Netflix isnt wasting any time delivering its latest batch of bingeable reality TV. The streaming giant is giving the people what they want: multi-million-dollar homes and enough quality drama to keep your butt glued to the couch all weekend long, also known as season three of Selling Sunset .
The reality show (from the masterminds behind The Hills and Laguna Beach, FYI) stars realtors Chrishell Stause, Christine Quinn, Amanza Smith , Maya Vander, Mary Fitzgerald, Heather Rae Young, Davina Potratz, and their bosses, Jason and Brett Oppenheim, who run The Oppenheim Group .
The series, once a hidden gem in an expanding collection of Netflix reality shows , dropped its second season mid-quarantine, which earned the show a whole new crowd of fans vicariously house-hunting in Los Angeles along with the leading ladies' billionaire and celeb clients. Beyond jaw-dropping homes (and price tags), viewers got to watch the women fall in and out of love, test each others friendships, and generally stir up drama in public places.
The first two seasons saw no shortage of name-calling, bandage dresses, and digs aimed at the Valley (and anyone who lives there). Now, season threes storyline is promising much of the same, plus so much more that youand even some cast membersnever saw coming.
Selling Sunset season 3 will premiere Friday, August 7th.
Yup, that's right. Since the third season's already been filmedwhy wait? Netflix tweeted that the third season would drop just over two months after the second. And so fans would have a little taste of what's to come, the season two finale wrapped with a quick preview of season three.

You're in for a gothic wedding, a surprise divorce, someone FINALLY selling that 44-million-dollar house, and there's even talk of ditching The Oppenheim Group and its "egotistic males." If seasons one and two are any indication, the third season will most likely be broken down into eight episodes, too. (Is that enough? Frankly, no!)
Chrishell Stause' divorce from Justin Hartley will be front and center.
After two years of marriage to Chrishell, This Is Us star Justin Hartley filed for divorce in November of 2019 citing "irreconcilable differences." And according to the season three sneak peek, Chrishell didn't see the split coming. "I'm just kind of in shock with it all," she says in a voice over. The next scene shows her teary-eyed and telling Mary, "I love him so much, this was my best friend. Who do I talk to now?"
Apparently, things get even more raw from there. "Where the show picks up, that was my life and, unfortunately, you are going to follow the journey of thatthe good and the bad," Chrishell told Entertainment Tonight . And though the former All My Children star has agreed to have her life play out on camera, don't expect her to live tweet the experience or anything. "When it gets to the bad, I am going to go under a rock, and I am going to go off the grid."
Yes, Christine's wedding will get the screen time it deserves too.
Fans were introduced to Christine's then-fianc, Christian Richard, a retired software engineer at the start of season two. She'd kept her relationship with the millionaire on the DL for a whileeven Christine's BFF Mary had no idea Christian popped the question until after it happened.
Fast forward to December 15, 2019, the couple tied the knot in a super-private, but lavish-AF ceremony (because of course). If you thought their engagement party , inspired by a Britney Spears' "Boys" music videozebras and allwas elaborate, wait 'til you get a load of their "gothic winter wonderland" wedding next season. Until then, here's what you have to look forward to: a black wedding dress, a Victorian carriage, and a cake "which appeared to bleed when cut into," per People .
Of course, this just wouldn't be a Selling Sunset wedding if it was drama-free. Like Mary Fitzgerald's nuptials to Romain Bonnet which closed out season two, the season three preview shows Chrishell walking out of Christine's wedding saying, "I don't want to be here right now. I don't want to do this anymore."
Davina's still looking for someone to buy that $80-million house.
Remember that enormous compound Jason told Davina not to take on because it would be too hard to sell? Well, she's still on the hunt for a buyer. In the preview, Jason basically tells her "I told you so," as they discuss next steps.
"I'm just telling you, we are never going to sell that listing, and we are walking away from that house," he says. Butttt Davina has a plan. She's bringing Christine on to help her get it off the market and land that million-dollar commission.
