2015 Summer Reality TV Premiere Dates: Set Your DVR For These Must-See Reality Shows


Get your DVR ready for a full lineup of reality TV shows this summer. Whether you are a fan of the Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, Big Brother 17, America’s Got Talent, or American Ninja Warriors, reality show addicts have a long list of viewing options this summer.

Before summer officially begins, ABC will premiere the 10th season of The Bachelorette on May 18. This year, the network is changing things up by starting out the show with two leading ladies, but spoilers indicate one girl won’t make it past the first episode. The franchise’s summer spinoff, Bachelor in Paradise Season 2, will premiere on August 2, shortly after the Bachelorette finale. BIP 2 is set to start filming later in the spring in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Buddy TV reports that ABC has also set premiere dates for CelebrityWife Swap (May 20), and Extreme Weight Loss (May 26). Two competitions based reality shows, Rising Star (June 22), and Sing Your Face Off (May 31) will also air on ABC.

CBS will air the premiere of Extreme Weight Loss on May 26, and the popular Big Brother Season 17 on June 24. Big Brother will feature episodes three nights a week on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Big Brother After Dark premieres on June 25.

Tune in to NBC to watch two pre-summer reality shows — American Ninja Warrior (May 25) and America’s Got Talent (May 26). NBC will also premiere four additional reality shows during the summer, including Food Fighters, hosted by Man vs. Food‘s Adam Richman (July 22); Food Fighters (July 2); Running Wild with Bear Grylls (July 13); and Last Comic Standing (July 22).
