The Real World: Washington, D.C. is the upcoming twenty-third season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras document their lives and interpersonal relationships.[1][2] Washington, D.C. was officially announced as the location for the newest season on June 10, 2009.[3] Filming began on July 2, and is expected to last until November.[4][5][6] The season premiere is scheduled to air in 2010.[7][8][9]

According to MTV's President of Programming, Tony DiSanto, "The charged atmosphere of Washington D.C., the center of our country's social and political change, will provide an electric setting for this next season of The Real World. We are thrilled to be filming our classic franchise in the heart of where history is being made ... it adds a whole new dimension to the great characters and drama our viewers expect and love from The Real World." Washington, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty welcomed the production, pointing to the impact of young people on the national scene.[1][10]

The residence

The Real World: Washington, D.C. house

The cast is living in a 10,800 ft2 (1,003 m2) house located at 2000 S Street, NW in Dupont Circle, a gay neighborhood known for its historic buildings, dining establishments, and embassies.[11][12][13] The cast members' four-story brownstone mansion was originally constructed in 1891 for a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad executive, James Mosher, and his new wife, Minnie.[14] The building is a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District and its property value is $5,692,000.[15][12]

Four building permits were issued in May 2009, including one for demolition of the interior walls.[12] Building plans show the first floor includes bedrooms, a game room, the Confessional, and a control room for the show's producers.[16] The second floor includes the common area, telephone room, kitchen, bathrooms, and five "love sacks".[17][18] The main control room is located on the home's third floor, while a conference room and offices are located on the fourth floor.[19]

Cast

As with the previous two seasons, the cast will include eight cast members.[1] At least one of the cast members will be a gay man.[12] Local bars expected to be used as frequent hangouts for cast members include Halo, located in nearby Logan Circle; Town Danceboutique, located in Shaw; and The Russia House, located one block west of the cast's house.[12][14][20] The cast will also attend local sporting events, such as D.C. United soccer games at RFK Stadium.[21]
