MTV has renewed The Real World for a 28th season and The Challenge for a 23rd season.
After The Real World made its debut on the cable network in 1992, it was praised for bringing a spotlight to issues relevant to young adults, such as sexuality, substance abuse and AIDS.
The Real World's 27th season, The Real World: St Thomas, will air later this year, Deadline reports.
The Challenge is a competition show that was created as a spin-off from MTV's two reality series The Real World and Road Rules. It recently wrapped up its season Challenge: Battle of the Exes, which was the highest-rated cycle of the last seven seasons with an average of nearly two million viewers a week.
Last week, MTV aired its Spring Break special, with musical guests Big Sean, B.o.B, The Wanted and Young Jeezy.
The cable network also capped off the recent season of Jersey Shore earlier this month.
