Real World Comes to New Orleans, LA

MTV has confirmed that the "reality" television show, The Real World, is returning to New Orleans.

According to a Thursday news release, production will begin shortly with a 12-episode season scheduled to air in summer. The season will have a recovery theme.

“We are delighted to be returning to New Orleans for the 24th season of ‘The Real World,’” said creator and executive producer Jon Murray in the release. “Hurricane Katrina threw New Orleans for a punch, but the city is coming back and we’re hoping our cast members and the series can play a small role in the city’s rebirth.”

"We expect the roommates to participate in some kind of recovery effort,"Jim Johnston said (producer for Bunim/Murray). "In returning to New Orleans we hope to see where the city has come since Katrina, and how much further it has to go."

We cannot wait to see what New Orleans has in store for this cast! We look forward to any positive rebirth work and media attention MTV and its Real World cast will bring to NOLA.
