Funda Onal left the series after 6 episodes following the breakdown of her relationship with Spencer Matthews, and Agne left during the final episode of the series after resigning from being Francis' intern. She does not return.

The second season featured a few changes in the cast. Louise returned to the show as a more permanent cast member. Though she had other commitments in Edinburgh which had caused her to be absent from some episodes. Chloe Green,[1] Jamie Laing and Victoria Baker-Harber[2] [3] also made their debut during the first episode. Alice Davidson, a cousin of Caggie Dunlop, joined the show during the seventh episode and had a brief romance with cast member Proudlock. However she quit after the Christmas special airing after the second series. Chloe also decided to quit the show following her split with Ollie and did not return for the third series.

The third season began in early 2012 and featured new arrivals to the cast including Richard Dinan, Kimberley Garner and Natalie Joel.

Season 6 saw the introduction of Sam Thompson, Sophie Hermann[9] and Stephanie Pratt[10] who all had connections with already established cast members with Sam being Louise's brother, Sophie being Victoria's friend and Stephanie being Spencer's then-girlfriend. Olivia departed the series after only appearing in the first episode, whilst the final episode of the series seen the departures of Phoebe, and original cast member Francis Boulle.

The seventh season in 2014 saw no new cast members arrive until the fourth episode where Sam Thompson's ex-girlfriend Riley Uggla was introduced as well as her friend Aurelie Mason-Perez. Stephanie also returned during this episode after only appearing in the previous series as a guest. Ed "Fordy" Ford made his debut during the sixth episode and later went on to date Louise Thompson, and Georgia "Toff" Toffolo arrived during the seventh episode. This was the only series to feature Aurelie and Fordy after they decided not to return.

The group took to New York City for a spin-off series, which saw the introduction of Alik Alfus and Billie Carroll during the first episode, and Jules Hamilton in the second.[11] Cheska decided to return to London during the second episode. This was later confirmed as her final episode as she did not return for the eighth season.[12] Gabriella Ellis also made a very brief one-off return during the third episode for Binky's birthday party with drinks all the way.[13] The series featured all of the Chelsea cast, however, there were notable absences from Andy, Sophie and Toff, who returned during the eighth series.[14] Whilst Alik remained returned following the NYC special.

Despite no official word of their departures from the show, Will and George did not return for the ninth series.

Ahead of the ninth season in 2015, it was confirmed that five new cast members had been added to the show. These included Emily Weller, Jess Woodley, Millie Wilkinson, Fleur Irving and Josh "JP" Patterson, who are all already friends of already established cast members.[17] This is also the first series to include Nicola Hughes, who joined the series as the girlfriend of Alex,[18] [19] as well as new cast members James Dunmore and Elliot Cross.[20] The ninth series was the last to include long-serving cast member Andy Jordan, who left to pursue a music career. Stevie Johnson, who appeared alongside Jordan from Series 4, announced his departure in August 2015.

Made In Chelsea LA, premiered in the summer of 2015. Which saw the gang head to LA with the usual drama. The third spin-off saw the returns of Gabriella Ellis and Ollie Locke. As well as newcomers to the season. This was Ellis' last appearance in the show and in 2022, now rebranded to London Ellis, said she regretted returning to the show. Ollie Locke returned as a main cast member up until Season 13 (2017).

Season 10 saw another long-serving cast member leave the show, Spencer Matthews left the show on 16 November 2015.[21]

Season 11 was the last to feature cast members Lucy Watson and James Dunmore. The series also had the first appearance of Frankie Gaff, Olivia Bentley and other cast members. Throughout the season, viewers saw Jamie Laing and Frankie Gaff enter a relationship in late season 11. At the end of the season, after Pratt's and Watson's dramatic argument, Lucy Watson chose to leave the show as she expressed that the argument wasn't portrayed in the way it went down off-screen. [22] Thus she didn't want the show to get in the way of her relationship with James.

The third spin-off, Made in Chelsea: South of France, premiered in the summer of 2016. Just months after Lucy's exit. The 6-Episode Mini-Show set in the hot but yet cold as ever beaches of France welcomes the long-awaited return of Francis Boulle. Along with a shock return of Louise's former boyfriend, Alik Alfus. Who was going to propose to her before finding a new boyfriend, Ryan Libbey. This was a one-off for Alik as he doesn't return for a while. Whereas Francis has come back for good. We also see new recruits such as Matt Draper. Who goes on to date Jess Woodley.

Season 12 saw the continuation of Jamie and Frankie's toxic relationship. While Jess Woodley is furious of Toff hanging out with Tiffany after her backstabbing. She does not appear further and her last appearance is in the season party, after the final.[23]

The thirteenth season is the last to feature over 100-Episodes homecomer Rosie Fortescue, the last appearance of Cheska Hull and Binky, Josh, Ollie Locke and Stephanie Pratt. Rosie only appears briefly in the only 4 episodes she is in for her final season. Her last being a meet up with Sam Thompson about his relationship with Tiff Watson. There are new recruits too. The main permanent recruit being Mimi Bouchard. At Binky's baby shower, Cheska Hull makes her return and reunites with her and best friend Ollie Locke. They all leave the series together. Though Binky makes a brief appearance in Ibiza. Binky's boyfriend JP along with Ollie's best friend Steph Pratt also leave. Due to this, the show plummeted down in ratings for its 14th season until drama boosts it back up...

