New Reality TV: The Boyfriend – July 9th

The first reality series premiering in July is The Boyfriend, which will be released starting July 9th on Netflix. The Boyfriend will make history as Japan’s first-ever same-sex dating series.

Big Brother fans will be happy to hear that the newest Reality TV season will be premiering soon on July 17th. Season 26 will certainly be one for the books, as it will feature some crazy twists and turns. Big Brother has been around for some time now, so a new season is always something to celebrate.

Returning: Too Hot To Handle Season 6 – July 19th

Too Hot To Handle is the perfect summer Reality TV show, so fitting that its sixth season will splash onto our screens on July 19th. The concept of Too Hot To Handle is an interesting one, as it focuses on individuals who pursue casual dating relationships in the real world. Once the contestants arrive, they are challenged to connect with one of their fellow cast mates. They must learn to form relationships based on real connections, rather than intimacy.

New Reality TV: Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets – July 23rd

The end of July will also see the start of some fun Reality TV shows, including Surreal Life: Villa of Secrets on July 23rd. Villa of Secrets will feature eight celebrities, including former RHOA star Kim Zolciak. The eight individuals will stay in a luxury villa, where they will get to know one another. This won’t be an easy vacation, however, as the celebs will be forced to deal with secrets from the past.

Last, but certainly not least, we have a newbie to reality TV. Wayne Brady: The Family Remix will make its debut on July 24th, and I’m hyped! Everyone knows the beloved television host Wayne Brady, but this new show will give viewers a closer look at his personal life. In particular, the reality series will document Wayne’s blended family, including his relationship with his kids and ex-wife. Blended families are common, so this on-screen representation is extremely important.
