Sofía Vergara’s sister, Sandra Vergara, is slated to make her debut on Selling Sunset. Netflix recently introduced the actor-turned-realtor in a press release, announcing that Sandra will be joining the Los Angeles-based cast of Selling Sunset for season 9, alongside three other new faces.
“Oh and if that last name rings a bell: Yes, she’s the cousin and adoptive sister of fellow actor Sofia Vergara,” Netflix added.
Sandra also hinted at the news in an Instagram Stories post after the announcement, simply writing, “I guess the cat’s out of the bag.” In the press release, Sandra shared her anticipation for her upcoming debut, stating, “The O Group felt like the perfect fit: sharp, high energy, and full of people who are at the top of their game.” She further added, “Season 9 definitely brings some unexpected twists. There are some jaw-dropping moments you won’t see coming.”
Sandra commenced her career on E! alongside RuPaul and has appeared in various TV shows, including CSI, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Nip/Tuck. Speaking with Netflix, Sandra expressed her hope to join the O Group with “an instinct for value and ability to navigate high-stakes environments.” She elaborated, “I’ve always had an eye for design and a love for people, so combining that in real estate just clicked. I’d seen [Selling Sunset] and always thought the women were incredibly dynamic. But being on the inside now, it’s a whole different level of excitement.”
While Netflix has yet to officially announce a release date for season 9, cast member Amanza Smith first confirmed the series’ return in November 2024. The O Group boss, Jason Oppenheim, previously disclosed to Business Insider that they had to temporarily halt filming in January 2025 due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
The ninth season of the reality series will also feature the return of familiar faces such as Chrishell Stause, Chelsea Lazkani, Emma Hernan, Nicole Young, Alanna Gold, Mary Fitzgerald, Amanza Smith, Bre Tiesi, and Jason and Brett Oppenheim.
