The pause button has been pressed for yet another Bravo reality show. According to TMZ, production on the long-running series “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” has reportedly been paused after 15 seasons.
A source told the outlet that the real estate-themed reality show has not officially been canceled by the network but that it’s “current incarnation” has ended.
“Million Dollar Listing” premiered in 2006 and made stars of cast members Josh Flagg, Tracy Tutor, Josh Altman, and more.
Several MDLLA Stars Left the Series
The pause news comes five months after Altman and his wife Heather announced their departure from the show. “Million Dollar Listing LA has been a hell of a ride,” the couple announced in an Instagram post in October. “The memories, friendships, experiences, sales, the highs, the lows and the doors it has opened we will forever be thankful for. NO REGRETS.”
Altman later told Us Weekly he wanted to focus on spending more time with his young children, Ace and Lexi. “We can always go out there and sell houses,” the real estate guru explained to the outlet. “But we’ll never get the time back when our kids are this age.”
According to People magazine, fellow MDLLA stars Flagg and Tutor, who previously worked at Douglas Elliman, have also jumped ship to rival firm Compass.
The moves pave the way for a revamped cast should MDLLA be picked up for a 16th season.
Bravo Has Multiple Shows on Pause
NBCUMVRHONJ Season 11 cast
There have been many pauses for Bravo shows over the past few years. In 2024, a lengthy pause for “Vanderpump Rules” resulted in a complete reboot with a new cast for season 12. “Winter House” and “Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard” were also put on pause last year.
Several “Real Housewives” shows have been paused, most notably “The Real Housewives of New Jersey,” which remains in a long limbo. “The Real Housewives of Dubai” only had two seasons before being paused. And the Miami franchise actually returned in 2021, albeit on Peacock at first, eight years after its initial pause.
In a November 2024 interview with People magazine, Bravo producer Andy Cohen said it was “smart business” to put certain shows on a “deep pause.” “We just want to make sure we get everything right and be very deliberate with everything we’re doing,” he explained. “We love these shows; we all want to get it right.”
Cohen also noted that it takes time to tweak long-running reality shows that need a makeover. “Things take time and we want to take a minute to figure things out,” he said on Sirius XM’s “Reality Checked” with Kiki Monique in June 2024. “There’s no point in rushing into something just to rush into something.”
