MTV’s "The Real World" Grows Up and Moves to Brooklyn
It was announced today that season 21 of MTV’s “reality” hit show The Real World is coming back to New York for the third time in the shows 21-year history and will set up shop in Brooklyn.
MTV has yet to announce which neighborhood will host the newest Brooklyn residents, but rumors are swirling that it may just be the hip hangout of Williamsburg. The inaugural 1992 season featured the cast living in a Soho loft, long before Soho had was full of trendy stores, and 2001 season of The Real World: Back to New York was filmed in Greenwich Village.
The newest season will begin filming this summer and will be shown on MTV in early 2009.

Get out of here, Heather! Brooklyn?!
Bump hip Williamsburg. Buy lots of insurance and set ‘em up in East New York — that’ll keep those kids, er, young adults in line, and I bet they’d like that location more in the long run, too. Keepin’ it real and all, ya know? :-D
(And, yes, I spent the better part of my youth in East New York, which is why I’m the strong person I am today. Wouldn’t change it for the world.)

I didn’t even know the show had been on for 21 years! I do recall having to sit through many episodes with my step-daughter when it was set in in Hawaii though….and when she came to visit we had to go to all the spots where they went. Oh, what fun!

–Chandra– Too funny! They would definitely need extra insurance if they were in East New York… those folks don’t have the patience for the “Hollywood” types. Or, they could live in Queens and drag their clothing to the laundromat in the granny-cart and order their Chinese food through bullet-proof glass. That, after all, was my “real world” when I was 22 years old!
–Shane– It has become quite a pop culture phenomenon with kids. I am also surprised that the show has been on for 21 seasons. I remember religiously watching the first season in New York. That was when Soho was a “gritty, fringe” neighborhood. Wow, how times have changed!
