‘Real World’ returns to Philly
Philadelphia is back in “The Real World.” Producers for the MTV reality show and labor leaders negotiated a deal Tuesday to bring “The Real World” back to the city, one week after Bunim/Murray Productions bolted amid a clash with the city’s powerful unions.
The parties had been negotiating since Friday in Mayor John Street’s City Hall office. Details of the agreement weren’t immediately released.
“The Real World” packed up March 16, three weeks after arriving, amid a dispute over its hiring of nonunion laborers to work on the building where the cast of seven strangers would be thrown together and have their lives videotaped.
