Online Plus’s conference lineup Michelle Lin of media consultancy K7 Media highlighted a number of trends in reality shows, with the focus on social experiments, sports stories and true crime.
One trend within this strand is “every-day people trying to understand each other’s perspectives and conditions.” In “What Do You Think I Do,” which aired on MTV3 in Finland, a spouse switches their life with their partner’s for a week. They then make each other promises to improve their behavior going forward.
Science comes to the rescue with “The Great British Urine Test: The National Health Check,” to air on U.K.’s Channel 5. This will attempt to raise the awareness about public health issues. The show visits four cities and tests urine samples to demonstrate various concerns about the health of the nation, such as alcohol and drug consumption.
There are also documentary series that investigate the more unseemly side of sports, such as “Shame in the Game: Racism in Football,” which aired on BBC3 in the U.K. In February, Kate Beal, CEO of U.K. indie Woodcut Media, told Realscreen: “I think [true crime] is now an established genre that won’t go away. There will be an evolution into different types of true crime for different types of audiences, so it’s not just the classic true crime show for the classic true crime viewer anymore.”
