On May 7, 2018, E! and WWE announced that Total Divas had been renewed for seasons 8 and 9.
In April 2019, Brie and Nikki Bella announced that they would not be returning for the ninth season of Total Divas, saying that they wanted to focus solely on Total Bellas.[4] In August 2019, it was revealed that Naomi, Natalya, and Nia Jax were set to return for season nine alongside Carmella, who was announced to be returning as a series regular, and new cast members Ronda Rousey and Sonya Deville.[5] Additionally, Brie and Nikki Bella were reported to continue making appearances as guests during the season.[6] The ninth season began on October 1, 2019.
In June 2021, Essentially Sports reported that the E! Network had cancelled Total Divas and its sister show Total Bellas, citing low ratings and a lack of interest from those involved.
