A few months after the first season premiered,
The Real World Homecoming was renewed for two more seasons on September 29, 2021, without specifying which cast would be reunited for the third season. Production reportedly had reached out to the
San Francisco,
Boston,
Seattle, and
Hawaii casts, and could not agree for each of those casts to reunite (the 4th London-set season was ruled out for a reunion due to the cost and logistical issues involved in having Americans leaving the U.S. to film in a foreign country). On March 31, 2022, it was announced that the third season would premiere on
Paramount+ on April 20, 2022. This season addressed recurring themes of the series including intersectionality and race, sexuality, religion, and a revisiting of the "
Don't ask, don't tell" military policy. In May 2022,
The New York Times profiled Danny Roberts as an icon for LGBT millennials. At the conclusion of the series,
Variety called the series "genius reality TV". Paramount+ cancelled the series in 2022 and removed it from all of their streaming platforms; it has not returned to any of them as of 2026. ==Episodes==
