Season 5 adds Chelsea Lazkani to the main roster and, for the first time, pairs the season with a separately released reunion special hosted by Tan France — a format addition that sticks around for every season after it.

01The take

The reunion becomes part of the format.

A new agent, a full season, and — for the first time — a reunion episode that becomes part of how the show gets watched.
02The shape of the season

A rhythm worth tracking.

Season 5 welcomes Chelsea Lazkani to the main cast and introduces something new: a standalone reunion special, hosted by Tan France and released two weeks after the season itself. It's the first time the show pairs its ten-episode run with a separate reunion format, and the addition sticks — future seasons keep the two-part structure. The season itself keeps the brokerage's established office dynamics front and center.

03Where it sits in the canon

The #03 slot.

Slot #03 of 6 in the Selling Sunset Editor's Canon. Season 5 adds Chelsea Lazkani to an already large roster, but the real news is structural: a standalone reunion special, hosted by Tan France and released after the main run, gives the cast a second stage to work through a season once it's aired. That addition sticks around for every season that follows, which makes Season 5 a genuine hinge point for the format rather than just another ten-episode run. The season itself keeps the brokerage's office dynamics front and center, and the roster is large enough now that the ensemble carries real weight. It's a confident, format-expanding season that just misses the top tier.
