Shahs of Sunset delivered much reality TV goodness throughout its nine seasons on Bravo from 2012 to 2021.
There were many unhappy fans when news broke of its cancellation or pause, as Bravo likes to state, in 2021.
Despite some considerable casting shakeups in its final years, the remaining original cast members still knew how to put on a show.
Reza Farahan, Golnesa Gharachedaghi, Mercedes Javid, and Mike Shouhed were with the show for its entire nine-season run, and while we lost some faces along the way, the quartet served as constants throughout the show.
Bravo has a long history of putting shows on hiatus, most of them never to return, with The Real Housewives of Miami being one of few shows to return and be a success story.

BravoCon 2023 brought the drama during the gathering of reality TV’s biggest stars, held at the Caesars Forum in Las Vegas Nov. 3-5. “Vanderpump Rules” star Tom Sandoval, who was booed consistently every time he answered a question at the fan event, got into a push-up battle with co-star James Kennedy. The “Scandoval” participant was part of the “Vanderpump Rules” panel at BravoCon, which kicked off its first day programming on Friday.
