Season chronology

The Real World: Portland is the twenty-eighth season of MTV's reality television series The Real World, which focuses on a group of diverse strangers living together for several months in a different city each season, as cameras follow their lives and interpersonal relationships. It is the seventh season of The Real World to be filmed in the Pacific States region of the United States, specifically in Oregon, and is also the second season to be filmed in the Pacific Northwest after The Real World: Seattle.

The season featured a total of eight human cast members over the course of the season, as one cast member was replaced after she voluntarily left the show, as well as a dog. Portland, Oregon was first reported as the location for the twenty-eighth season in a June 19, 2012 article on the website Byronbeck.com.[1] MTV Head of Programming David Janollari confirmed that Portland would be the location for the twenty-eighth season on August 3, 2012, at the annual Television Critics Association Press Tour.[2] Production started from August 2, 2012, and concluded on October 31, 2012. The season premiered on March 27, 2013, consisting of 12 episodes.[3]

This is the last season of The Real World to use the cast narration "This is the true story...of seven strangers..." in the opening title sequence, before a new format was implemented beginning with the 29th season. It was later brought back on the 33rd season.

In 2019, the season was made available for streaming on Facebook Watch alongside The Real World: Austin and The Real World: Key West.[4]
