

The long wait is over! Selling Sunset, the show that gives you equal servings of jaw-dropping Los Angeles properties and jaw-dropping arguments over who said what at last night’s dinner, returns with what promises to be its most explosive season yet. This isn’t just another stroll through The Oppenheim Group’s glass-walled offices; season 9 is packed with fresh faces, former friendships falling apart, and rumors swirling faster than a bidding war in Bel-Air.
The excitement for the new season was set in motion back in November 2024 when Amanza Smith delighted fans on TikTok with the simple yet oh-so-sweet message: “And we’re back,” brandishing the hashtag #SellingSunsetSeason9. The comment section? Absolute mayhem. Apparently, the world had missed its fix of staged open houses and not-so-staged drama.
The Cast: Who’s In, Who’s (Almost) Out, and Who’s New
Netflix finally lifted the curtain in July, revealing the cast lineup for this much-anticipated season. Returning are all your favorites—and possibly your least favorites, depending on whose side you’re on:
- Chrishell Stause
- Chelsea Lazkani
- Emma Hernan
- Nicole Young
- Alanna Gold
- Mary Fitzgerald
- Amanza Smith
- Bre Tiesi
- Jason and Brett Oppenheim
But that’s not all: say hello to the newcomer, Sandra Vergara. If her last name rings a bell, that’s because she’s Sofía Vergara’s sister—and honestly, if she brings half the energy to the office that her sister brings to any role, the other agents had better buckle up.
In her own words, “I’ve always had an eye for design and a love for people, so combining that in real estate just clicked.” Sandra confessed to Tudum that she always thought the women of Selling Sunset were incredibly dynamic. Now that she’s on the inside? “It’s a whole different level of excitement.” Buckets of popcorn at the ready.
Feuds, Rumors, and a Return Worth the Wait
It wouldn’t be Selling Sunset without a hefty dose of cast drama. This season starts out hot, with talk of falling outs—including a possible rift between besties Chrishell Stause and Emma Hernan (RIP to friendship goals everywhere).
Of course, all eyes were on Nicole Young. Rumors began flying earlier in the year that Nicole might not be returning for the drama-laden ninth installment. According to a TMZ report in January, she was “put on pause” due to ongoing issues with, you guessed it, Chrishell and other cast members. Sources hinted that Nicole had been abruptly removed from filming in November after what was described as an “explosive incident” during an all-cast dinner.
This set the rumor mill spinning. Nicole later spoke up, telling Us Weekly she was not fired but that her shooting schedule was paused “in order to protect me from situations on set that had become very contentious.” She wasn’t sure if she wanted to continue filming, citing “so many infuriating double standards.” (Spoiler: she’s not one to leave things quietly.)

But, as only Selling Sunset can deliver, the tale has a twist. By April, Nicole confirmed that she’s back in action. She told Us Weekly, “I don’t know how many episodes. I don’t have any deciding factor over that, but yeah, I’m absolutely in [season] 9.”
Season 9: Get the Popcorn (and Maybe a Hard Hat)
With new faces, old rivalries, and more Hollywood real estate eyecandy than ever, season 9 looks like the juiciest yet. The formula is the same: stunning homes, stiletto-sharp tongues, and at least one dinner party that goes from bubbly to brawl in record time. If you came for the drama, you’ll leave with a full plate. And if you came for interior design inspiration—well, just wipe the fingerprints off your tablet after scrolling through those glossy property shots.
So buckle up: Selling Sunset season 9 is officially here. Consider this your friendly reminder—never underestimate a real estate agent with something to prove, a glass of champagne in hand, and a million-dollar view behind her. Happy streaming!
