Is There a 'Selling Sunset' Season 8 Reunion? What We Know
There's been even more drama off-screen since the latest installment of the reality series hit Netflix.
Spoilers for all episodes of Selling Sunset season 8 ahead. There's a solid argument that Selling Sunset season 8 is the most dramatic of the Netflix reality TV juggernaut. Not since Chrishell Stause's surprise split from Justin Hartley has the real-estate docusoap been rocked by drama with real-world, life-altering consequences. Before season 8 even hit streaming, several Selling Sunset stars spoke out about what they saw in advanced screeners. They criticized both fellow cast members and the show's producers on how they handled Chelsea Lazkani's marital struggles and Nicole Young's accusations that Emma Hernan was involved in infidelity.
Since the latest installment arrived on September 6, 2024, viewers have caught up on all 11 drama-filled episodes. Following the release, stars like Chrishell, Chelsea, and Bre have continued to chime in on social media about off-camera happenings related to this season's drama—leaving fans with more questions than answers. Understandably, fans wonder whether the Oppenheim Group realtors will reunite to hash everything out in a season 8 reunion. Below, find everything we know about a potential Selling Sunset season 8 reunion.
Will there be a 'Selling Sunset' season 8 reunion?
It looks like all of the post-season 8 discord will remain off-camera. On September 11, Variety reported that "Netflix will not be filming a reunion for Season 8 of the show." Netflix did not comment on the report, but as each day passes with no word from the streamer, a possible reunion looks less and less likely (As of the 11th, the streaming giant has yet to address any of the Selling Sunset cast's criticisms about the latest season.)
Even before the Variety report, an official season 8 reunion didn't seem likely based on the show's timeline. Netflix previously released Selling Sunset reunion specials following seasons 5 and 7, which were announced ahead of the season's premieres.
What have the cast members said about Nicole Young and Emma Hernan's feud?
While Nicole and Chrishelle's feud has been going on for multiple seasons, season 8 focuses on the allegations Nicole made about Emma. Throughout the season, Nicole shares a rumor from a "reliable source" that Emma had an affair with a married man. She brings up her claim multiple times on camera. She also tells other realtors, including Bre Tiesi and new cast member Alanna Gold, about the gossip, even calling Emma "hypocritical" for allegedly supporting Chelsea while being at the center of infidelity rumors herself.
Since August 31, Chrishell and Chelsea have defended Emma on social media, accusing Nicole of spreading a "disgusting lie," and blasting the show's producers for not allowing Emma to defend herself. Emma has not addressed the claims herself, though she did post a cheeky Instagram reel with Chrishell, which included the caption, "when someone talks sh*t about your non-confrontational bestie."

Meanwhile, Mary Bonnet—one of Nicole's closest friends and was on-screen when she first mentioned the rumor—shared her thoughts in an interview with Us Weekly.

"Emma explained it to me but it was nothing like what Nicole said," Mary told the outlet on September 6. "So I just feel really bad that she’s going to be put into that light. In my opinion, even if something like that happened, I don’t agree with it. But you don’t do that to the world—you don’t blast someone out like that."
Mary added of Emma, "She’s very picky with who she dates. So I can’t imagine it’s true. I feel bad. She doesn’t deserve to be called out like that. Especially the fact that it’s not true.”
What have the cast members said about Chelsea Lazkani and Bre Tiesi's feud?
Chelsea has also spoken out about the behind-the-scenes machinations surrounding her sit-down with Bre, in which Bre told Chelsea that her husband Jeff Lazkani had been accused of cheating. A great deal of Chelsea's season 8 arc following the reveal came from Chelsea questioning Bre's motives for bringing up the Jeff allegation on-camera, and whether Bre had actively intended to ruin Chelsea's life.
On September 7, Chelsea wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that Bre knowingly brought her friend Amanda Bustard on the show to share the Jeff allegation. (Bre has denied knowing what Amanda's tea was before they filmed the scene.) Chelsea also claimed that she was the one who set up the scene where Bre directly told Chelsea the rumor.
Chelsea wrote, "Pt 1: Outside of filming Amanda contacted Bre about 'tea' - while filming, Bre orchestrated a fake call during her showing which 'led to a sit down scene with Amanda' …in other words: she set this scene up with production, already knowing said tea to bring it to tv."
She continued, "Pt 2: I hear what is swirling while filming, and I ask production to set up a scene with Bre. I did this so she could tell me directly, so that it’s not past around to a trillion people before me. Hope this helps!"
Bre shared her side in a September 10 interview with Entertainment Tonight. According to Bre, she found out about Chelsea's husband's infidelity off-camera in December 2023, and subsequently called Hernan so she could tell Lazkani. She said that, at that point, “Chelsea calls me directly. We have a full conversation. Very, very clear. She knows exactly every detail, and we were in good standing.” Bre added that three months later in March, she filmed the scene with Amanda and saw the receipts of the cheating for the first time.
Which of the cast members have threatened to leave 'Selling Sunset'?
After season 8, at least two of Selling Sunset's stars declared they would rather leave the show than film with a certain cast member. In a September 4 interview with Extra, Chrishell doubled down on her claim that she would not continue on the series if Nicole remained a cast member.
“I will never work on a show with her again," she told the outlet of Nicole. "After eight seasons and seeing someone systematically try to plot against several people ... Why are we giving her more airtime? The audience doesn't want to see this or hear this. When somebody’s just hungry for camera time and lies, the audience is over it."
Meanwhile, Chelsea has put her foot down against the casting of Amanda Lynn, who was teased as possibly joining the show in season 8's final scene. In a September 6 tweet, Chelsea referenced Amanda's previous tweets that had recently resurfaced, writing, "Made it clear and putting it in writing, if racist Amanda is on the show as a cast member. I’m out."
