Sitting on a couch post-workout session in his office on the Sunset Strip, L.A. real estate broker Jason Oppenheim tells The Hollywood Reporter exclusively that his popular Netflix reality show Selling Sunset has been renewed for an eighth season and that production will begin soon on the latest installments of the series.
“For me, each season gets more and more fun,” says Oppenheim, who had originally hoped that the show — a bingeable mix of real estate, oft-combative personal dynamics, over-the-top fashion and L.A. nightlife — would run for at least three seasons. “When we were doing season one, we were like, ‘If we can get to season three, we had a real show. Anything above that would be icing.’ We’ve been running on icing for years now.”

Former Disney chief executive Bob Chapek earned 24 million in fiscal 2022, down sharply from 32 million the year before, the company revealed in its proxy Tuesday.
Chapek, who exited abruptly in November, is entitled to just over 6.5 million in remaining base salary through the scheduled expiration date of his employment agreement, just over 1 million equivalent to a pro-rated target bonus for fiscal 2023, as well as 12.6 million in accerated restricted stock units — for a total exut payout of about 20.4 million.
Current CEO Bob Iger’s total package of 14.9 million compares with 45.8 million the previous year. Iger stepped down as CEO in Feb. of 2020 to become executive chairman.
The situation was a bit confusing, as per the board’s explanation, since it had just renewed Chapek’s contract in June.

Following the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overruled Roe v. Wade by determining that abortion is not a federally protected right under current laws, industry leaders have spoken out against the decision. The latest is the Directors Guild of America, which issued a statement in strong opposition to the ruling.
“Today’s Supreme Court decision is a giant step backwards for our country and puts women’s lives at risk,” said DGA President Lesli Linka Glatter. “It denies countless women the most basic of their human rights — the right to autonomy over their own bodies. We are committed to making sure our members continue to have access and ability to make their own reproductive decisions and determine the path they set for their own lives. We strongly condemn this ruling and stand in solidarity with so many others speaking out to decry this travesty.
