Netflix has renewed unscripted series Bling Empire and Selling Sunset, while the streaming service has also ordered two more series from the creators of those two shows.
Brandon Riegg, Netflix VP of Unscripted and Documentary Series, said the following about their “docusoaps”: “These shows follow a person or group of people (like family, friends, or coworkers) going about their real, everyday lives. They can offer a fun, light-hearted escape, or inspire a juicy, heated debate. They can provide a glimpse into a world different from our own, or even show a new side of our own circles. (And yes, they’re usually filled with more feuds, tears and tense dinner parties than our regular lives.)
“Whether you love these shows outright or just love a guilty pleasure, we’re thrilled that Netflix members have embraced our docusoaps. Today we’re excited to announce renewals for Selling Sunset and Bling Empire, plus two can’t-miss new series from the creative talents behind those favorites.”
SELLING SUNSET
Selling Sunset has been renewed for two seasons. Set in the world of LA’s high-end real estate, Selling Sunset follows the city’s most successful realtors who all work under the same roof at The Oppenheim Group, the #1 agency in the Hollywood Hills and the Sunset Strip. They work hard and play harder, as they compete with the cutthroat LA market… and each other.
Joining Jason and Brett Oppenheim are Chrishell Stause, Christine Quinn, Mary Fitzgerald (and Romain Bonnet), Heather Rae Young, Amanza Smith, Maya Vander, and Davina Potratz. Adam DiVello is the executive producer, while the production companies are Done and Done Productions and Lionsgate.
UNTITLED NEW SERIES
Netflix has also ordered a new series from the creator of Selling Sunset. Along the Florida coast, Allure Realty stands out among the crowd. Owned by military vet Sharelle Rosado, this all Black, all female real estate firm has its eyes set on dominating the Suncoast. These ladies are equally as fun as they are fiercely ambitious, with all of them vying to be on top of the lavish world of luxury waterfront real estate. Sharelle has big plans for her brokerage and won’t let anyone or anything get in the way of making her dreams a reality.
The series comes from executive producer Adam DiVello and the production company is Done and Done Productions.
BLING EMPIRE
Bling Empire, which premiered in January, has been renewed for a second season. Bling Empire follows a wildly wealthy group of Asian and Asian American friends (and frenemies) in Los Angeles. While their days and nights are filled with fabulous parties and expensive shopping sprees, don’t let the glitz and glamour fool you. Between running multi-billion dollar businesses and traveling the world, these friends are as good at keeping secrets as they are at spilling them. And there is certainly no shortage of secrets.
The executive producers are Jeff Jenkins, Ross Weintraub, and Reinout Oerlemans. The showrunner is Brandon Panaligan, while the production companies are Jeff Jenkins Productions, in association with 3BMG.
MY UNORTHODOX LIFE
And from the executive producer of Bling Empire comes My Unorthodox Life, premiering later this year. This series centers around the personal and professional life of fashion mogul Julia Haart – former member of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community turned CEO of Elite World Group. Since taking the reins of a global talent empire, Haart has been on a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out – all while being a mother of four.
Her children include a TikToker, an app designer, a lawyer, and a high schooler torn between two conflicting cultures, and Haart helps them reconcile their Orthodox upbringings with the modern world. My Unorthodox Life takes you on a journey through Julia Haart’s untamed, unpredictable, and unorthodox life.
Jeff Jenkins, Ross Weintraub, Reinout Oerlemans, and Julia Haart are the executive producers.
The showrunner is Lenid Rolov. The production companies are Jeff Jenkins Productions, in association with 3BMG.
