## Spoilers
### Premise
The series follows the high-stakes world of luxury real estate in Los Angeles through the staff of The Agency, the family-run firm that represents some of the most lavish properties in Beverly Hills. Mauricio Umansky, the firm's co-founder and CEO, appears alongside his daughters Farrah and Alexia and a group of agents navigating listings, relationships, and office competition.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/buying_beverly_hills) • [5](https://www.tvline.com/news/buying-beverly-hills-cancelled-netflix-season-3-mauricio-umansky-1235320091/) A recurring thread is succession inside a family business: the show includes casual accusations of nepotism as agents discuss who might next lead the firm.[6](https://time.com/6991849/netflix-real-estate-shows/)
Umansky was already familiar to reality television audiences as the husband of [Kyle Richards](https://www.edgepedia.org/kyle-richards), a cast member on Bravo's *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*, where he had been a fixture since 2010.[5](https://www.tvline.com/news/buying-beverly-hills-cancelled-netflix-season-3-mauricio-umansky-1235320091/) • [6](https://time.com/6991849/netflix-real-estate-shows/)
### Seasons
**Season 1** premiered on November 4, 2022, with 8 episodes.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/buying_beverly_hills) • [3](https://uk.newonnetflix.info/info/80993568) Its cast centered on Mauricio, Farrah, and Alexia, with Richards making only a brief appearance.[7](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/buying-beverly-hills-season-2-release-date-news) The season introduced other Agency agents, including Ben Belack, Joey Ben-Zvi, Melissa Platt, Brandon Graves, Santiago Arana, Sonika Vaid, and Adam Rosenfeld.[7](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/buying-beverly-hills-season-2-release-date-news)
**Season 2** released all 10 episodes on March 22, 2024.[4](https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/80993568) It added Sophia Umansky, a recent college graduate, as The Agency's newest intern, and featured Richards more prominently as the series chronicled the lead-up to and fallout from her separation from Umansky, including a family meeting in which the couple addressed the split with their daughters.[7](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/buying-beverly-hills-season-2-release-date-news) • [5](https://www.tvline.com/news/buying-beverly-hills-cancelled-netflix-season-3-mauricio-umansky-1235320091/) The season also revisited the origin of The Agency: Umansky had begun his real estate career at Hilton & Hyland, the firm co-owned by his brother-in-law and former boss Rick Hilton, and says his request to be made a partner was denied, prompting his exit and a lasting rift between the two families.[7](https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/buying-beverly-hills-season-2-release-date-news)
## Cancellation
On August 16, 2024, Deadline reported that Netflix had opted not to renew the series for a third season, months after the second season premiered. Sources cited by the outlet attributed the decision to viewing numbers versus the cost of production.[2](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/buying-beverly-hills-canceled-netflix-224520095.html) TVLine confirmed the cancellation and noted that the run ended at a total of 18 episodes.[5](https://www.tvline.com/news/buying-beverly-hills-cancelled-netflix-season-3-mauricio-umansky-1235320091/) Netflix retained comparable real estate programming, including *Selling Sunset*, *[Selling the OC](https://www.edgepedia.org/selling-the-oc)*, and *[Owning Manhattan](https://www.edgepedia.org/owning-manhattan)*.[2](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/buying-beverly-hills-canceled-netflix-224520095.html)
## Reception and context
The series sits within a boom in real estate reality television on Netflix, where shows pair luxury property tours with personal drama. Compared with *Selling Sunset*, *Buying Beverly Hills* put a single family firm and its succession question at the center, with Umansky's daughters as prospective heirs.[6](https://time.com/6991849/netflix-real-estate-shows/) On Rotten Tomatoes the series holds an average Tomatometer score of 15 percent.[1](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/buying_beverly_hills)
