Christine Quinn Predicts When Selling Sunset Will End

Selling Sunset alum Christine Quinn predicts an end to the Netflix reality show after the new season, citing a loss of originality. Selling Sunset has been a highly successful reality series since its debut in 2019, following Jason Oppenheim’s Oppenheim Group, and his group of agents navigating their career and personal lives. Christine was one of the original cast members, alongside Heather El Moussa, Chrishell Stause, Mary Fitzgerald, and Brett Oppenheim. Over time, the show has introduced new additions like Emma Hernan, Vanessa Villela, and Chelsea Lazkani. Likewise, some cast members have also exited the series, including Christine, who left the show following the fifth season.

The Selling Sunset’s Christine Quinn has since revealed she saw no long-term future for the show. During an interview with People, the star admitted she stayed in touch with other cast members since her departure, enough to know the original magic that attracted viewers was gone, giving the series a different vibe. She blamed this on the introduction of new characters, which ultimately dilutes “what people fell in love with.” Owing to this variety and lack of originality, Christine believes subsequent seasons would appeal to viewers as a different show, explaining, “They have to get to know a lot more characters. It’s not as glamorous. It’s not as fun anymore.”

Christine Says Selling Sunset Would End In Current Season

According to Christine, the implication of this is that fewer people would tune in. Those that do would lose interest with time as the difference hits them. Looking at the stakes, Christine was convinced that the days of Selling Sunset were numbered. “I think it’s probably going to be the last season of Selling Sunset. I’m not the only person who thinks that.” Notably, Netflix confirmed the renewal of the show for its sixth and seventh seasons in June. While the cast has concluded filming of season 6, season 7 was already in the works, with Heather recently confirming Netflix was yet to call her to begin filming since her maternity leave.

Christine has been a staple on Selling Sunset for years, winning fans over with her luxury lifestyle and drama, while burning bridges with several costars thanks to her snarky remarks, officially becoming the show’s antagonist. By the end of season 5, she was at odds with other cast members, with her fate hanging by a thread. Christine eventually announced her decision to quit the series and establish her own real estate firm. Like Christine, more original cast members could exit the series, leading to new replacements filling in the vacant spots in Oppenheim Group. While that ensures the continuity of the business, Christine is right to think it also spells the show’s detriment.

Understandably, viewers fell in love with most of the original cast members, like Chrishell and Heather, and have tuned in for years to watch these women broker juicy deals. However, without them, Selling Sunset would seem different. Aside from the new faces, the drama would be a far cry from what most viewers anticipate, ultimately taking the path of an entirely new show. Yet, stopping this group of ambitious realtors from furthering their careers, starting up their own companies, or exploring other TV opportunities isn’t feasible. By implication, it isn’t a matter of whether Christine’s prediction would come to pass, but when it will and how prepared the network would be to proffer a workable solution to the drop in ratings and viewership.
