Ryan Serhant, the Realtor and star of Netflix’s “Owning Manhattan,” is now expanding into creating original scripted short-form programming with a new series called “The Broker.Age.”
The 10-part series is a comedy set in the world of real estate.
“The Broker.Age” will follow a group of young adults just starting out in real estate. They hire Carl Highmen (get it?), the original power broker in New York from the landline era, who loses everything in a divorce and is forced out of retirement to make ends meet by joining the Gen Z real estate team.
Alex Shafer plays Carl. Joining him are Samantha Nugent as Miranduh, Daxx Wieser as JoJo and Sajda Waite as Cynthia.
In a statement, Serhant said, “We have built the largest content-to-commerce ecosystem in real estate, and we are now expanding into original scripted programming: short-form, vertical, shareable, and built for the way audiences actually watch today. The new series is called ‘The Broker.Age’ and it is a comedy series in the world of real estate, with sharp, character-driven episodes, and it’s made for today’s platforms. It’s ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ meets…TikTok.” He added, “So much real estate content is about the success and the shine (and we are responsible for that too), we wanted to make something about the work, the process and the grind – and make it funny and entertaining and to capture the attention of so many young people starting in their professions right now.”
Ryan Serhant and Serhant Studios will produce all 10 episodes, and the series will stream on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook.
Last year, Serhant spoke with Variety about his business and shared the motto that drives him to success: “Expansion, always in all the ways.”
In addition to executive producing “Owning Manhattan” and now “The Broker.Age,” Serhant announced he was expanding his realty business to California. The realtor has begun operations throughout California with a group of agents across Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Malibu, Orange County, San Diego, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Marin County and Tahoe.
Could “Owning California” be in the works as a spin-off for the realtor?
