History
The series was announced on July 15, 2005, as Million Dollar Listing: Hollywood. The title would later change to Million Dollar Listing and premiered on August 29, 2006. The first season encompasses two real estate agencies, one in Hollywood and one in Malibu. Numerous agents were featured during the season (including Madison Hildebrand, who appeared in later seasons). Episodes showcased real estate listings starting from the beginning of the selling process to close. The story lines ranged from a woman who was a hysterical divorcee forced to sell her multimillion-dollar home, to an agent whose personal ties to the seller (her ex-fiance) get in the way of a potential sale.
Season 2 premiered on August 5, 2008, almost two years after the prior season. The format of the program changed, focusing on specific agents as opposed to real estate companies. The season featured three Los Angeles real estate agents, Josh Flagg, Madison Hildebrand and Chad Rogers.
Season 3 of Million Dollar Listing premiered on Bravo on Monday October 12, 2009. It examines the falling real estate market and the three agents' tactics in staying afloat.
The fourth season premiered February 3, 2011, on Bravo with agents Josh Flagg, Madison Hildebrand and a new agent, Josh Altman. Chad Rogers was no longer a part of the cast.
It was announced on August 2, 2011, that Million Dollar Listing was renewed for a fifth season. The show title was officially changed to Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles after the premiere of Million Dollar Listing New York, with the fifth season premiere on June 6, 2012. The series was renewed for its sixth season on April 2, 2013, which premiered on August 7, 2013. Season 6 averaged 1.3 million total viewers, compared to season five which averaged over 1 million total viewers.
Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles was renewed for a seventh season on October 25, 2013. Season 7 premiered on August 20, 2014, with James Harris and David Parnes joining the cast and Hildebrand departing.
In March 2015, Bravo renewed Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles for an eighth season. Season 8 returned September 2, 2015 with all of the cast returning. Former cast mate Madison Hildebrand will be making another guest appearance this season.
