Buying Beverly Hills Show Canceled After Two Seasons

Netflix has officially canceled its reality series "Buying Beverly Hills," just two months after the premiere of its second season. The decision not to proceed with a third season comes after a review of the show's viewership numbers in relation to its production costs, as confirmed by Page Six and Deadline. The series, which starred Mauricio Umansky, the estranged husband of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards, focused on his work at The Agency alongside his daughters, Farrah Brittany and Alexia Umansky, and introduced his third daughter, Sophia, in the latest season. The show provided a glimpse into Umansky's personal and professional life, including family tensions stemming from his estrangement from Richards and a complicated relationship with his brother-in-law, Rick Hilton. In a trailer for Season 2, Umansky expressed his frustrations with Hilton & Hyland, the brokerage he left to start his own company, citing a lack of support and partnership from Hilton and co-founder Jeff Hyland. The family feud escalated when Paris Hilton, Rick's daughter, publicly defended her father, criticizing Umansky for using the Hilton name to promote his show. She described Rick as a "consummate gentleman" who avoids speaking negatively about family matters, expressing frustration over Umansky's repeated references to the Hilton name in his narrative. The cancellation of "Buying Beverly Hills" marks a significant shift in Netflix's reality programming strategy, as the platform continues to evaluate the profitability of its original content.
