Production
Series creator Adam DiVello got the idea for the show when he saw an advertisement for the Oppenheim Group in a magazine. "I ripped it out and gave it to my development executive… and I said, 'Call these people. Get me an interview with them'", Divello told Vanity Fair in 2020. "It was pretty remarkable that it's like an all-female ensemble cast, and these two twin brothers were running it. To me, it seemed like a no-brainer."{{cite news |last1=Morse |first1=Sarah |title=Reality "It Was a Little Traumatic": In Season Four, Selling Sunset Gets Real |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021/11/in-season-four-selling-sunset-gets-real |publisher=Vanity Fair |date=22 November 2020}}
