The BBC has axed a popular property series that was designed to take on Netflix‘s Selling Sunset in a huge blow to fans.
Reality show Crazy Rich Agents: Selling Dream Homes first aired in 2023 and featured five rookie real estate brokers who gave up their old jobs to make a career in luxury real estate.
They ditched steady salaries and were taken on by the London branch of US property firm Nest Seekers and given the opportunity to sell million-pound mansions in the UK and beyond – paid entirely by commissions.
Only one four-episode series ever hit screens and it was seen as a rival to a similar property show on Netflix, Selling Sunset, which also features Nest Seekers.
Among the brokers were Krish, a former building society worker and a born hustler, ex care home worker Georgie, former model Vanesa, and Aly.
However, it has been revealed that there will be no further instalments of Crazy Rich Agents, according to The Sun.

One of the show’s tycoon, Daniel McPeake, previously hit out at Crazy Rich Agents being compared to the Netflix hit.
He said: ‘Selling Sunset has a whiff of b******* – it’s a reality show with fantastic, beautiful people in mini-skirts showing penthouses.
‘But there’s nothing underneath the bonnet, nothing to show people how to do it or what’s going on in real estate – it’s a complete farce.
‘That’s not the show we wanted to make. This is not LA, this is London. It’s cold, it’s rainy and you’ve got to get the Tube.
‘They may be talking about million-pound homes but then go back to sleep on their sister’s sofa – that is the actual reality.’
Nest Seeker’s US CEO, Eddie Shapiro previously said: ‘We look for the next rising stars.
‘We like to invest in them, empower them, help them grow and become the next superstars.’

One penned on X: ‘Seriously….these are a bunch of pumped up school kids, with zero property experience. I wouldn’t let them sell bananas. This is the BBC going all Channel 5.’
Another agreed, writing: ‘The agents are so bad what even is this programme.’
Meanwhile a third added: ‘So no one sold anything and the only thing that looks possible has come via Ali’s sister and a Saudi guy who is himself an agent fit someone else. Not v successful then.’
