Fox Renews Chatfest The Real for 3rd and 4th Consecutive Seasons + IFC Channel Re Ups

Fans of the chatfest The Real should be celebrating with bubbly, dvr settings and tweets as news hit that the top rated show has been renewed for not one but two seasons.


Yep, you read it right people, Loni Love, Tamar Braxton Herbert, Tamera Mowry Housley, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Bailon are guaranteed a spot via your cable and streaming guides for the next couple of years.

Senior Vice President of Programming for Fox TV Frank Cicha gave his insight into what makes the show tick:

“The Real has been an important piece in building our growing daytime lineup. In fact, in our universe, it often beats or ties The View. That alone is worth two more years in my book.’”

Congrats Ladies!! 

In other news, the IFC Site is in official relaunch mode with more enhanced social media links, video content and more.


Via press release:

An entirely new feature of the site allows users to customize their experience by choosing to view everything IFC has curated on the homepage at once or by filtering for the specific content they're interested in, like videos, editorial or social media feeds from Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr. Also new to the site is a "load more stuff" button at the bottom of the homepage which is a continuous scroll of content, allowing users to build a deeper connection to IFC's shows and personalities.

For access to full episodes of IFC's original comedies, IFC.com now integrates TV Everywhere streaming from the homepage and within the context of individual shows, rather than on a separate landing page. Full episodes of IFC comedies currently available include Documentary Now!, Benders, Gigi Does It, Comedy Bang! Bang! and The Spoils Before Dying.
