MTV's 'Catfish' Double Life Reality Series Continues CastingMTV's 'Catfish' Double Life Reality Series Continues Casting

Catfish, the breakout documentary feature by co-directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost, is a fascinating, funny, and insightful look at how we live now, with online socialization changing not only our relationships with others, but also with ourselves.  Unusually for a documentary, Catfish not only emerged as a part of mainstream popular culture, but it introduced the term "catfish" as a descriptor for a person who maintain online profiles that are actually fiction, unrelated to their real lives.  Now, MTV is filming a reality series continuing Catfish's exploration of online double lives.

In February of this year, IAR brought the news that this MTV series was casting, and while several episodes have been shot, casting on further episodes is currently ongoing.  MTV is searching for new individuals who utlize social media to invent, exaggerate, or manipulate, as well as those who know people who do so.  If you fit into either category, then you could be on the series.

The film chronicles an online relationship between Manhattan photographer Nev Schulman and Megan Faccio, a woman who seemed simply too good to be true, prompting Nev, Ariel, and Henry to take a road trip to her in Michigan, where they discovered the real person behind Megan's digital persona. 

Schulman is teaming up with MTV to host the upcoming double lives series, and this new video from Nev explains just why you should be interested in appearing on the television show:

In an exclusive interview with IAR Managing Editor Jami Philbrick, Nev Schulman explained the concept of the MTV series.  "The premise of the show is, having gone through the experience of an online-relationship-turned-mystery-road-trip adventure, which is what Catfish was, I will now be in a position to facilitate other people’s Catfish adventures," he said. "So someone will reach out to me and say, 'I’m really into this guy, we’ve been talking online for months. He lives far away, we can’t afford to meet but we definitely want to, I think he is the one. Can you help?' So I’ll get the email, I’ll contact the sender via Skype, or cell phone, go wherever they live, and they’ll tell me their story all about their relationship. They guy or the girl will fill me in from their perspective. Then I’ll take them to a far away place to meet the person that they’ve been talking to. I’ll connect them for the first time in real life to discover, uncover, and reveal who they really are and have that essential face to face opportunity to be with one another for better or worse."

Full Disclosure: Catfish the TV Series is produced by Relativity Real, which is owned by Relativity Media, iamROGUE's parent company.
