MTVâs iconic reality series The Real World is about to make its much-awaited comeback. Seven strangers once again were picked to live in a house to live and work together — and weâll get to watch it all play out on Facebook Watch.
“This is the next true story of seven strangers, picked to live in a house and have their hookups, screw-ups, apologies, honesty, voices, opinions, fights, tears, lives streamed exclusively on Facebook Watch,” the trailer, which was released earlier this week, explains.
Viewers will have the opportunity to comment on what’s happening as it airs.
“With new episodes every week and content dropping daily, find out what happens when the next generation stops being polite. It’s time to get real. Again,” the trailer promises.
We were also introduced to the new âseven strangersâ who will be shacking up in Atlanta for the new season. Itâs quite the unique cast, with a virgin, an African-American Trump supporter, and members of the LGBT community.
We first meet 21-year-old Arely Avitua who is a âDreamer.â She gave birth to her now four-year-old son when she was just a teenager.
âI didnât even know I was undocumented in the United States until I was like 16,â she says in the trailer.
She says she hopes going on âThe Real Worldâ will be life-changing.
âIâm still trying to find myself,â she says. âBecause Iâve always been âIâm just a mom,â going to school, âIâm just a student.â I feel like I havenât really gotten to experience a lot of the things that most people have, and I feel like I really havenât been able to kind of find out who I am.â
Clint Wright, 28, is from a small town in Michigan. Heâs expected to take over his familyâs farm business, though heâs currently an aspiring influencer. (Fun fact: Clint earned a spot on the show after he was chosen by fans on the showâs Facebook page from a group of three possible contestants.)
In a Facebook video, Clint says he was kicked out of high school and spent his 21st birthday in jail.
âBut I cleaned it up,â he says. âIâm sick of being on probation and not living my life.â
Dondre Randolph is a 25-year-old project manager from Houston who is coming out.
âI like having sex with men and womenâŠmen more,â he says in the trailer. âI never really officially came out to anybody except, like, my mom.â
He is also a Republican.
âIâm a black conservative,â he says in the trailer. âI like Donald Trump. I honestly do. I like some of his policies he has in place. The wall? I say build the wall!â
We also meet Meagan Melancon, who is a 23-year-old Catholic virgin who hails from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
âI donât agree with homosexuality,â she says in the trailer. âThis is not my cup of tea.â
In the trailer, Meagan reveals sheâs a sports reporter who didnât get her first kiss until college. She also states that she went to private Catholic school and is very devoted to her religion.
âYouâre missing out if you donât know Jesus,â she says.
We will also meet Justin Blu, who hails from Atlanta and is described as an âadvocate for the African American community.â
âCulturally Iâd say I gravitate to black people the most,â he says in the trailer. âIâm for the progress and liberation of my people. Iâm not against interracial marriages, though I donât think itâs best for black communities.â
There is also 26-year-old Tovah Marx. The Scottsdale, Arizona, native reveals in the trailer that sheâs a social worker and that sheâs âweird.â
She also reveals that, in her past, she dealt with a verbally and emotionally abusive boyfriend.
Rounding out the roommates is 27-year-old Yasmin Almokhamad, a New York City feminist who describes herself as a âteacher, model and artist.â In a video posted to the âReal Worldâ Facebook page, Yasmin said that sheâs often naked and âtalks about sex a lot.â
(She should fit right in!)
âI was raised Christian but culturally Muslim,â she says in the trailer. âAnd then Iâm queer. Iâm really proud of the person that I am. Iâm here to grow.â
Fans are already getting excited on Twitter, with one user stating, âLooks more promising than the last two seasons on TV. This will be LIT!â
Another chimed in with, âYes! So many different opinions/perspectives…Iâm so interested.â
A third agreed, adding that they are thrilled to finally have the show go back to its roots.
âExcited to check it out! No more gimmick. Just some strangers living in a house. Love it!â
âThe Real Worldâ first graced the small screen in 1992 in New York and from there they shot seasons in cities like Las Vegas, San Diego and Philadelphia.
The previous season of âThe Real Worldâ was shot in Seattle and aired in 2017. After that season (which was called âBad Bloodâ) MTV stayed mum as to whether or not it would continue with the series. In October 2018, it was announced that the show would be moved to Facebook Watch.
âThe Real Worldâ Season 33 premieres Thursday, June 13 on Facebook Watch.

This is great! I agree about the RW getting back to its roots. Excited to see some of the conversations that happen during this season. The most awesome part is that I have something in common with each of these people but not enough to identify with one in particular.
So it wonât air on MTV?
Real World has really been going on for 33 seasons?! Oy vey..
I canât wait! I love trash tv
