It was one of the first reality television programs and now MTV’s
The Real World is about to get a full reboot.
After debuting in 1992 on MTV, the channel put the show on hold after the 32nd season –
The Real World Seattle: Bad Blood in early 2017.
Now the reality series is about to get a streaming-only reboot, alongside other shows like
Daria,
Made, and
Aeon Flux, according to
Deadline.
The streaming-only reboot of
The Real World will be available on streaming platforms, with MTV promising to take the show back to basics with seven strangers picked to live in a house.
“You have a whole different generation of young people that are growing up that didn’t experience cable the way you and I did,” MTV president Chris McCarthy told
Deadline. “And so we’re able to go and actually retell that story, updated of course…but still stay totally pure to the clean idea of what
Real World was.”
