Netflix‘s high-end real estate show, Buying Beverly Hills, has been canceled after a two-season run. Deadline reported why the streaming service dropped the estranged Real Husband of Beverly Hills‘s show after a buzz-worthy sophomore season.
The Agency’s Founder and CEO, Mauricio Umansky, spearheaded a sales team of agents, including his daughters Farrah Brittany and Alexia Umansky. This came after he famously ended his working relationship with his brother-in-law/mogul, Rick Hilton.
Why Was Buying Beverly Hills Canceled?
After the success Mauricio had on-camera with Kyle Richards for over a decade on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bravo TV fans found themselves surprised the real estate agent’s show has been cut from Netflix’s lineup.
“The unscripted series, which premiered in 2022. Sources say the cancellation had to do with the viewing numbers versus the cost of production.”
While Buying Beverly Hills will no longer film, Netflix will move forward with its other real estate shows including Selling Sunset, Selling the OC, and Owning Manhattan.
The drama:
IMHO, Buying Beverly Hills really stepped up its game during it’s second season. This is why I’m baffled that it was canceled. Audiences got more honesty and transparency from a B-storyline of Buying BH than we got on a decade of Real Housewives of BH about Mauricio and Kyle’s marriage (and imminent separation.)
The second season of BBH focused no only on his marital issues with Kyle, but his history with his brother-in-law, Rick Hilton. Audiences finally learned why Mau chose to start an agency outside of the Hilton name.
The future of The Agency:
The show may be over, but The Agency will seemingly continue to do business. During a recent trip to Los Angeles, Taste of Reality noticed homes that were for sale by Alexia. So, hopefully, the family business doesn’t suffer as a result of the show getting cut from Netflix’s roster.
After a Succession-inspired storyline for season 2 of BBH, Farrah and Alexia’s younger sister, Sophia joined the team. The nepo babies found themselves in conflict with non-family members on the staff fighting to make names for themselves.
I, for one, felt BBH really found its footing in its second season, but what do I know…
