Things are about to get real...again. The original Season 1 cast of MTV's The Real World is returning for a new series debuting on Paramount+ on March 4, The Real World Homecoming: New York.

STREAM: All 32 Seasons Of MTV's The Real World

The first episode of the new series will be available to stream on March 4, coinciding with the launch of Paramount+.

In the multi-episode docuseries, the original seven strangers from Season 1 of The Real World will revisit the shocking moments and explosive issues that transpired during the historic season and discuss how they parallel today’s social climate. After spending decades apart, viewers will reconvene with New York housemates Becky Blasband, Andre Comeau, Heather B. Gardner, Julie Gentry, Norman Korpi, Eric Nies, and Kevin Powell to find out how the series transformed their lives since the cameras stopped rolling and to find out, once again, what happens when they stop being polite… and start getting real.

Premiering for the first time in 1992, The Real World was the first reality series on television and helped shape a generation. It sought to spotlight culturally resonant stories such as HIV/AIDS, race, sexual orientation, mental health, and addiction like never before—including one of the first LGBTQ+ relationships documented on a TV series, the first televised same-sex commitment ceremony, and the show's unforgettable portrayal of Pedro Zamora’s battle with HIV.

Celebrated for its diverse casting and honest portrayal of contemporary young adulthood, The Real World illustrated a simple yet powerful idea of connecting people from widely divergent backgrounds to find common ground on the issues that divided them and generated conversations that reverberated loudly through media and youth culture.
