Daytime talk show The Real is doing exceptionally well on Fox TV stations. So well, in fact, that the network has ordered two new seasons of the urban panel show. Viewers can expect to see Tamera Mowry, Tamar Braxton, Loni Love, Adrienne Bailon and Jeannie Mai come back for third and fourth seasons.
EUR reported that the Fox daytime talk show is doing well, pulling in big ratings for the network, especially among women ages 25-40. The show's ratings have increased 14 percent in that demographic.
All of the co-hosts bring their own unique personalities to the show and many women find them relatable. According to Deadline, The Real has played a key role in building the daytime viewership for the network. Network senior VP Frank Cicha stated that the show is regularly neck-in-neck in the ratings with ABC's competing The View.
The Real premiered in 2013 as a four-week trial run and quickly picked up viewership that surpassed the network's expectations.
"The Real in its second season has expanded on its promise of connecting with the diverse daytime television viewers and is delivering substantial ratings growth in the process," said Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution president Ken Werner, as reported by Deadline.
The show continues to compete with daytime talk shows like The View and Wendy Williams, but this show's panel of diverse co-hosts seem to be giving Williams a run for her money. According to Deadline, paired with Wendy Williams is some of the top markets, The Real is retaining Williams' demographically critical female lead-in viewership in its entirety.
The show featured many interviews with celebrity guests in it's first two seasons, including The Game's Pooch Hall, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Bobby Brown and a host of others. It was also on the show that co-host Bailon revealed her engagement to former fiance Lenny Santiago.
