Why Netflix’s biggest reality shows including Love is Blind and Selling Sunset could be canceled
As an ardent fan who has been glued to my screen for countless hours binging on Selling Sunset and Love Is Blind, this news about Netflix shifting away from unscripted content leaves me feeling like I’ve just been blindsided by a Real Housewife’s catty comment!
Netflix’s top-rated reality series such as Selling Sunset and Love Is Blind might face uncertainty, given that Netflix is moving towards reducing its focus on unscripted programming.
As reported by Deadline, Netflix recently dismissed Damla Dogan, their Director of Original Unscripted Programming, and Todd Hurvitz, the Director of Non-Fiction, from their positions.
Their exits come just months after Netflix brought in NBCUniversal chief Jeff Gaspin as their new VP of Unscripted.
Gaspin entered with a goal to guide Netflix toward larger production styles that align better with the familiar programming found on traditional broadcast networks, such as The Voice, instead of the more confrontational “reality TV” series like the Real Housewives collection.
Previously, he clarified to Deadline that instead of concentrating on smaller formats, we aim to prioritize larger, broadcast-like programs as opposed to cable-styled ones.
He noted that throughout his career, he has overseen operations at NBC as well as Bravo, giving him a comprehensive understanding of both entities. He emphasized that he truly appreciates the distinctions between them.
Essentially, using a platform such as Netflix enables content to become genuine worldwide sensations, not just popular compared to other programs they offer.
As a devoted fan, I’ve eagerly watched the creation of “Building the Band,” a spectacular competition series that our favorite streamer has already filmed. In this showcase, a stellar lineup of celebrity judges handpicks a fresh musical group from a pool of 50 gifted vocalists, each vying for their chance to make it big in the music industry.
‘Some of the things we are going to do are definitely a little more broadcast replacement, Building The Band being one of those shows. There hasn’t been a new US-based boy band in a while,’ he explained.
The innovative approach adopted by Netflix might lead to the decline of cable-style reality shows such as Love is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, and Selling Sunset, even though they maintain impressive viewership numbers.
In its initial week, Love Is Blind’s seventh season has climbed up to rank third on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 list, accumulating more than 1.1 billion minutes of viewing time.
In the role of a passionate devotee, I’m thrilled to share that our sixth season truly outshone itself, climbing up the charts and claiming the coveted position as No. 1. To put it in perspective, an astonishing number of more than two billion minutes were invested in watching it.
Selling Sunset has enjoyed consistent popularity, frequently ranking among the top 10 shows according to Nielsen for much of its eight-season run.
In the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category, it received Emmy nominations for three consecutive years (2021, 2022, and 2023). On the other hand, Love Is Blind has accumulated a total of six Emmy nominations over time.
A spin-off titled “Selling The OC,” based in Orange County, has likewise gained massive popularity on Netflix. In fact, it momentarily held the top spot as Netflix’s most-watched unscripted series worldwide back in May.
The news comes after Selling Sunset’s season 8 reunion was canceled amid ongoing cast drama.
As a die-hard fan, counting down the days until the new season drops, I can’t help but share my excitement (and a touch of gossip) about Chrishell Stause’s recent statement. She’s made it clear on social media that she won’t be collaborating with co-star Nicole Young anymore, alluding to their ongoing conflict. It seems the drama between them is far from over!
In the heat of things, I found myself caught up in a heated dispute between Chelsea Lazkani and Bre Tiesi, as they clashed over accusations that Bre had unearthed infidelity allegations against Chelsea’s husband, Jeff Lazkani. This revelation not only fueled the disagreement but also sparked questions about how such sensitive information was disseminated.
Additionally, Stause claimed that the production crew sprung the accusations about Young’s affair on Emma Hernan without warning, denying her the opportunity to express her side of things in front of the cameras.