In the fourth spin-off in Ibiza, Jamie & Frankie finally break up after a toxic relationship since Season 11. There is also a huge discovery awaiting for Tiff from Sam. In which he cheated on her with Mimi. This drove to her exit in early Season 14. This is the final season we ever see JP. And the last we see Binky and Ollie for a long time. The series ended in a happy party banger. But with some tragic ends to relationships. Champagne to that!

Season 14 was the last to feature Tiffany Watson. It was also the first to feature new members Sophie "Habbs" Habboo, James Taylor, Digby Eldgey and the return of Alik Alfus in the later episodes when he moves back to London. Mimi has drama throughout the series. At the start being with Tiff over Ibiza. And her then-boyfriend Charlie Mills. Who she later said they weren't meant to be. Which Charlie in response didn't take it well and almost threw a drink in her face. It is the last we see of him. At the end of the series, Alik and Louise come to terms after his rivalry with Ryan. People started questioning Liv Bentley and Digby's relationship when it became unhealthy for the pair of them criticizing each other. Even Olivia's friends stepped in. Including Frankie. But Digby convinced Liv that she was trying to "sabotage" them in a turn around to put the blame on someone else. This caused a fall out between Liv and Frankie.

Season 15 is a milestone for Made in Chelsea. The season saw newbies Miles Nazire and Ell introduced to the show. As well as Harry Barron's girlfriend Melissa Tattam.Shockingly, it was the last season to feature Georgia "Toff" Toffolo. Along with Francis Boulle for the last time, Alik and even Frankie herself. Frankie leaves in Episode 4 after a huge row with Liv and Digby at Mimi's fancy dress-up party. She bumps into Jamie after leaving the room filled with intoxicated drama and tells him she can't be in a room with negativity like that. Frankie said her final goodbye to Jamie. [24] Later on, Melissa and Harry's relationship is involved with Liv and Digby's. And the couple's start blaming each other for their mess and problems. Towards the final, Alik and Ryan finally make amends mainly for Louise. After a guest appearance from Alik's father Mitch. Jamie meets Ell. And they get on and start dating each other. Despite Miles' interest. Though it turns out Miles and Ell are just French friends. The gang celebrate the year with a party.

Croatia aired again in the summer of 2018. Liv and Melissa sort their drama out as Liv breaks down. Thankfully, the two recover and put the water under the bridge. This is the last time we see Sam-Prince after Miles finds out he slept with Tabitha, who played both of them. Sam doesn't believe Miles and leaves later on. During the trip, Sam Thompson and Habbs go on a rollercoaster of fancying each other to cheating on each other. This unfortunately does not end here as the drama is brought back to London...

The sixteenth season had no permanent cast changes. However, this was the last season to feature Louise Thompson and fiancé Ryan Libbey. As well as Mimi Bouchard, who only appeared for a cameo. The season saw more drama from Habbs and Sam Thompson as at the final chapter Habbs ended things with him. They both make amends in the Christmas Special. The season also features multiple but brief returns. Such as Fran Newman, Millie Wilkinson and Binky Felstead. Binky however appears for majority of Episode 3 as she returns celebrate Louise and Ryan's engagement party.

The seventeenth season sees newcomers Rosi Mai, Freddie, Angus, Amelia and Verity run into the Chelsea world. Along with the first appearance of Miles' ex, Maeva D'Ascanio. We see their relationship go into all sorts of things during the season. It even gets personal when others get involved and arguments unfold with Rosi Mai and Maeva. We see other problems involving a stint love triangle with James Taylor, Verity and Eliza.

Series 18 sees Sam Thompson return as he finds out about Jamie and Habbs' relationship. Maeva and James become officially exclusive. It's the last series to feature Eliza.

Buenos Aires sees the gang head to the tropical city to explore more friendships and drama. We see Jamie and Habbs' relationship stumble up and down, as Louise Thompson returns along with Ryan Libbey to help Sam over his girlfriend Zara McDermott.

The 19th season has the ultimate return of Ollie Locke and Binky Felstead. Along with Binky's mum Jane and Ollie's husband Gareth. There is drama between Liv and Melissa after Liv accuses her of trying to mess in other people's relationships. Louise returns for the final time in scenes with her brother Sam Thompson and the return of Tiff Watson. There is some juicy drama between Tiff and Zara throughout her return.

In the twentieth season, Sam and Zara clash after Zara reveals a secret. They end up getting back together by the end of the series. It is the last season to ever feature Zara McDermott, Harry Barron, Rosi-Mai and Binky Felstead. Midway through the series, there is tension between Verity and Tristan. Who broke up during the pandemic. They argue about seeing other people as the returns of Maeva D'Ascanio and James Taylor causes a stir as Maeva sticks her nose in other people's business as Verity wines on. In the final episode, it is Ollie Locke and Gareth Locke's wedding, Binky returns for her final ever appearance to be there with her best friend, Ollie. The gang cheers to 2020 with a conclusion.
