In The Real World’s 21st season, the series is going back to its roots by revisiting New York City (again), this time in Brooklyn. This season, eight strangers, including an Iraq war veteran, former beauty queen, a hip hop dancing hippie, a punk rock Mormon, a dolphin trainer, a computer geek, an abs model and an advocate for victims of abuse will spend a couple of months together getting to know one another and pursuing their goals.

Like last season, this season of The Real World will continue on with the hour long format as opposed to the previous seasons that only aired half-hour episodes.
