Netflix has confirmed Selling Sunset will return for season 10, but the cast shuffle is already rewriting the show’s social map. Several stars— including Chrishell Stause, Mary Bonnet, and Chelsea Lazkani—are not coming back, while others like Jason and Brett
For a show built on sharp elbows, Selling Sunset’s season 10 question isn’t just about contracts—it’s about whether the cast can survive another round of fallout.
Netflix has confirmed Selling Sunset is returning for season 10. and the cast has already been hinting at who will be back on camera—and who won’t. The road to this renewal runs straight through season 9’s fractures. Friendships that used to anchor the group weren’t intact by the time the show wrapped. leaving the future of the series feeling anything but settled.
Season 9, which premiered in October 2025, left plenty of emotional debris behind. Emma Hernan was no longer close to Chrishell Stause—or Chelsea Lazkani—after her relationship with then-boyfriend Blake Davis became part of the tension. Chrishell. for her part. was only on good terms with Chelsea. while Chelsea kept her distance from the rest of the cast. The gap wasn’t subtle: Chelsea was specifically at odds with Mary Bonnet and Bre Tiesi after individual feuds played out on screen.
And when the show’s drama peaked, it didn’t end with words. Nicole Young became the cast member with the most drama after Jason and Brett Oppenheim fired her following a controversial group dinner. Most of the show’s stars refused to film with Nicole. and the conflict didn’t just stay in scenes—it spilled into the show’s logistics.
That simmering mess is exactly why the new season lineup matters. Here’s where the biggest names stand right now: who’s expected to return, who’s confirmed to sit out, and who’s still leaving the door cracked open.
Jason Oppenheim
Jason Oppenheim is expected to be back, because it wouldn’t be Selling Sunset without the brothers who put the Oppenheim in the Oppenheim Group.
Brett Oppenheim
Brett Oppenheim is also expected to return, since Jason needs someone to argue with about the hedge in front of their office.
Christine Quinn
Christine Quinn exited Selling Sunset after season 5, which aired in 2022. She teased the possibility of her return to the reality show in February 2026. In March 2026, Us exclusively revealed that “Christine is coming back” for season 10 after nearly four years off the show. The same report added that filming was “supposed to start” but had been “delayed because they are waiting for [Christine] to finish negotiations.”.
Mary Bonnet
Mary Bonnet publicly sounded optimistic about returning—saying, “Absolutely [I will come back]. I think so. ” and adding. “As long as everyone’s on the same page on the direction that we want the show to go in. I’ll always be back.” But news broke in May 2026 that Mary won’t be part of the cast.
Chrishell Stause
Chrishell Stause’s season 10 status was all about weighing consequences. In October 2025, when asked about returning, she told Variety, “The reunion was so brutal. In that moment, I realized I will be done here going forward. I wish everyone the best, but this isn’t the place for me. It felt a little bit like a dog pile,” and added, “I don’t know when they will start filming. I hope they never tell me.”.
A month later, she confirmed her exit. “I’ve gotten to a place where I don’t need the show financially. I’m lucky to have other forms of employment. because it’s no longer good for my mental health. ” she told Bustle. Us confirmed in March 2026 that Chrishell is “not coming back” after previously discussing her need to take a step back.
Heather Rae El Moussa
Heather Rae El Moussa said she would only return if it was with the Selling Sunset cast—not Selling the OC. “If I was to ever go back. it would be with Selling Sunset [and not Selling the OC] — just because that was my group. ” she told Us in July 2025 before her season 9 cameo. She explained, “We were all an office and friends before Selling Sunset was even a show.”.
She added, “I have a rapport with them, I have loyalty with them and I have a lot of history with them. So if I want to go back, it would be Selling Sunset and not Selling the OC.” Us exclusively confirmed in March 2026 that Heather is returning for season 10 after leaving during season 7 in 2023.
Amanza Smith
Despite shifting back to interior design instead of selling real estate, Amanza Smith is set to return in season 10.
