The Real World

Chicago

The Real World: Chicago is the 11th season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. The Chicago season debuted in 2002, with its cast living in a converted bookstore/coffeehouse in the Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood. This was the first and to date the only season of The Real World to be filmed in the Midwestern United States. This was the first season in which production would start months after wrapping the previous season allowing filming and broadcasting almost immediately unlike the usual annual season.
