MTV's "Real World" Returning to San Francisco for Season 29

MTV has renewed "The Real World" for a 29th season.

The long-running reality series, which debuted back in 1992, will return to the city of San Francisco for the upcoming run, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. The new season will premiere in 2014.

"We're excited about returning to San Francisco, the location of one of our most memorable seasons of The Real World," said executive producer Jonathan Murray.

"The city has always been a great place for young people to explore who they are and what they want to do with their lives."

The third season of "Real World" — which took place in 1994 — was previously set in San Francisco, which included memorable guests like bad boy David "Puck" Rainey and the late Pedro Zamora.

(Zamora died in 1994 at 22 from AIDS)

While "Real World" was first hailed as being a groundbreaking reality series when it first premiered on television, it has since seen its ratings slowly decrease as the years have gone by. The most recent season of "Real World: Portland" ended with 1.05 million viewers in June.

Over the past two decades, MTV has spun off "Real World" into notable spinoffs like "The Challenge", currently airing its Rivals II edition - "The Challenge: Rivals II".

After 29 seasons, is the MTV reality show's age that turned viewers off? Or is it MTV's meddling?
