House of Stassi, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, The Girls, oh my! Hulu Gets Real just confirmed that it’s never been a better time to be a fan of reality television.
On Wednesday, Hulu hosted its now-annual Get Real event in Los Angeles, where they brought out stars from some of the already-biggest reality television shows across Freeform, ABC, and Hulu to share updates and announce some new projects, many of which feature familiar faces.
Included in this year’s lot are shows centered around the best friends of Khloé Kardashian, a Secret Lives of Mormon Wives spinoff featuring influencers and the sister of one of the OG castmates, and a reality show for one of the most notable alumni of Sur, who fans have been begging to see get her own show for years. Yeah, Disney and Hulu did that for us.
Here’s a quick roundup of everything ABC, Disney, Freeform, and Hulu announced and confirmed during their Hulu Gets Real event on Wednesday…
House of Stassi Reality Series Set For Freeform In July
Sur alum, Vanderpump Rules villain, and Vanderpump Villa host Stassi Schroeder is finally getting what fans have been requesting for years: her own TV series. On Wednesday, Stassi took the stage at Hulu Gets Real to share that if fans have watched Vanderpump Villa Season 3, they know that her sister have moved in with her. Now, her show, House of Stassi, is going to explore the craziness of being a wife, mom, sister, and TV personality, all while juggling being social media famous, as well.
House of Stassi will premiere on Freeform July 29 and air the next day on Hulu.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County Spinoff Officially Announced
After months of speculation and rumors surrounding another Mormon Wives series, Hulu officially confirmed on Wednesday that they would be following a new cast of women around Orange County, California, and seeing what happens behind closed doors. Intrigue immediately set in as the cast features new faces and internet-famous names alike, including Bobbi Althoff, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, and Mayci Neeley‘s sister, McCall DaPron. The entire cast took the stage on Wednesday to express their excitement, although notably absent was Jen Affleck, who was rumored to be leading the spinoff. Affleck also missed out on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives presentation alongside Mayci, Jessi Draper, Layla Taylor, and Miranda Hope. No official date yet for the Mormon Wives: OC spinoff just yet.

Khloe Kardashian Producing a Reality Series, The Girls, About Her OG Besties
If you’ve ever watched The Kardashians or Keeping Up With The Kardashians and wondered who this rambunctious group of women keep around them to stay humble, we finally have your answer. Enter The Girls, a new reality series centered around Khloe Kardashian’s “inner circle of real-life besties,” who have often been featured in their shows on E! and Hulu, but have never gotten the opportunity to tell their own stories. Leading the cast are Natalie Halcro, Khadijah Haqq, Malika Haqq, Yris Palmer, Olivia Pierson, and Nicole Williams English.
The show’s logline reads: “They’re building empires. They’re building families. They’re always unfiltered. Welcome to The Girls, where Khloé Kardashian’s inner circle of real-life besties are raising babies, running businesses, and surviving brutally honest group chats. From surprise proposals to solo parenting, glam getaways to growing pains, this is the new era of reality TV where the chaos is couture — and the bonds are unbreakable.”
No date yet for this Hulu show, but it’s slated to drop on Hulu later this year.

The spinoff features professional dancers vying for a chance to become the next pro on Dancing With the Stars, and it premieres on ABC July 13.
Maura Higgins and Ciara Miller Confirmed as the First Two Dancing With the Stars Season 35 Contestants
During the broadcast, DWTS Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough introduced a “new bombshell entering the ballroom,” which is when Maura Higgins from Love Island and The Traitors US walked out to announce that she would be dancing in the fall. Nervously, Higgins told the crowd that she has “two left feet” but that at least she’s not alone, as she also introduced a video message from Summer House‘s Ciara Miller, the second person joining the cast for Season 35. Miller — who has recently been caught in the middle of the Amanda Batula and West Wilson dating drama — said she was sad she couldn’t make it in person, but is excited to get to dancing this fall on ABC.
Travis Barker Documentary Film Coming To Hulu This Summer
Years after surviving a plane crash that nearly killed him, Travis Barker is opening up about his journey from trash collector to Blink-182 drummer to husband and father. According to the film’s logline, the film will examine Barker’s silent struggles with “pain, grief, and the thin line between survival and surrender… This is the story of the man behind the tattoos. A tribute to those who keep going when the music almost stops.”
The film, which premieres this summer, will also include appearances from friends, collaborators, and others who have been influential and critical to Barker’s rise to fame and his journey to recovery.

The Mob Reality Competition Series Premiering Later This Year
Parker Posey is going from The White Lotus to a mansion worthy of Don Corleone as she takes on the role of host for Hulu’s new reality competition, The Mob. In this Traitors-esque game, celebs like Demi Engemann from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Bruno Tonioli from Dancing With the Stars, and The Sopranos star Aida Turturro will face off against each other to “whack” the competition and make it one step closer to winning a prize of up to $250,000.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 5 Is Back In Production
As mentioned above, Layla, Jessi, Miranda, and Mayci all appeared alongside each other to christen their new Mormon Wives California counterparts into MomTok and to share the news that they are soon to resume production on Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. This comes after a month-long break amid news surrounding Taylor Frankie Paul — who was absent from Hulu Gets Real — and an investigation into an alleged domestic incident involving her ex, Dakota Mortensen. It was reported at the time that Taylor’s fellow castmates asked for a break in filming as things escalated off-camera.
It’s worth noting that cameras were swarming the palatial estate in Beverly Hills where Hulu Gets Real was hosted, so could Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives kick off with this very event? Fans will just have to tune in when it is released, although no date for that yet.
