Mauricio Umansky’s Netflix show ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ canceled after only two seasons
Netflix has pulled the plug on one of its popular real estate series.
Just two months after Season 2 of “Buying Beverly Hills” premiered, the streaming service decided it won’t be moving forward with a third installment of Mauricio Umansky’s reality series, Page Six can confirm.
Per Deadline, industry insiders said the decision was made after reviewing viewing numbers versus production costs.
Starring Umansky, the estranged husband of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards, the series followed him and his staff at The Agency, which includes daughters Farrah Brittany and Alexia Umansky. Season 2 saw the addition of Mauricio’s third daughter Sophia as she followed in her father’s footsteps.
The series also gave viewers insight into the luxury real estate agent’s family troubles with his estranged wife and rocky relationship with his brother-in-law Rick Hilton, which played an important role in his decision to branch off and start his own brokerage.
“I think I got kind of f–ked by Hilton & Hyland,” the real estate expert said in a trailer for Season 2 which was released in March.
“And when I say f–ked, you know, like, today I’m happy, but there was a hundred agents at Hilton & Hyland. They did a billion dollars for the first time a year. I was 19.6 percent of their production.”
Mauricio revealed the family feud started after Hilton and the business’ co-founder Jeff Hyland declined his request for equity and partnership status.
At the time of the preview’s release, Rick’s daughter Paris Hilton stood up for her father online saying he’s a “consummate gentleman” who “has always taken the higher road.”
“He would never speak negatively about his family- especially in the press,” the “Simple Life” star wrote.
“Frankly we are all sick of him using the Hilton name every chance he gets to plug his lame show. It is enough already.”
