Million Dollar Listing New York
Bravo TV started this extremely successful series back in 2012. First two real estate agents Fredrik Eklund and Ryan Serhant are still with a show today. But other realtor joined and left throughout the years. Since the first season, MDLNY has been frequently surpassing 1 million viewers per episode. It managed to maintain it’s popularity to the end of 2017. But the subsequent season 8 saw some decline in viewership.
Hopefully, the downtrend will be reverted in 2020. But some of it might be the result of way more options on today’s TV screen. Even this show added some spin-offs, namely for housing markets in Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco.
