- - UnReal [Exposing the 'Reality' of Reality TV] [Season 3 Coming Soon] (https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/showthread.php?t=279271)

I'm watching at UK pace - currently just finished episode 7. I'm loving it, and I'm excited to see where it goes from this point. I feel like the characters they've actually developed (Faith, Anna, Grace, Mary, Mia) turned into soap characters and it doesn't feel like a reality TV show set - perhaps they should have kept a fame hungry character like Athena around to keep it feeling like its a reality TV show.

Okay so I'm finished-

Spoiler:

Also, some season 2 details-

Spoiler:

I liked it up until the last few episodes, it just got too soapy in the end and it completely lost it's edge. I probably won't watch Season 2.

They're casting a black bachelor for Season 2:

Ready to start handicapping who’s going to outbitch, outlast and outplay the competition in the upcoming season of UnREAL‘s reality-dating show Everlasting?

You’re in luck, because TVLine has learned exclusively that the Lifetime drama is casting several new regulars for Season 2 — and the series-within-a-series is going somewhere ABC’s The Bachelor fears to tread:

It’s casting an African-American bachelor.

Per the official character description, Darius Hill is in his mid-20s and plays quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. His looks are reminiscent of Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton, and he’s sweet, slightly sheltered, athletic (obviously) and a huge crowd-pleaser with both America and the ladies.

Who’ll vie for Darius’ fame money prestige heart?

* Tiffany: a white, smart, hot, rich, blonde, football-obsessed All-American daughter of an NFL team owner from Texas… who turns out to be sexually closed-off from men. For her look, think: ESPN reporter Samantha Ponder.

* Ruby: an African-American early twentysomething who has a strong athletic build and wears her hair natural. She’s very smart; when the producers ask her to play the season’s Angry Black Woman, she balks. Think: filmmaker/activist Bree Newsome crossed with Daily Show correspondent Jessica Williams.

* Chantal: Also African-American, a Southern debutante who’s a feminine foil for Ruby. In addition, Chantal is an OCD control freak.

* Bethann: Another blonde white girl, this time from Alabama, who’s rather trashy (she shows up to the Everlasting house in a Confederate flag bikini) and who doesn’t see herself as racist… but has never had her beliefs challenged.

* Yael: This “upscale hipster” political blogger will look a lot like series lead Shiri Appleby, earning her the nickname “Hot Rachel.” She’ll drive Rachel nuts simply by being the “hotter, more put-together version of her.” Think: a young Amal Clooney. (Disclaimer: We’re not 100 percent sure Yael is an Everlasting contestant; she may instead be a new behind-the-scenes staffer or something else entirely.)

Meanwhile, UnREAL also is casting Romeo, who’s more strategic and less polished than his quarterback cousin, Darius; and Coleman, a handsome and “whip smart” aspiring documentary filmmaker who’s fun and charming… but also ridiculously entitled. (Bet that’ll sit well with Rach, eh?)

Bethann sounds hilarious!

I doubt they will, but I'd love it if they explored the casting elements of reality tv too and did a bit at the beginning o the first episode showing Rachel and the producers casting the contestants

I agree.

I wonder if any of the cast members from the previous series come back as cast members in this season of Everlasting.

She did a great job in the role tbh, it's just a shame the season went off the rails towards the end and became what it was meant to be satirising.

I think Faith might be making a return in Season 2, the actress who played her kinda hinted that we should "keep an eye out for her this year" but idk if she was talking about Unreal or not.

It was originally rumored she was going to be the suitor wasn't it? Maybe she has a part in it after all.

Faith is getting a web series spin off

Quote:

It seems the producers of UnREAL just gotta have Faith.
The Lifetime series is currently producing a spinoff about Breeda Wool‘s Season 1 character, according to co-creator Sarah Gertrude Shapiro.

“Faith is a character we all fell in love with. She was a closeted Christian lesbian from Mississippi, who’s someone I’m very passionate about,” Shapiro told USA Today. “We pick up with her, and she has a Wrangler-type denim endorsement deal. She and her longtime love, Amy, move to L.A., which is very accepting of their lifestyle.”
The spinoff will take the form of 10 webisodes, slated to debut later this year.
