FX renews 30 Days; Morgan Spurlock will be in two episodes

Dec. 12, 2006, 8:42 am | 0 comments

Morgan Spurlock’s quiet yet fascinating reality series 30 Days has been renewed for a third season.

FOX “has ordered six hourlong episodes of the show,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series “chronicles a person’s experience in an unfamiliar, sometimes hostile environment.”

There’s no word yet about casting for the show, nor about what experience Morgan Spurlock will experience. In the past two seasons, one of the six episodes has featured him doing something for 30 days–living on minimum wage in the first season and being in jail during the second season.

However, in this season, “he will be featured in two segments,” according to the paper. That’s a good move, considering that he’s far more charismatic and engaging than the regular people who are featured in the other five episodes.

about reality blurred

Welcome! I’m Andy Dehnart, a writer who obsessively and critically covers reality TV, focusing on how it’s made and what it means.

I created reality blurred 22 years ago as a place to collect interesting links I found. Today, I review and recommend reality shows, documentaries, and nonfiction entertainment; analyze news and report from behind the scenes; and interview people who create and star in reality TV shows. You'll also find other people's insightful takes on reality TV in these pages, too.

I believe pop culture can both entertain and affect us, and so reality blurred's goal is to amplify the best and hold the worst accountable. In other words, I’m here to call it out when it sucks and celebrate it when it’s amazing. Let’s talk about it together!
