Fall 2021 reality TV schedule and guide

After a weird fall last year, television is back to some sense of normalcy, and that includes a lot of reality show premieres. Survivor is returning after a year-long absence, though with major changes; The Circle and The Bachelorette back for their second seasons this year; and we’ll get new seasons of Project Runway, Tough As Nails, and The Masked Singer, plus new shows such as the revival of Legends of the Hidden Temple.

This guide includes premiere dates for all reality show and documentary series premieres on broadcast, streaming, and cable TV in the United States. Times listed are in ET/PT, and were accurate at the time of publication.

For any reality shows that premiered before Sept. 1, 2021, such as Bachelor in Paradise and Love & Hip Hop: Miami, see the summer 2021 schedule. For feature documentaries and nonfiction specials, see the fall 2021 documentary premiere guide.

Program descriptions in quotation marks indicate text that has come directly from network press releases, the show’s website, or other official materials.

I frequently update this list throughout the quarter, but always check your guide or other TV listings. I try hard to ensure this a comprehensive list of reality TV premieres, although that’s ever-challenging now that some networks sometimes don’t even publicly announce returning seasons or even new shows, and change their schedules frequently.

If you have any updates, additions, or corrections, I welcome those! Just e-mail me. Thank you!
