Another series has returned. MTV’s Emmy Award-winning series True Life will return with a new franchise, True Life/Now, kicking off in the new year.
The original documentary series began in March 1998, with each episode following a specific topic. The show has tackled a plethora of topics including drug use, sexuality, money, politics and social issues. While the series was never canceled, a new episode hasn’t aired since June 2017.
Four episodes are set to uncover stories of real people immersed in today’s biggest social phenomena — whether they’re obsessed with a certain celebrity or using an app.
Below are descriptions of the four episodes. Plus, watch a trailer for the first episode above.
