Next "Real World" Locale Has Been Chosen; Production Started In Cancun

By Stephanie Sims

Cancun, Mexico (CNS) - The location for the 22nd season of MTV's "Real World" was finally chosen. The lucky city that will soon have seven strangers living together running rampant on its streets next season is Cancun, Mexico.

The vacation destination will be home to the housemates. They will also work at StudentCity.com, a popular spring break travel agency/website, as tour guides for visiting college students. "They're going to help give people a safe and fun vacation," co-creator Jonathan Murray told the Hollywood Reporter. "They also might have to bail somebody out of a Mexican jail, stuff like that."Production has already started on the 22nd season, which will air on MTV later this year. The current "Real World" season is set in Brooklyn. "Cancun is a good one to do after Brooklyn, which was a more gritty environment," Murray said.

Since Cancun is a huge party destination and popular spring break getaway spot for young twentysomethings and college kids, it's actually surprising the city wasn't chosen as a locale earlier. It's also a familiar choice because "Real World" producers shot an R-rated unscripted movie there, "The Real Cancun," in 2003, that's unrelated to the series.
