NEW SERIES : MTV Juvies This gritty and tense documentary illustrates what happens when kids, who have never had a previous brush with the law, find out their choices have real consequences. The teens are forced to address the real issues in their lives including social pressures, internal politics and their current relationships. Through exclusive State Supreme Court access to the Lake County Juvenile Center in Indiana, MTV’s Juvies examines what happens to first time offenders during their stay at the detention center and offers an unprecedented look inside the courtroom, where their lives and their future are at the hands of one judge who will determine their sentence. Break the Addiction This half-hour MTV special discusses global warming and encourages young viewers to "break the addictions" that are destroying the environment. Aimed at ending global warming and over-consumption, Break the Addiction encourages young people to commit to a 12-step recovery program to change their habits and, in turn, change their world. The goal of this program is to instill hope in people and let them know that they can make differences in their daily lives that will ultimately effect the environment for the better and help save the planet. Two-A-Days This documentary series follows the highly-ranked Hoover High School Bucaneers of Hoover, Alabama, through its high school football season. The Bucs are nationally ranked and chasing their fourth consecutive state championship title. But in Alabama, communities take their football extremely seriously, and the players are living under tremendous pressure to earn football scholarships and win a championship ring -- not to mention the demands of girlfriends, parents, and teachers. This pressure forces the players to address a wide range of topics and controversial issues that are common to all teenagers, whether they’re vying for football championship, studying for a big exam or dealing with peer pressure at school. Moves MTV brings Jennifer Lopez’s Moves to Canadians in a new reality series about the lives of dancers working to make it in the business. From the rush of dancing for thirty-thousand screaming fans, to the struggle of paying the rent, from soundstage to centre stage, dance studio to dance floor, MTV will follow six dancers with six interconnected stories as they tackle different issues and attempt to achieve their dreams. As Executive Producer, Lopez played an integral role in the discussions, selecting and auditioning the dancers and will make cameo appearances throughout the season. 24/7 An entrepreneur, a rock star, an actor, a director, a record producer, and a Buddhist? Well, this show is set in LA… Meet Greg Carney, a 23-year-old Southern boy transplanted from Arkansas. Carney is a responsible up and coming entrepreneur and leader of a raucous group of seven guys who come from different parts of the country and from very different backgrounds. There’s Matt Baker, a Val Kilmer look-a-like making his mark as an actor; Greg Whitman, the budding young record producer; Ty Hodges, the valley boy filmmaker; Greg Cies, the Venice beach hippie and new age reggae singer; and finally the Mexican Hugh Hefner club promoter, Frankie Del Gado, who came here alone just a year ago virtually penniless. Together these guys along with Carney brother Chris are touted as Hollywood’s hottest new crew. They count as A-List celebrities among their friends; they throw big, lavish parties; and deal with power, fame and endless temptations. We’ll witness their actions, the reactions, conversations and debates, and see the insecurity, uncertainty and apprehension that everyone faces. This series is unscripted 24/7 and captures the life of these guys as they work and play together and it asks the question – can these friends stay together in the face of success? Real World: Denver The 18th season of The Real World will be set in the picturesque city of Denver, Colorado with endless diversity, activities, energy and nightlife and is sure to be endlessly compelling to the seven roommates and audiences alike. As in previous seasons, The Real World is the story of seven strangers who have been picked to live in a house and have their lives taped. Find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting REAL; lives intersect, ideas are challenged and passions emerge. It’s unscripted, it’s provocative and it’s TRUE. Rolling Stones The Rolling Stone reality project documents the drama that materializes when a group of six young writers are hired to write for Rolling Stone Magazine over the summer. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime for budding young journalists and in this case, the kids get the real opportunity to pitch and write stories that get published in the legendary magazine. The six young journalists will fret over assignments, struggle to get interviews with celebrities, collaborate as group reporters, share experiences, and discuss their dreams. And at the end of the summer, one of these young writers will be offered a one year contract as a staff writer for the magazine. NEW SUMMER SERIES Cheyenne MTV’s latest reality series Cheyenne is the story of singer-songwriter / musical prodigy, Cheyenne Kimball. Cheyenne chronicles the life of a teenager living your not-so typical teenage life. The series documents the journey and drama that unfolds as Cheyenne takes the next step in her music career with the hope of becoming a major rock star. Cheyenne may have been crowned as America’s Most Talented Kid at the tender age of 10, which helped to boost her career from a talented small town girl to a national music prodigy; but her success in this next chapter can make all the difference in whether or not she will one day be playing in that arena in front of a live audience. Find out what she has to say about this success, its affect on her ability to be a “normal” teenager and the issues that make-up her ‘new’ life experiences. Cheyenne The Hills The long awaited spin-off of Laguna Beach starring Lauren “LC” Conrad, picks up where Laguna Beach left off with Lauren moving to Los Angeles to attend fashion school with the hopes of a career in the fashion industry. Having already found a great apartment, a new friend to share it with and a killer internship at Teen Vogue, Lauren will have to balance it all and make it happen in the one city they say dreams come true. In addition to introducing new friends in LA, The Hills features the love interests, which causes added drama, and as girls they have to discuss it all - to death - the jobs, school, friends, parties, love and relationships are all dissected and scrutinized in a way that is common to teenagers. Real World/Road Rules Challenges: Fresh Meat This time, MTV brings the summer sizzle from Australia with the RW/RR Challenge: Fresh Meat. As the challenge heads down under to sunny Australia, a dramatic new twist to the game finds 12 seasoned Real World and Road Rules alumni competing with 12 eager new players who’ve never been on any show before - the “Fresh Meat”. Paired up in teams (one Alumnus with one Fresh Meat competitor), the duos must strategize and overcome internal politics to come up with a plan and to survive against a house full of conniving personalities, a series of grueling challenges, and a mysterious elimination process called “Exile” if they want to make it to the end and claim the victory.