Emma Hernan
Emma Hernan stayed guarded about her future. telling Us in November 2025 that it depended on “when the call comes.” She also described how much peace she was enjoying: “I’m really happy with my life right now. and it’s been really peaceful.” She pointed to the reunion as emotionally draining. saying. “It was just such a refreshing feeling to be done with the reunion. because that was so emotionally draining.”.
She added that she’d been spending time on the East Coast with her family and with Blake: “A lot of time with my family, a lot of time with Blake, and I can’t picture at this moment filming again. I’m really happy with where things are at, and we’ll see what happens.”
Emma hinted at a possible departure on the “Untraditionally Lala” podcast. saying. “I was basically done [after] season 8 and I came back to tell my side of the story. I mean. I’m kind of … I’m tapped [out].” She also said she didn’t want to make an official statement. explaining. “I’ll never say never. I don’t like when people say they’re not going to join the show and then they do.” She continued. “I’ve heard that so many times where people are like. ‘I’m never coming back.’ And they’re back every season. ” and added. “A lot of people have done and said that — I’m not naming names.”.
She later reiterated she’s happy with her life and spending more time with her family: “I’ve been trying to spend more time with them. I enjoy being home with the family and I’ve been on the East Coast a lot this year, which has been really nice for me.”
Still, it was confirmed in May 2026 that Emma won’t be back in season 10.
Chelsea Lazkani
Chelsea Lazkani sounded unsure while out promoting. During a red carpet interview at the 2025 National Television Awards. she said she was “undecided” about coming back for more seasons. But Us exclusively confirmed in March 2026 that Chelsea—alongside Chrishell Stause and Nicole Young—is not coming back for another season.
Nicole Young
Nicole Young’s place in the season 10 conversation looks like it was shaped by what happened after she was fired. In season 9, the show showed Nicole getting fired from the Oppenheim Group, and she later claimed it was just for show.
“I still work at the Oppenheim Group. Getting ‘fired’ was just a dramatic story line,” she wrote via Instagram in October 2025. She added, “I wasn’t privy to [it] until I saw the episode where the cast was told I was let go.”
Nicole also hinted she could return in season 10, telling Netflix’s Tudum, “My new priority will be Nashville, but it definitely won’t be goodbye to L.A. real estate.” But a source exclusively told Us in March 2026 that Nicole would not be returning to the reality show for the new season.
Bre Tiesi
Bre Tiesi is likely to return in season 10, but she hasn’t confirmed or denied anything yet.
Alanna Gold
After joining the show one season prior, Alanna Gold was largely missing from most scenes in season 9. She later confirmed her exit.
Sandra Vergara
Sandra Vergara. Sofia Vergara’s sister. joined season 9 later on and told Us in October 2025 that she wanted more of her story on screen. “I came in midseason. So, I just wish I was introduced before,” she said. She also explained. “I don’t come from that world and I am a big personality. but these people had a lot of history with one another. You have to navigate [a lot].”.
She described how that history shaped her feelings about the show: “At first, I didn’t want to watch the show because I wanted to make my own impressions. But then I’m like, ‘F*** it. I’m going to watch the show.’”
She added, “I watched it and I understand why certain people have anger toward certain people. To me, it’s all very unnecessary. It is little things, and how is that a reason for an ongoing feud? Don’t make a thing more than what it actually is.”
It was later confirmed that Sandra wouldn’t be back.
The cast decisions for season 10 aren’t happening in a vacuum—season 9’s fallout is already baked into who feels ready to return and who doesn’t. In a season where friendships splintered. feuds played out on screen. and Nicole Young’s firing triggered a breakdown in filming willingness. the new lineup is also a reckoning of what the group is willing to revisit.
With Netflix confirming the season 10 renewal. the biggest names are now separating into two camps: those expected back—like Jason Oppenheim and Brett Oppenheim. plus returning stars such as Heather Rae El Moussa and Amanza Smith—and those who’ve confirmed exits or been reported as not coming back. including Mary Bonnet. Chrishell Stause. Chelsea Lazkani. Nicole Young. Emma Hernan. and Sandra Vergara.
