Watch 'The Real World Atlanta' Trailer Throw Facebook & Politics Into The Reality Show Mix

Between the recent *NSYNC reunion, the upcoming release of Toy Story 4, and the ongoing Spice Girls reunion tour, the ‘90s are back in full force over two decades later, and the revival isn’t slowing down anytime soon. The Real World will soon be back on our screens, taking place in Atlanta and premiering on Facebook Watch on Thursday, June 13, over three years after the previous season of MTV’s iconic reality series. The first trailer for the new season of The Real World Atlanta is here, and it’s about to get very political.

Even though the new series will be a “reimagined” take on the original show, as stated in a press release obtained by Bustle, it will stick to the premise we know and love. Seven strangers are moving into a house together and we get to see what happens when they let their guards down and their true selves come out.

"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," a voice-over promises in the new trailer. "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."

But not only do we see their scandalous adventures, the new trailer puts a heavy focus on the vastly different backgrounds and political views of every houseguest and how they navigate their differences. Every side of the political spectrum is covered this season, with the cast featuring a DACA recipient, a pansexual Black Republican, and a conservative white woman who opposes homosexuality, among others.

In a overtly politicized post-Trump world where many human rights are at stake, this new direction feels very fitting for a show that revolves around social behaviors. Get to know the cast of The Real World: Atlanta below.
