Netflix’s Owning Manhattan Has Been Renewed For Season 2
“The people want more.”
Netflix’s Owning Manhattan is a certified hit — and it’s officially coming back for Season 2. The real estate reality show follows the famed broker and CEO Ryan Serhant as he expands his New York City real estate empire with his skilled (and very dramatic) army of agents.
The show shot up Netflix’s streaming charts following its June 28 premiere, reaching the Top 10 in 30 countries. With those impressive viewing stats, it comes as no surprise that a second season of Owning Manhattan has gotten the greenlight from Netflix.
Serhant himself was among the first to confirm the show’s renewal. On Aug. 27, the real estate tycoon and former Bravo star posted an Instagram video of him constantly stumbling upon the number two as he navigates his way through New York City. Street signs, texts, clocks, and taxis — they all have twos. Even when he arrives at his destination, his meeting is on the second floor.
As the songs “It Takes Two” and “Just the Two of Us” play in the background, Serhant receives a phone call informing him that “the people want more” Owning Manhattan. Luckily, he’s ready with the perfect Season 2 announcement: a giant billboard on his building’s roof.
Fans quickly expressed excitement over the show’s renewal. “Yes! I am so ready,” one fan commented on Instagram, while Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause wrote, “Amazing, congrats!”
The Show’s “Overwhelming” Success
While details of the Owning Manhattan Season 2 release date and cast are yet to be confirmed by Netflix, Serhant teased that fans should “invest in a couch with a seatbelt” as tensions will be “high” in the next season.
“Inventory is low everywhere, which means there are not enough homes for our buyers, let alone our agents,” he recently told Netflix’s Tudum. “So it’s all-out real estate warfare right now, with a lot of pressure on me as CEO to lead us in the right direction. ... Turbulence is coming.”
Speaking of the show’s streaming success, Serhant added that fans’ reaction to Owning Manhattan’s first season has been “overwhelming.”
“Expectations were so high for the fans, and I knew we were going to give them something unexpected,” he said. “Owning Manhattan is so original, and unlike any other show on the air, and to see people fall in love with it on such a global scale is so insane.”
