Alex Hall and Fiona Belle Reveal What’s Next for Selling the OC

So, short version: Selling the OC is on ice, and the cast is as in-the-dark as we are. The cameras are not rolling on season 5 right now, and the energy around the franchise is shifting back to Selling Sunset.

Where things stand

• At the 2026 Revolve Festival in Indio, California on Saturday, April 11, Alex Hall (37) said they are not filming season 5 right now. She hinted there is something in the works, but they can’t talk about it yet. Fiona Belle (23) echoed the same: stay tuned, exciting things are happening.
• TMZ reported last week that the Selling the OC cast was told there would be no filming this year, with production attention moving to a new season of Selling Sunset led by Jason and Brett Oppenheim.
• Cast member Gio Helou tried to cut through the rumor fog on Instagram, saying the show is not officially canceled but on an indefinite pause.

"We are not officially on the chopping block, but we are on an indefinite pause. So I think you can read in between the lines there."

Alex and Fiona on the pause

Alex is surprisingly at peace about it. She feels the show had a strong run after premiering in August 2022, and says season 4 was her personal high point. In the meantime, she’s keeping busy with her podcast, 'Pretty Dirty With Alex Hall,' and teased more projects coming.

Fiona’s keeping it positive too. No doom and gloom, just the classic reality-TV 'watch this space ' energy.

Meanwhile, Selling Sunset is revving up

Both Alex and Fiona are amped to watch and support the flagship show’s next run, with some familiar faces potentially returning. Us Weekly previously reported that Heather Rae El Moussa and Christine Quinn are set to rejoin the franchise for what would be season 10, though Netflix hasn’t made anything official. Alex says she talked to Christine recently, heard Heather is back, and thinks Bre Tiesi may be in the mix. They’re fully in support mode from the sidelines.

Favorite memories from the OC run

Alex looks back most fondly at season 1, when the group was figuring out reality TV in real time and got hit with a social media tidal wave. The shock of that bonded the cast and turned into real friendships. Fiona singles out the Palm Springs trip as chaotic but genuinely fun. If you watched it, you know exactly what she’s talking about.

What happens next

This part’s fun: Alex is campaigning for Fiona to jump onto a dating show. Her pitch is basically that Fiona is young, confident, and would crush it on TV in that format. File under: not the worst idea.

Bottom line: Selling the OC isn’t filming right now, and the signs point to a long pause while Selling Sunset takes center stage. The cast isn’t calling it over, and they’re hinting at other projects. Until there’s a firm update, consider this a hurry-up-and-wait situation.
