Realscreen » Archive » MTV Entertainment Studios unveils new unscripted slate across multiple platforms

Paramount’s MTV Entertainment Studios, the film and television production division of MTV Entertainment Group, unveiled a slate of more than 90 greenlights and renewals across its platforms this week.

The series announcements were made for MTV, Comedy Central, VH1, Smithsonian Channel and Paramount+. The new unscripted series cover family dynamics, love and relationships, and social experiments.

The announcement was highlighted by some high-profile franchise extensions. MTV will air Buckhead Shore, produced by 495, which takes the Shore franchise to Buckhead, Georgia, otherwise known as the “Beverly Hills of the South.” The franchise also boasts a second upcoming series for MTV from 495 in Jersey Shore 2.0 (w/t), which follows a new generation of roommates on the Jersey Shore.

MTV will also reboot the Surreal Life franchise, produced by 51 Minds and MTV Entertainment Studios. The former VH1 hit sees eight celebrities take a journey together that forces them to push their public personas aside. The network is also renewing the Teen Mom franchise with Teen Mom: The Next Chapter (w/t), which brings together the casts of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 to check on where they are now. The new Teen Mom series is produced by Eleventh Street and MTV Entertainment Studios.

Comedy Central announced a new take on the iconic stand-up comedy film The Original Kings of Comedy. The New Kings & Queens of Comedy, produced by Propagate and Walter Latham, is an unscripted competition series pitting 10 comedians against each other.

The other new series announced at MTV Entertainment Group’s Upfront include:

Dating at Sea (w/t) — singles from around the world board a cruise looking for love, despite none of the participants speaking the same language.

Power Game (w/t) — a social experiment series in which 13 strangers are given absolute power to control the lives of those around them, while competing for a cash prize.

The new announced series for VH1 include:
