Netflix just announced that the fifth season of the hit real estate reality show Selling Sunset will drop next month, and fans can’t wait for more L.A. drama. “Selling sunset has a new season coming in april!! i’m ready to binge watch it in a day 😭,” one viewer Tweeted.

Here’s everything you need to know about Selling Sunset‘s newest cast member:
Chelsea has a history in selling luxury real estate.
After earning multiple degrees from the University of Birmingham and the University of Dundee in Scotland, Chelsea began a career in the corporate world, per People. In 2017, she got her real estate license and started selling luxury real estate for Rodeo Realty. (FYI, Bravo fans know Rodeo Realty as the company where Josh Flagg worked on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles.)
Later, Chelsea took some time off to raise her kids. But now she’s back and ready to pick up right where she left off.

Chelsea couldn’t wait to be on the show.
Chelsea immediately knew what it would mean to star on Selling Sunset. “I think having the support of my husband and my family really essentially prepared me to take on this big role and this big opportunity,” she shared with People. “But for me personally, I saw this as an opportunity to really open doors in an industry that has lacked diversity and where minorities are underrated.”
“I feel like with great opportunities comes great responsibility,” she added. “This was kind of my time to give back and to educate and really mentor and push forward Black women in this luxury sector in real estate. So just knowing that I’ve got a greater purpose kind of prepared me for this.”

And, she already knew who Jason Oppenheim was before joining the cast.
Apparently, Chelsea had met Jason in the past through her husband. She “was always very familiar with Oppenheim Group,” although she didn’t know any of the ladies.
But, Chelsea says the other agents have “really inspired” her. “It kind of helps me see my future trajectory by being around so many successful women,” she said. “It helps materialize the fact that I can be selling $20 million, $30 million, $40 million homes, seeing other women in close proximity to me doing it.”

In season 5, Chelsea really bonds with some of her co-stars.
Especially Christine Quinn: “I just adore Christine. We have such a great relationship,” she explained to People. But, Chelsea adds that she didn’t get caught up in Christine’s drama with the other women.
“I’m like a lone soldier. I ebb and flow, and I don’t really move at those vibrations,” she said. “I understand they may have had drama, but I am here to form my own unique relationships.”
As for her other co-stars, “Emma and I have a very special connection. I think the world of Chrishell,” Chelsea continued. “To be honest with you, I just have a budding relationship with all the girls. I’m still getting to know some of them, but I didn’t know them before the show.”

Season 5 of Selling Sunset drops on Friday, April 22 on Netflix.
