LOS ANGELES:
Variety
MTV’s “The Real World” pioneered reality TV and now the Viacomowned channel is delving into “The Royal World,” an unscripted series that will play globally and promises to show the exclusive, unfiltered lives of young royals and aristocrats.
The series comes from MTV International, which will show it later in 2018 in 180 countries. The US broadcaster has not been confirmed. Initial, which is part of Endemol Shine and makes “Big Brother” in the UK, will produce “The Royal World.” The producers said the show will step inside the cast’s lavish family homes, and have access to their elite circles.
The “Made in Chelsea” scripted reality series in the UK follows well-to-do young socialites in upmarket west London. Fox’s “I Wanna Marry Harry,” meanwhile, was a reality dating show in which a fake Prince Harry set out to convince his dates he was the real thing.
MTV said ladies, baronesses and counts will collide in its new reality show. It will unveil the cast soon, and the lineup will include descendants of aristocratic families from the UK, Russia, Austria, Nigeria, and Ireland, as well as a “royally connected American.” (RTRS)
