Six seasons of the original series aired between 2003 and 2006 and featured a grab-bag of actors, musicians, adult film stars, athletes, and other personalities. Past cast members include Corey Feldman, Tammy Faye Messner, Ron Jeremy, Vince Neil, MC Hammer, and Jose Canseco. Episodes of the original Surreal Life are available to stream on Paramount+. The original show also spawned several spinoffs, including My Fair Brady and Flavor of Love.

A teaser for the new season of The Surreal Life promises plenty of the kind of wild moments the show was known for in its initial run. In the clip, Daniels introduces her castmates to her “haunted doll, Susan” while admitting that “people just know me as the girl who f***ed Trump.” Meanwhile, Rodman is propositioning his fellow cast members and letting it all hang out – literally.
“We all see Dennis Rodman’s dong,” a shell-shocked Muniz says.
