Dear newsletter subscribers,

Here’s your weekly look at what’s premiering in unscripted TV: returning shows, new series, and documentary features and specials. This week is bringing us the finale of Top Chef, two brand-new streaming competition series, and a lot more.

First, a long overdue thanks to the newest reality blurred supporters: Evin Shinn, Lauri Rizzo, Diane Lanier, Olivia H., Scott Hardie, Kim Reed, Jon Martin, Robert Capua, Michael Chaskes, Scott Kjeer, and Stephanie Scholes.

I appreciate their support of my work, whether it's this weekly preview or analyzing reality show contracts.
