Facebook Community to Also Select Favorite Past Seasons of the Iconic Reality Show to Air on the Watch Platform Prior to Launch

February 26, 2019 - New York, NY - MTV Studios announced today that the Facebook community will play a key role in casting the three reimagined versions of its groundbreaking, "Real World" series. For each of the iterations taking place in the U.S., Mexico and Thailand, the iconic seventh and final cast members will be picked based on Facebook poll results. "MTV's The Real World," co-produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, launches exclusively on Facebook Watch this spring.

Fans will be empowered through platform tools to shape the action and interact on Facebook Watch.

Each region's "Real World" season will come to life through weekly scene drops, Facebook Stories and full episodes.

· Thailand: Casting poll opens week of March 11th

Prior to the series premiere, fans will also get to re-live some classic, buzzworthy moments and help pick their favorite three full seasons of "The Real World" for release on Facebook Watch. Voting starts March 4th for a three week period. The Facebook community can visit "MTV's The Real World" Facebook page and pick winners from among the following:

· Favorite Season: New York (Season 1), San Francisco (Season 3), or Austin (Season 16)

· Hottest Cast: London (Season 4), Key West (Season 17), or Ex-Plosion (Season 29)

· Most Controversial Season: Los Angeles (Season 2), Las Vegas (Season 12), or Portland (Season 28)

About "The Real World"

Created for MTV by Jonathan Murray and the late Mary-Ellis Bunim of Bunim/Murray Productions, MTV's The Real World was a trailblazing social experiment. It was the first original reality series on TV and the first to tackle never before seen, culturally resonant stories about HIV/AIDS, race, mental health, homophobia, addiction, and more - including the first bisexual man on a TV series, the first televised same-sex commitment ceremony, and its unforgettable portrayal of Pedro Zamora's battle with HIV. Celebrated for its diverse casting and honest portrayal of contemporary young adulthood, The Real World generated conversations that reverberated loudly though media and youth culture. These re-imagined versions will continue to live up to the revolutionary promise of offering "the true story of seven strangers, picked to live in a house, work together and have their lives taped, to find out what happens when people stop being polite... and start getting real."
