Trendwatch: Reality Reborn

With the maturation of unscripted television and the entry of new platforms delving into the field, several sub-genres within the space are enjoying a renaissance of sorts, and have been revamped for new generations of viewers. From dating and social experiments to sports docs and paranormal, reality is ripe for reinvention, and audiences are wanting more. Here, we’ll bring together programmers and producers behind some of the hottest series and projects on air now to discuss how they are reframing these tried and true categories, and learn about what other areas of unscripted might be ready for a rebirth.
