Next month, ViacomCBS will replace CBS All Access with Paramount + to make its own huge streaming success, and part of that effort will include a renaissance for The real world. Several decades after starting a reality TV boom, MTV is bringing original housemates (Becky Blasband, Andre Comeau, Heather B. Gardner, Julie Gentry, Norman Korpi, Eric Nies and Kevin Powell) back to their loft in New York for The Real World Homecoming: New York.
Old episodes of The real world are now available for streaming on All Access / Paramount +, and the new multi-episode series will debut at the launch of the new service on March 4. While CBS All Access relied on a lot of genre programming, reality TV is apparently a differentiator for Paramount + as it tries to compete in a much more crowded arena.
