According to E! News, the show was never formally renewed after Season 9 wrapped in August of 2021. A source told TMZ, the outlet that first broke the news, that the series was coming to an end because it had just run its course. Another insider shared a different explanation for the cancelation to Page Six, which was that Shahs of Sunset had become "too expensive" to produce. The news of the cancelation arrives just over a week after original star Mike Shouhed was arrested in Los Angeles for an "intimate partner violence with injury." He is facing a felony charge of corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant (per Page Six). His lawyer, Alex Kassel, released a statement to E! News about the arrest. "At this time, the only comment I can make with confidence is my client in no way committed any act of domestic violence and the truth will prevail," the attorney stated.Article continues below advertisement A source shared that ' Shahs of Sunset' stars MJ Reza and GG are in talks for other projects with Bravo Though the conclusion of Shahs of Sunset marks the end of an era for many Bravo fans, hope should not be lost entirely. Per TMZ's original report on the cancelation, three of the main stars could return to the network in a different capacity. TMZ reported that GG, MJ, and Reza are "all in early talks for potential future projects with the network." It's unclear at this time if they would be part of another lifestyle reality series together, or if they would participate individually on other upcoming shows for Bravo, Peacock, or E!.

MJ and GG bonded over motherhood in the most recent season as well, though they continued to butt heads. Until these projects are revealed, you can stream the first eight seasons of Shahs of Sunset on Peacock now.
