Netflix has been on a cancellation spree this year, leaving fans of several popular shows disappointed and frustrated. Among the most recent casualties are Uncoupled and The Brothers Sun, both of which were axed despite their loyal fanbases. Now, Netflix has added another title to the list: Buying Beverly Hills, a real estate reality series that followed the glamorous lives and professional endeavors of Mauricio Umansky and his family.
The End of Buying Beverly Hills
Buying Beverly Hills first premiered in 2022, offering viewers a peek into the high-stakes world of luxury real estate in Los Angeles. The show centered around The Agency, a real estate firm run by Mauricio Umansky, who is also known as the ex-husband of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards. Adding to the drama, the series also featured Umansky’s daughters—Farrah, Alexia, and Sophia—as they navigated both their careers in real estate and their complicated family dynamics, including the much-publicized split between Kyle and Mauricio.
Despite the intrigue and fan following, Netflix recently confirmed that Buying Beverly Hills would not be returning for a third season. According to Deadline, the decision to cancel the series was made on August 16, citing sources who claimed that the cancellation was due to "viewing numbers versus the cost of production." The show’s second season had only premiered this past March, leaving fans with little time to savor what would ultimately be its final episodes—which is often the unfortunate case with canceled shows.
Fans React to the Cancellation
As news of the cancellation spread, fans took to social media to express their disappointment. X user @joyrosenberg voiced their surprise, posting, "I’m surprised Buying Beverly Hills was canceled." Another fan, @missgiggles30, wrote: "Omg, this makes me so upset that @netflix didn’t want to pick up for Season 3 of Buying Beverly Hills. Damn I love this family so much. They are so good at what they do I love this show & was invested in learning about the business of housing."
The show’s unique blend of real estate expertise and family drama had clearly struck a chord with viewers, many of whom had grown attached to the Umansky family and their journey. The cancellation leaves a void for fans who had hoped to see more of the behind-the-scenes workings of The Agency, as well as the personal stories of its key players.

Luckily, while Buying Beverly Hills may have reached its end, fans of the Umansky family still have something to look forward to. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, where Kyle Richards has been a central figure for years, has reportedly started filming its 14th season. This means that while the real estate reality show may be gone, viewers might still catch glimpses of the family on RHOBH.
As Netflix continues to make tough decisions about its content, fans are left to wonder which of their favorite shows might be next on the chopping block. For now, those who enjoyed Buying Beverly Hills will have to settle for rewatching old episodes or hoping that another network might pick up the series in the future.
