At its latest Get Real event, the streamer rolled out a stacked lineup of new series, returning hits, and franchise expansions—leaning heavily into personality-driven storytelling and buzzy competition formats. From Dancing with the Stars growing into a multi-show universe to fresh Kardashian content and high-stakes new concepts, here’s everything announced.
The ‘DWTS’ Universe Gets Bigger Than Ever
One of the biggest headlines from the event was the continued growth of the Dancing with the Stars franchise. The upcoming season is already building anticipation with its first confirmed contestants: Summer House star Ciara Miller and Love Island breakout Maura Higgins.
Hulu is also expanding the brand with Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro, a new competition series premiering July 13 and hosted by Robert Irwin. The show will follow aspiring dancers competing for a coveted spot as a pro on the flagship series, marking a major step toward turning DWTS into a full-fledged franchise ecosystem.
Project Runway Returns
Fashion fans have something to look forward to as Project Runway officially returns with a new season premiering July 9. The long-running design competition continues its resurgence on streaming, blending its legacy appeal with a new generation of designers and viewers.
The revival signals Hulu’s continued investment in recognizable, culture-shaping reality formats that already have a built-in fanbase.

Hulu is bringing Stassi Schroeder back into the spotlight with House of Stassi, set to premiere July 29. The new series will follow the former Vanderpump Rules star as she navigates life in a new chapter, offering a more personal and evolved look at her world.
With a loyal fanbase already in place, the show is poised to be a major draw for viewers who have followed her journey from the beginning.
‘The Mob’ Brings High-Stakes Competition
One of the most intriguing new announcements is The Mob, a reality competition series hosted by Parker Posey. Set in an upscale Italian villa, the show will feature a mix of reality TV personalities—including Harry Jowsey, Maria Georgas, and Demi Engemann—competing for a $250,000 prize.
Built around strategy, alliances, and shifting power dynamics, The Mob aims to deliver the kind of drama and gameplay that fans of social competition series crave.
Khloé Kardashian’s New Series ‘The Girls’

Casting has already been revealed, signaling another headline-making season is on the way.
Sports, Talk, and Specials
Hulu is also adding a range of unscripted specials and companion content to its lineup. A new special tied to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show from Miami Swim Week is on the way, bringing fashion and behind-the-scenes access to the platform.
Additionally, Hulu will launch a weekly Get Real talk show hosted by Amanda Hirsch, featuring conversations with some of reality TV’s biggest stars. The Vanderpump Villa reunion is also set to premiere April 30, giving fans more insight into the hit series.

The Bigger Picture
Hulu’s Get Real event made one thing clear: reality TV is no longer just part of the strategy—it’s the strategy. By expanding existing franchises, reviving iconic formats, and investing in personality-driven storytelling, Hulu is positioning itself as a major force in the unscripted space.
With a lineup this stacked, the future of reality TV on Hulu looks bigger—and more interconnected—than ever.
