UPDATE: Apparently, mum's the word on this season for a lot of different reasons. MTV or BMP is refusing to comment on the status of the fifteenth season of the Real World. Why? Well, MTV has not yet committed to a fifteenth season. There is really no official word on why MTV has not yet decided to pick up the Real World... However, there could be several factors at work, one being the impending outcome of the San Diego rape incident. This season is slated to begin filming in April... which is usually late in the year. Some magazines in Philadelphia are reporting that Philadelphia was already cast and the house was already chosen. However, unhappy with the casting, producers cut the cast and recasted. The location we reported has seen NO ACTION from personnel from the show, but it is still widely rumored that they are living there.
According to a fan, Danielle, the new house for Real World: Philadelphia has already been chosen. Although filming is in April, apparently the site for the house is 3rd and Arch St. The location, which is also near the Betsy Ross House, is in the Old City section of Philadelphia. Recently renovated on the corner of Third and Arch, is a section of previously abandoned buildings called Merchants Row. They were converted into luxury apartments, with Starbucks and Papery on the ground floor. Also on the corner is an art gallery which is home to the Philadelphia Fringe Festival every September. The corner also served as the set for Oprah's 1998 film Beloved. And there's also an Italian restaurant on the corner named La Locanda Del Ghiottone. So it serves an interesting backdrop if it is actually the site of the new house.
