Behind the Screen: MTV's Border Life: Nogales

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

MTV's Border Life: Nogales

charlesncharge_ ·

Formerly "MTV's The Valley" aka MTV's Border Life: Nogales aka Border Love (TBD)

Announced back in June 2018 on Deadline:

Synopsis: The Valley (working title), a timely coming-of-age docuseries in the spirit of The Hills and Siesta Key which follows a group of young friends growing up in the Valley town of Nogales, Arizona, a city split in half, with one side in the United States and the other in Mexico

In the heat of "Trumps Wall"..and US/Mexico Border controversies...This city is HOT. Smacked dab in the middle of the conversation. This town is legit split in half & is where Trump would/could put his border up even bigger than it already is. 

Was slated for a Fall 2019 Premiere.

UPDATE: As of August 2020, the series still hasn't premiered but is close to a release. Multiple casting changes, COVID-19 layoffs did apparently affect the release of this. Producers are in conjunction with those of Siesta Key (so you can imagine how heavily produced this will probably be.) Production has been going on for 2 years in the small town. The group seemingly all go to the Univesity of Arizona. The girls are very cliquey and the guys are all jocks (baseball).  As of lately the show is being bounced around the network as "Border Love" and simply "Nogales". Rumor is it will air "Jerzdays" in October 2020.

charlesncharge_#19

Added a new cast member! Wonder where theyre at with production on this series? Its been reported most of them are back at school. 

JustQR#20

They really made a new show just to get Bananas a new girlfriend 

Chicken_breast#21

If MTV was smart they can film the cast struggling with real life and  school stuff. I feel like people would relate to that.

PinkRose#22

This was filmed 2018-2019 they had a green light from MTV but the project has seemed to have been pushed back until whenever? So fingers crossed it still comes out. Im sure when the time comes theyre gonna shoot new footage and revamp the show. Seems to be the new thing for MTV. 

Youssarian#26

What's Luis IG

LucciVee#27

Knowing MTV they already renamed the show thirty times and has swapped out half this cast for new ones. I wonder how many shows they film completely and never air because they don't know how to promote them.

any update on this one? 

charlesncharge_#31

Apparently lots of turnover at MTV, and series that were being worked on are over or still on hiatus. This might have got canned. Wish they didn't just hold onto all this content for no reason.
