Summer reality shows 2015 schedule and guide

Welcome, summer! It’s hot, humid, and there’s a torrential downpour of reality TV shows. The summer reality shows on tap range from Catfish to the three-month onslaught of Big Brother. There are new and returning shows debuting throughout the summer months.

This reality TV show schedule is frequently updated with the officially announced debut dates of new and returning reality series. Times are ET/PT; because TV networks change their schedules and repeat episodes, check your guide or other TV listings. For all the reality shows that premiered before June 1, check out the spring 2015 schedule.

If you notice something is missing, or a day or timeslot has changed, please let me know! E-mail me any updates, additions, or corrections. Thanks.
