Netflix
Several cast members believe racial discrimination played a role in the decision not to renew Selling Tampa for a second season, according to Page Six. Juawana Colbert, a cast member of the show, explains that the very thing that we were showing isn’t what we were showing in the first season. Due to what we addressed as minority women, I feel like we weren’t given a second chance. Selling Tampa debuted on Netflix in December 2021. The cast was completely comprised of women of colour, Colbert, Settlement Reeves, Anne-Sophie Petit, Tennille Moore, Karla Giorgo, Rena Frazier, Alexis Williams and Sharelle Rosado, who is the head broker of Allure Realty, the firm the show is revolved around.

We’re told the women were all left pondering for almost a year whether the show would be picked for a second season, and a source says they were given the runaround. The insider, who asked to stay unknown, tells Page Six the cast got “hundreds” of DMs “day to day” from fans getting some information about another season, yet they didn’t have the foggiest idea what to say. Then, at that point, simply last week, we were informed Adam DiVello, the creator of the “Selling” establishment that likewise incorporates “Selling Sunset” and “Selling the OC,” and maker Skyler Wakil requested that the cast bounce on a Zoom call, where they let the cat out of the bag. Adam DiVello explicitly said [the decision] was connected with numbers yet never gave any extra info, Colbert, 41, says. I couldn’t say whether he was looking at rating numbers or budget numbers. He just said numbers.
This news has broke and it’s so heartbreaking to see. 😢 #SellingTampa was an AMAZING show that showcased successful and super dynamic African American realtors in South Florida. This show and this amazing cast deserved better. @SharelleRosado_ @Juawana11 @AnneSophiePF pic.twitter.com/dglkVOXynA

Netflix’s Cancels Selling Tampa Just After One Season, Cast Members Blame Racism For The Apparent Decision
Selling Tampa has not been renewed for the second season. On Friday 11th November, it was revealed that the Netflix real estate-based series, a side project of Selling Sunset, had been dropped from the streaming service. Set in Florida’s Suncoast, Selling Tampa follows Allure Realty, an all-Black, all-female real estate firm claimed by military vet Sharelle Rosado that has its eyes determined to rule the Tampa market. The cast additionally included Alexis Williams, Anne-Sophie Petit, Province Reeves, Juawana Williams, Karla Giorgio, Rena Frazier, and Tennille Moore. Following the news, one of the cast members took a stand about the cancellation of the series, believing racial discrimination played a part in the decision process. At the point when they show us [black women] from a different perspective — while we’re bickering, battling and ridiculing — they get a Season 2 and Season 3, yet that is not the very thing that we were showing, Juawana told Page Six.
I feel like we weren’t allowed a second opportunity, possibly due to what we addressed as minority women, Juawana added. Juawana proceeded to say that Adam DiVello – the maker of the Selling establishment that likewise incorporates Selling Sunset and Selling the OC – and maker Skyler Wakil requested that the cast bounce on a Zoom call where they broke the cancellation news. Adam explicitly said [the decision] was connected with numbers yet never gave any extra data, Juawana asserted. I couldn’t say whether he was looking at rating numbers or financial plan numbers. He just said numbers. As per Juawana, the numbers excuse doesn’t check out, adding that she and the rest of the cast are persuaded that they are being held to an unjustifiable norm or appraisal assumption. With regards to a minority show of all minority cast individuals, we will normally have lower numbers since we are a minority in numbers [of the population] overall, Juawana said. Streaming service Netflix has not yet publicly revealed the reason for Selling Tampa’s cancellation. Netflix has likewise dropped other 17 different shows this year.
