Buying London has been evicted
Netflix won’t be giving the keys back to the reality series Buying London as the best streaming service canceled the show after one season – and I can’t help but feel slightly disappointed.
A Netflix spokeswoman confirmed the cancelation to Deadline in early September and declined to comment further – but I think its dreadful 14% Rotten Tomatoes score is enough of an explanation for why Buying London was axed by the streamer.
The reality show made a brief appearance in the Netflix top 10 for one week, but failed to meet the sheer success of its critically acclaimed American counterpart Selling Sunset. The critics did not sing high praises for the show, with The Guardian writing in their scathing zero star review that it’s « the most hateable TV show ever made » (ouch). Netflix subsequently used the publication’s review to promote the show on X (see the post below), which probably helped it make a home on the streamer’s top 10 list, as well as on my TV screen.
The series is a British alternative to one of my all-time favorite reality shows Selling Sunset (so of course I had to watch it) and is a spin-off of Buying Beverly Hills, which was also canceled by Netflix. The show follows property mogul Daniel Daggers and his agents at DDRE Global as they navigate London’s prestigious property market.
