Fans have been clamoring for season two of Bling Empire ever since the show dropped in January 2021, and a recent post from star Kane Lim has ignited hopes of a crossover event. A second season of the Netflix reality series has been announced and teased with a trailer, but no premiere date or further details have been given. Viewers instead have to settle for keeping up with their favorite cast members on social media. A recent Instagram post by Kane Lim now has fans clamoring for a crossover show between Bling Empire and Selling Sunset.
For viewers who love to vicariously live through the riches of others, Netflix is the place to be. From the start, Bling Empire was promoted as a mix of Crazy Rich Asians and Selling Sunset. Netflix has leaned into the connection, teasing season 2 of Bling Empire in the same trailer for the next season of Selling Sunset. Both casts are also set to compete in a celebrity edition of Family Feud.
On April 11, Bling Empire’s Kane Lim posted a selfie with Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause and fans were quick to jump on it, begging for a crossover in the comments. Many people said these were their favorite stars from the two shows. San Pellegrino was quick to catch that Kane was holding one of their products, offering to send him more in the comments. One poster suggested the cast of Bling Empire should use the real estate services of the Selling Sunset cast.
While some viewers think they are fighting for what they want, no one seems to be pushing the crossover more than Netflix itself. They promote the shows together. Even Kane Lim’s Instagram post calls Bling Empire and Selling Sunset a “power couple." While he added the hashtag "#ThisIsNotSponsored," he also used the Netflix hashtag, as well as one for Dior (since he happens to be wearing a Dior sweatshirt). Even if hanging out with Chrishell was not a planned event and the post wasn’t sponsored or suggested by producers, Netflix still seems every bit as interested in bringing these two shows together as fans are.
Viewers aren’t going to be satisfied until they get to see the rich stars of these popular series flaunt their wealth on the same show. While not everything on Bling Empire is as real as producers try to make the audience believe, viewers still can’t get enough of the manufactured drama. With two shows on the same streaming service of people flaunting their riches and trying to be top of the social ladder, it’s only natural that Bling Empire and Selling Sunset will crossover at some point. Like season two of Bling Empire, there’s just no set date…yet.
