New York, NY — October 2025.
Members of the Owning Manhattan cast—Nile Lundgren, Génesis Suero, Jordan March, and Jade Shenker—joined Netflix’s Squid Game: The Challenge watch party in New York City, mingling with actors, creators, and media executives during one of the streaming giant’s most anticipated fall events.
As Netflix prepares for the Season 2 premiere of Owning Manhattan on December 5, the timing couldn’t be better. The watch party became a stage for the show’s rising stars to reconnect and celebrate how far the series—and its cast—have come since Season 1 captured global attention earlier this summer.
From Real Estate to Reality TV
When Owning Manhattan debuted, it introduced millions of viewers to the high-stakes world of New York City real estate and the agents defining it. Viewers around the world were drawn to the mix of business, drama, and determination—qualities that made Nile Lundgren, Génesis Suero, Jordan March, and Jade Shenker stand out on-screen.
Season 1 followed SERHANT. founder Ryan Serhant and his agents as they navigated luxury listings, competitive markets, and the pressures of performing in one of the most demanding cities on earth. The series quickly became a global hit, trending across Netflix’s Top 10 lists and earning a dedicated fanbase from New York to Dubai.
For the cast, the show offered more than exposure—it spotlighted the evolving face of real estate: agents as entrepreneurs, storytellers, and media personalities building empires through innovation and creativity.
A Night of Strategy and Style
The Squid Game: The Challenge event felt like an extension of that spirit. The competition series, known for its themes of endurance and precision, served as the perfect backdrop for a group of agents whose careers demand the same mix of focus and adaptability.
The cast arrived in sharp, understated looks—Lundgren in classic tailoring, Suero exuding elegance, and March and Shenker balancing edge with refinement. Guests from across entertainment and business joined them for an evening that blurred the lines between culture, competition, and commerce.
Throughout the night, the cast was seen connecting with creatives, producers, and executives from Netflix’s expanding reality roster. For SERHANT. agents, it was more than a party—it was networking at the intersection of media and luxury.
