Earlier this week, Netflix announced that the Oppenheim couches are ‘getting a little more crowded’ this season.
“Vanessa Villela, a Mexican-American novela star turned real estate agent and Emma Hernan, an entrepreneur who has an interesting history with the ladies have joined the cast,” the streaming service tweeted.
Like Chrishell (who was a soap opera star before trying her hand at real estate), Vanessa has also made the switch calling it her ‘latest passion’. The new cast member wrote on Instagram: “I was able to manifest this dream of blending my background in acting with my latest passion in real estate.I want to help empower and show others to never give up on yourself or your dreams.”
Emma also shared a post to her Instagram account, writing: “The secret is out!!! I am beyond excited to announce I will be joining the cast of @netflix Selling Sunset! Can’t wait to share more about my life and career in season 4 coming soon!!”
What happened in season 3 again?
Right, well as season 2 and 3 were dropped so closely together, we’ll give you a little recap.
While season 1 was all about introducing us to the ridiculously lush life that these high-end real estate agents lead and gave us a good dose of house porn thanks to the sneak peeks of the gargantuan homes in the Hollywood hills, season 2 was all about the group’s dynamics.
Mary and Chrishell had become firm friends, with Christine, Davina and Heather being seen as the ‘mean girls’. Maya was still living her best carefree life and we were introduced to Amanza, the newest agent and one of Mary’s long-time friends. So clear sides had formed.
The end of season 2 saw Mary and Romain get married in a beautiful backyard wedding and we pick up with the gang in season 3 with some fresh drama courtesy of Davina and Christine who accused Heather of staging paparazzi photos with her new beau, fellow reality star Tarek El Moussa.
