Exclusive: Netflix has opted not to renew Buying Beverly Hills for a third season. The news comes months after the show’s second season premiered in March.

The unscripted series, which premiered in 2022, centered around Mauricio Umansky and his staff at The Agency, which included his daughters Farrah Brittany and Alexia Umansky.

Sources say the cancellation had to do with the viewing numbers versus the cost of production.

Although Buying Beverly Hills will not move forward, Netflix has similar shows on deck like Selling Sunset, Selling the Oc, and Owning Manhattan.

Season 2 of Buying Beverly Hills leaned into the real-life drama between Umansky and his marriage to Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards. Umansky openly discussed his marital troubles on camera, and the Netflix series also featured several appearances of Richards.

Another issue discussed during the second season was the rift between Umansky and his brother-in-law,...

The celeb family and wrestlers will soon be joined by a group of Mormon women who are swingers.

The streamer is currently working on docuseries The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Hulu has ordered a new social experiment competition series “Got to Get Out” from Wheelhouse.

The format will showcase participants living in a mansion for 10 days as they vie for a cash prize that increases by $1 each second they’re in the game. As contestants compete in physical and mental challenges, more money will be added to “the pot,” with up to $1 million at stake.

Upon completing the series, participants will be given the choice to take an equal share of prize money, or they can attempt to steal it all for themselves. To steal the pot, they’ll have to escape the mansion via its front gate — but in this game, getting out is easier said than done.

At random intervals, the gate will open and a getaway car will appear for contestants to attempt to leave with “the pot” while contestants will have opportunities to block others’ attempted exits.

Hulu has ordered Got to Get Out, a competition series from Wheelhouse that was created by Glenn Hugill, the president of Wheelhouse’s UK arm.

The Big Brother-like series will consist of 10, hour-long episodes and feature participants living together in a mansion for 10 days while they compete in physical and mental challenges. Participants can stick together and take an equal share of the prize money at the end of their stay, or they can choose to go rogue and attempt to steal the full pot of money for themselves.

To win the $1 million prize, contestants have to escape the mansion via a single exit: the front gate. However, in this game, getting out is easier said than done. At various times during the game, the gate will open and a getaway car will arrive, presenting an opportunity for cast members to betray their comrades...

Hulu is jumping into the competition-series game with a series that will put people in a house and pit them against one another for a big cash prize.

Big Brother? Nope. The Traitors? Also no. The Disney-run streamer has ordered Got to Get Out, a competition show/”social experiment” with echoes of the prisoner’s dilemma — the thought experiment where people can work together for mutual benefit or go solo for a potentially greater reward. The show comes from creator Glenn Hugill and the U.K. arm of Jimmy Kimmel and Brent Montgomery’s company, Wheelhouse. A premiere date hasn’t been set.

Got to Get Out will feature contestants living in a mansion for 10 days, with a pool of prize money rising by $1 every second (there are 864,000 seconds in 10 days). The players will also work together on challenges to increase the prize money up to $1 million. They can stick...

Hulu has ordered 10 episodes of a new social experiment series from Glenn Hugill, creator of “Deal or No Deal,” “The Mole” and “Puzzling.”

The competition series, currently titled “Got to Get Out,” will “test the loyalties of a group of strangers vying for a major payday,” according to the official logline. Participants will live in a mansion together for 10 days as they compete for a cash prize that increases by $1 per each second that the contestants are there. A total of $1 million is at stake as physical and mental challenges add even more cash to the prize.

Throughout the competition, “participants can stick together and take an equal share of the prize money at the end of their stay – or they can choose to go rogue and attempt to steal the full pot of money for themselves,” per the logline.

To win the full pot, participants have to exit the...

It’s a wrap for Buying Beverly Hills Season 2 filming. The Netflix occu-series has concluded filming for the second season of the show that follows agents and clients within Mauricio Umansky’s real estate company The Agency in Beverly Hills.

Buying Beverly Hills Season 1 premiered on November 4, 2022, with Netflix dropping all eight episodes all at once. Umansky leads the show working alongside his daughters Farrah and Alexia, who is dipping her toes in the family business proving she’s got the abilities to be the next realtor star.

Exclusive: Who’s actually cooking those tasty meals?

That’s the concept behind Secret Chef, Hulu’s newest unscripted series from Executive Producer and chef David Chang. Ten contestants from all walks of life – from professional chefs and home cooks to social media influencers – are isolated in a secret underground kitchen labyrinth connected by a series of conveyor belts.

Guided by a “mischievous animated talking hat,” the chefs are tasked to perform a series of cooking challenges. However, there are no judges, and the chefs must rate each other’s final dishes in blind taste tests. With their true identities concealed, everything will be hidden except the one thing that matters most … the food.

All 10 episodes of the series will drop June 29. Contestants are Alexa Santos of Fort Lauderdale, Fl; Anthony Bar, Los Angeles, CA; Anthony Langston, Denton, TX; Danielle Harris, Washington, D.C; Jazmin Tyler, Santa Monica, CA; Joshua Walbolt,...

Mauricio Umansky and The Agency are opening the doors for a second season.

Netflix has renewed Buying Beverly Hills for a second run, coming after the property reality series launched in November.

The show follows Umansky’s The Agency in Beverly Hills, California and the agents and clients selling property in the desired 90210 zip code and surrounding area.

Umansky, who has sold houses owned by the likes of Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan and Prince, runs the agency with his daughters Farrah and Alexia. He’s a well-known figure in reality TV, being married to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards.

The series is produced by Wheelhouse’s Spoke Studios and Just Entertainment and exec produced by Brent Montgomery, Pam Healey, Will Nothacker, Justin W. Hochberg, Liz Fine, Adam Sher, Deanna Markoff, Ed Simpson and Luke Neslage.

Netflix is doubling down on property.

The streamer has handed breakout reality series Selling Sunset a two season order – taking it through seasons six and seven and ordered a slate of new property, real estate and renovation shows.

Production on season six of high-end real estate series Selling Sunset, which follows the likes of Chrishell Stause, Christine Quinn and Mary Fitzgerald and their colleagues at The Oppenheim Group, will start later this summer.

The series, which is produced by Lionsgate and Done and Done Productions, is exec produced by creator Adam Divello, Sundee Manusakis, Kristofer Lindquist, Skyler Wakil and Jason Oppenheim.

VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” is samba-ing to a new night.

The South Beach spinoff of hit series and franchise-sparker “Love & Hip Hop” will return to the Viacom cable channel on Wednesday, Jan. 2 at 8/7c. Fans of the South-Florida version of the show will want to update their DVRs from Monday recordings to Wednesdays.

The New York City-version will air on Mondays as “Miami” holds down Wednesdays. That means VH1 gets a double-dose of tune-in — and TV ratings are the strength of the reality-show universe.

“Love & Hip Hop: Miami” marked VH1’s highest rated reality launch since 2014 when it debuted last January, and the various incarnations of “Love & Hip Hop” regularly rank as cable’s No. 1 unscripted show on Monday nights.
