Things are looking good for women of color when it comes to daytime talk shows. Although things didn’t quite work out the second time for Queen Latifah, “The Wendy Williams Show” and “The Real” are both thriving.
And now it’s been confirmed that “The Real” has been renewed for a second season.
Deadline writes:
Warner Bros has made it official, announcing that The Real will return for a second season. Hosted by Tamera Mowry-Housley, Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Bailon, the panel talk show already had been cleared in two-year deals on the majority of its stations, and it has done well in its freshman run, with the renewal fully expected.
The formal pickup comes as The Real just set a new series high of 1.54 million average viewers and equaled a series-high household rating (1.2) during the most recent week of available national ratings (week of January 26-February 1). The Real ranks as the No. 1 new syndicated talk show of the 2014-15 television season among women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54.
Good for them. Tamar is annoying though.
Yasssss
I’m happy. This show has really grown on me because they talk about real topics I can relate to. I’ll keep supporting.
Nice.
Never watched the show…can’t stand Tamar. But now there’s talk she’s leaving, I just may have to. And Nene and Porsha’s names have been tossed in the hat as her replacement.
Good for them but I just can’t get into that show.
I keep trying to watch but it’s mad corny. But congrats to them tho. Get that paper.
