Selling Sunset Season 5 Trailer
On April 8, 2022, Netflix released the trailer for Selling Sunset Season 5. Unsurprisingly, the trailer is full of all sorts of drama and romance.
Check out the trailer below:
What will be the story of Selling Sunset Season 5?
In the new season, we will finally see Chrishell Stause and boss Jason Oppenheim’s relationship become public knowledge as the couple went public with their relationship in July 2021, sharing photos on holiday in Capri, Italy, alongside Mary Fitzgerald and her husband, Romain Bonnet, and Jason’s twin brother Brett.

The couple had announced their break up by December 2021, around the same time that Season 5 had wrapped, so it is still not clear if the show will see the rise and fall of their romance within the same batch of episodes or not.
In Season 5, Maya Vander, who announced her third pregnancy during Season 4, sadly revealed that her baby was stillborn in December. In the upcoming season, she will be seen pregnant, but it’s still unknown how the makers will address this. There is a possibility that they will edit Maya’s complete story so as to prevent her from any further upset about her loss.
A major event that probably won’t be seen in the upcoming episodes is Heather’s wedding to Tarek El Moussa. The reality star couple tied the knot in Paradise Springs winery in Santa Barbara, and filmed the run-up to their big day for Discovery+ special, Tarek and Heather: The Big I Do.
When asked about the addition of this big event to the reality series, Heather explained on Instagram: “It took Tarek and I months to decide whether or not we were going to film our wedding and all of the planning, events, etc leading up to it and to be honest with you, we were leaning on the side of not filming it.
“A wedding is something so intimate to us and we didn’t want any hate or anyone weighing in on our love but you are our community and we’ve taken you through so much in our relationship so we ultimately did want all of you to be a part of it.”
Who’s in the cast of Selling Sunset Season 5?
All the cast members are expected to return for Season 5, including Mary Fitzgerald, Chrishelle Stause, Christine Quinn, Vanessa Villela, Emma Hernan, Amanza Smith, Heather Young, Davina Potratz, and Maya Vander are all expected to return.
Christine Quinn had some major rift with her co-members, but she has herself confirmed that she would be in “every single episode” of what’s to come. Talking about the rift, In October 2021, she vented her frustrations about her co-stars on Twitter, accusing them of leaving her out of group photos and causing fans to fear she’d left the show.
“Got cut off and I’m soooo tired of addressing this,” she wrote. “I am in every single episode of seasons 4 and 5 of Selling Sunset. The girls leave me out of photos.
“I have real work to do besides sit on my phone and prove 24/7 that I’m filming a TV show. Y’all going to see me.”
There will be a new addition to the series, a British real estate agent Chelsea Lazkani, the Oppenheim Group’s first on-screen Black cast member, will join the cast for the upcoming season.
She told People: “I feel like with great opportunities comes great responsibility. This was kind of my time to give back and to educate and really mentor and push forward Black women in this luxury sector of real estate.
“So just knowing that I’ve got a greater purpose kind of prepared me for this.”
Vanessa Vilella won’t be there for a major portion of the next season because of the result of battling long COVID during the months-long shoot. Vanessa Villela exclusively told Page Six that she wasn’t able to film a good portion of “Selling Sunset’s” forthcoming fifth season due to a “strong” case of COVID-19.
“Out of 11 weeks of filming, I was sick for five. I got COVID in August and we started filming right at that moment, so obviously, they couldn’t wait for me,” said the telenovela actress-turned-realtor, 43, who joined Netflix’s hit reality series in Season 4, which premiered last month.
“I had a very strong COVID case. It’s called long COVID,” she elaborated.
So, we won’t see her in at least half of the upcoming episodes of Season 5.
How many episodes will be there in Selling Sunset Season 5?
Selling Sunset seasons one, two, and three all had eight episodes, while season four had 10. We expect Selling Sunset Season 5 to have 10 episodes as well, but it’s not confirmed yet.
