We knew that 2026 was going to see some real estate reality TV shakeupshowever the information that broke final week was shocking to say the least: Promoting Sundown Season 10 will see a significant solid shakeup, with solely 4 members returning.
What occurred
After the Season 9 Promoting Sundown reunion, Chrishell Stause introduced that she wouldn’t be returning for the following season resulting from a falling out with former bestie Emma Hernan.
On April 10, 2026, Gio Helou, a solid member on Promoting the OC, a sister franchise of Promoting Sundownintroduced on his Instagram that the present is on “indefinite pause,” saying, “I believe we will all type of learn in between the traces there.”
The identical day, Cosmopolitan reported“Surprisingly, drama among the many solid isn’t the rationale for the filming delay. As a substitute, it’s Promoting the OC’s sister-show, Promoting Sundownthat’s the issue. Sources say that filming ‘hit a snag’ amid a ‘solid shakeup,’ so Netflix is prioritizing getting it ‘up and working’ once more.”
The snag? Greater than half of the solid isn’t coming again. That features Chrishell Stause, Nicole Younger, Chelsea Lazkani, Emma Hernan, Mary Bonnet, Alanna Gold and Sandra Vergara. Who’s left? Amanza Smith, Bre You knewBrett Oppenheim and Jason Oppenheim. Additionally returning for the season are Christine Quinn and Heather Rae El Moussa. And there are rumors that Promoting the OC‘s Alex Corridor might be making the transfer over to LA.
Mary Bonnet’s take
To get the lowdown on what’s happening, Inman sat down with authentic solid member Mary Bonnet. What follows is that dialog, edited for size and readability.
Inman: I’m listening to that you just’re not coming again for Season 10. Is that true?
Bonnet: That’s true. I’m not in alignment with the present and with manufacturing, and never saying that I gained’t be again on season 11 if issues go effectively with the brand new shakeup and all the things. However for season 10, I gained’t be on. I’m specializing in another issues.
So then, simply to place down rumors, was it your option to step away?
I made the selection, however then manufacturing and I simply will not be on the identical web page, usually, so it was a mutual type of choice on this one, as a result of I’m not participating in something that they have been attempting to do on Season 9, however I’m not fired, to make that clear. I’m very a lot nonetheless the vp of the Oppenheim Group … It’s merely the present, and the imaginative and prescient of it. And I need it to be extra ladies empowerment, and never what it has been.
Returning to the solid are Amanza Smith Bre Tiesi, Brett Oppenheim and Jason Oppenheim. And it’s rumored that Alex Corridor from Promoting the OC is coming too. Is that true?
I’ve heard that too. I haven’t requested Jason about it. I believe it’s true, primarily based on who I’ve heard it from, however I really didn’t ask Jason. Once I talked to him yesterday, he was getting out of a scene, and he was like, ‘Babe, we want you again.’
You’re associates with Heather Rae El Moussa, however Christine Quinn type of left you on a bitter observe. What are your ideas on her return?
I don’t maintain something towards Christine … It’s unlucky that she modified the way in which that she did from the woman I knew earlier than … She was a Texas woman and didn’t have make-up on. She would prepare dinner and stuff, and we’d simply have a blast.
She was like a standard, enjoyable, nice woman, and I believe that the celebrity type of acquired its claws in her a little bit bit. And she or he stopped seeing individuals as human beings, and we have been characters. And so, it’s only one character doing stuff to a different character, and he or she forgot that we’re people.
And in order that’s the place I believe issues went unhealthy, the place I simply couldn’t be round it anymore, or defend her anymore … I don’t maintain grudges. I believe she’s gonna be good for the present, particularly with the entire recast … she’s very charismatic and entertaining and humorous. I’m all for her coming again to the present.
How do the opposite solid members really feel about her return?
I believe (Bre Tiesi) thinks it’s going to be attention-grabbing. She is aware of from tales and from simply studying what occurred earlier than, however Bre’s Bre, and nobody’s gonna intimidate her.
(Heather Rae El Moussa) is a little more on the fence. She’s a giant woman, and he or she’s toughened up lots over the previous couple of years with (Tarek El Moussa), and he or she speaks her thoughts now. And she or he’s not the most important fan of Christine.
We’ll undoubtedly be watching. What’s subsequent for you?
I’m not likely as concerned with OC or San Diego. I is perhaps although quickly, as a result of they’re doing means higher than LA. LA actual property is horrible proper now, so I used to be eager about taking place to OC for the summer time and beginning to get enterprise that means. Identical to renting my home out and renting the place down there … both that, or like perhaps Montecito type of space to see about opening up an workplace up there.
Trying again at your time on Promoting Sundown — it’s been 9 seasons — is there something you’ll take with you?
I’m very grateful for the present. I’m grateful for my platform that I’ve now. I believe it has opened up lots of doorways, and it’s given me a voice I’d by no means have had earlier than, and I need to use that for good … I’ve needed to toughen up.
I’ve all the time been very delicate of criticism and judgment, and yeah, you’ve acquired to toughen up on that one once you’re on this place, as a result of everybody talks. Everybody says stuff, and so they don’t notice that you just’re a human being, and you’ve got emotions, and that is your actual life and your actual popularity. I’ve needed to toughen up for positive, which is nice, as a result of I’m very delicate.
