Netflix is slowly and steadily trying to foray into reality TV as well and continuously updating its catalog with interesting reality TV shows. Television is filled with a lot of reality shows and if you need your show to connect with viewers, then you need to have something unique in your content.

Shows like ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’, ‘The Bachelorette’ and ‘Survivor’ have been some of the biggest reality TV shows over years. However, they seem to have lost steam because of their content. So, Netflix has decided to create some unique content in the Reality TV space and announced a new reality show titled ‘The Future Diary’.
