Inside THE NEXT: 15 & What’s Real in THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA with Producer Carlos King
THE NEXT: 15 breaks the “fourth wall” between producers and the talent, revealing what happens not only on camera, but what normally happens behind it too. The docs-series follows the lives of six reality stars whose shows have come and gone and are attempting to generate their next 15 minutes of fame. Producer Carlos King shares clips from his new series while discussing the need to show audiences what is “real” in reality TV. King also discusses THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA, Nene Leakes, “gay” language and the importance of showing the range of African American experience in this episode of Media Mayhem hosted by Allison Hope Weiner.
