Summer 2022 reality TV schedule and guide

Competitions, game shows, natural history, and drama: summer reality TV is bringing it all this year, from the usual summer staples (American Ninja Warrior, The Bachelorette, and Big Brother) to shows bringing the heat and drama (Married at First Sight, Southern Charm, and Buckhead Shore).

We’ll also get brand-new competitions (The Challenge: USA, Claim to Fame), plus revivals of old shows (Password, Iron Chef, and College Hill), and a lot more.

This guide includes premiere dates for all reality show and documentary series premieres on broadcast, streaming, and cable TV in the United States this spring and beyond. Times listed are in ET/PT.

For any reality shows that premiered before June 1, 2022, such as America’s Got Talent, Masterchef, or Life Below Zero: First Alaskans, please check the spring 2022 schedule.

For feature documentaries and nonfiction specials, see the summer 2022 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, so while dates and times are accurate at the time of publication, please check your TV listings first. I work hard to ensure this a comprehensive list of reality TV and documentary series premieres, although that’s increasingly challenging now as schedules change frequently and some networks don’t even publicly announce returning seasons.

If you have any updates, additions, or corrections, please send them to me. Thank you!
