What is ‘UnREAL’ about?
Don’t let Lifetime’s reputation of sappy romcoms and cheesy biopics turn you away. UnREAL tackles the dirty, seedy underbelly of the dating show reality world. Producer Rachel Goldberg (Shiri Appleby) returns to work on the mock-Bachelor series Everlasting after a less than ideal exit the season before. As one of the ring leaders behind the scenes, Rachel’s job is simple: Make great television. However, in order to do that she must check her soul at the door.
Executive producer Quinn King (Constance Zimmer) is the tough-as-nails woman in charge of making sure that the ladies are manipulated enough to get the series ratings. Nothing, it seems, is off limits when it comes to making great TV.
Combine these two women with the entire behind-the-scenes production crew, the bachelorettes, and the charming British bachelor Adam Cromwell, and it is no wonder that Lifetime picked up this massive hit for another season.
Be sure to check out the series from episode 1 available to stream now on Lifetime’s website.
UnReal airs Mondays at 10:00 p.m. ET on Lifetime. Catch season 1, episode 6, “Fly,” tonight!
