The Real Reason 6 ‘Selling the OC’ Cast Members Quit the Show Ahead of Season 4—and Where They Are Now

Selling the OC is finally back on Netflix after more than a year away for more house selling, romantic updates and office feuds. However, if you've just tuned into the new episodes, you may notice that a lot of the cast from the last few seasons are surprisingly missing—and here's why.

This season sees the return of Oppenheim Group owners Jason and Brett Oppenheim, and their Orange County agents Alex Hall (who has a new boyfriend, btw), Polly Brindle, Brandi Marshall, Austin Victoria, Gio Helou, and Tyler Stanaland back on our screens. There's also some new faces, including Fiona Belle, Ashtyn Zerboni, and Kaylee Ricciardi.

However, notably missing from our screens are Alexandra Jarvis, Alexandra Rose, Sean Palmieri, Kayla Cardona, Lauren Shortt, and Ali Harper. So why did these six not return for another series? Here's what you need to know about their exits and what they're up to now.

Okay, so before the release of season 3 (which Jarvis appeared in), Jason confirmed that she had quit the office.

Speaking to People, Jason said, “I don't want to speak for Jarvis, but...she decided to do what's best for her, and I have a lot of respect for that... We're still on good terms.”

Alexandra then went onto explain to the publication why she left, citing “toxic culture” as part of her reason for leaving the office and show.

“There were a lot of factors that went into my decision,” she explained. “I don't really think anyone's surprised by [my departure]. I don't really know what to say about it other than I just know when it's time to leave a party.”

Since leaving the show and The Oppenheim Group, Alexandra has continued to work in real estate, often showing the homes she's listing on her Instagram. She's also started sharing food recipes on her page, too.

Alexandra Rose was the second Alexandra to quit the show ahead of the fourth season. Right now it's not been confirmed why she chose to leave the show but given all her on-screen friends weren't going to be in it, it makes sense as to why she would choose to leave.

Alexandra Rose still appears to be working at The Oppenheim Group, unlike Jarvis, as she's listed as an agent on the website and also lists them on her Instagram.

But the biggest news is Alexandra Rose is pregnant and her baby is due any day now! Alexandra announced the news back in September and shared that Ali Harper had planned the baby shower for her.

Sean was the center of a lot of drama in season 3 when he claimed fellow agent Austin Victoria and his wife Lisa propositioned him for a threesome, which the couple denied. Following this claim there was a lot of fallout throughout the season, and in 2023—before the third season even aired—Sean announced he was leaving The Oppenheim Group and, by extension, the show.

He told People, “After much consideration, I’ve decided to part ways with The Oppenheim Group. I am very excited about this new chapter in my career and eager to embark on a journey that closely aligns with my professional aspirations and personal growth.”

Since then he still appears to be working in real estate, often sharing listings on his Instagram feed, and he's doing a lot of traveling, too.

Kayla was a main character throughout the first three seasons of the show, but she does not be appear in this current season. So far, it's not been confirmed exactly why she left— though she is still working at The Oppenheim Group.

And from the looks of her Instagram, she just seems to be busy working on her social media and selling houses.

Lauren has been on the show since day one, but she never had a prominent storyline, so that could be part of the reason why she left the show.

She now also doesn't work for The Oppenheim Group and appears to have set up her own real estate agency.

Ali Harper joined the show in season 2 and was a breath of fresh air. However, she did not returning for season 4.

Ali actually never had her real estate license while on the show, so that may have been a factor as to why she didn't stay for another season. It also appears she has moved back to her native Nashville and is working on sharing a lot of lifestyle content to her nearly 500,000 Instagram followers.

Selling The OC season 4 is available on Netflix now.
