‘Million Dollar Listing: New York’ alum Ryan Serhant to star in new Netflix show ‘Owning Manhattan’: ‘I’m excited — and terrified’
He’s closing the deal.
Superstar broker Ryan Serhant, formerly of “Million Dollar Listing: New York,” will lead Netflix’s first-ever New York-based real estate series, “Owning Manhattan,” The Post can exclusively reveal.
“The show completely redefines the genre for real estate TV. If you like ‘Selling Sunset,’ ‘Succession’ and ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ you will like this show,” Serhant, who is also a producer, told The Post in a statement. “We spent two years making it, capturing all the ups and downs of a growing company, and filming in some of the most jaw-dropping real estate in the world. I’m excited — and terrified — to finally release this show to such a big, global audience with Netflix.”
Per the show’s synopsis, “In this new Netflix reality series, ‘Owning Manhattan’ gives a look inside the glamorous, adrenaline-filled universe of high-stakes real estate in New York City.”
“World famous broker and CEO Ryan Serhant will stop at nothing as he builds his brokerage and goes after the most exclusive luxury listings in the city. And he’s not alone: He’s leading an ambitious army of agents on a mission to become the No. 1 brokerage in the world.”
“Owning Manhattan” will consist of eight episodes and be produced by World of Wonder. It’s executive-produced by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, Bianca Barnes-Williams and Kelly Montalvo.
Serhant, 39, exited “Million Dollar Listing” in 2022. The Emmy-nominated Bravo show launched Serhant into the spotlight when it premiered in 2012, and the series went on pause when he left.
Serhant married lawyer Emilia Bechrakis in 2016, and their nuptials were shown in a miniseries, “Million Dollar Listing New York: Ryan’s Wedding,” that same year.
They have one daughter, 5-year-old Zena, and they also renovated a $7.8 million townhouse in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn — which was chronicled on-screen in the 2021 miniseries “Million Dollar Listing: Ryan’s Renovation.”
In 2020, he founded Serhant, a real estate brand operating around the world, with 600 agents.
“Owning Manhattan” will launch Friday, June 28, on Netflix.
