New “Selling Charlotte” TV series shows off luxury homes and lifestyle in North Carolina

The new series is not affiliated with other real estate-focused spinoffs like Netflix’s “Selling Sunset.”

Background: The show “American Dream TV” has previously featured 64 other real estate markets and is currently filming its Charlotte series.

• “Selling Charlotte” will feature local real estate agents including Erika Mendoza, Katie Harrison, Alison Alston and Chris Phillis. 

Why it matters: Our city is not camera-shy. Several local places and individuals have been featured in recent TV productions. 

• Netflix show “The Ultimatum” used Charlotte locals to highlight the city’s dating scene while filming at popular locations like Billy Sunday in Optimist Hall.
• Charlotte was also a contender for a spinoff of Netflix’s “Selling Tampa” before the show was denied for another season. 

What to expect: The show will focus on local real estate, neighborhoods and culture.

• Mendoza tells Axios that one of the first episodes highlights the city’s latest sports developments, like Charlotte FC. 
• Another episode features Uptown’s 5th Street District and its evolution over the years, with new restaurant additions that are driving foot traffic.

What’s next: “Selling Charlotte” has already started filming, you might’ve spotted them around Uptown at places like Saku and The Ivey’s Hotel.

• Mendoza says filming around the city has helped a lot of businesses by drawing more customers.

Where to watch: Episodes air once every other month on Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, CBS and Fox.

• The first episode aired in November on CBS and the second episode is expected to air mid-January.
