In February 2015, Warner Bros. announced the series had been renewed for a second season.[8] In October 2015, the series was renewed for a third and fourth season, allowing it to air through 2018.[9][10] The program switched to broadcasting live in its fourth season, allowing viewers "a seat at the table" starting September 2017.[11]
In January 2018, the series was renewed for a fifth and sixth season.[12][13] In November 2019, the series was renewed for a seventh and eighth season through the 2021–2022 television season.[14]

The show is produced by 495 Productions and Telepictures Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.[15][16][17]
On April 8, 2022, it was reported that The Real had been cancelled and the eighth season would be its last.

Well you know what happened to me today – I have arrived because my contract is up at The Real and I didn't renew it, because it doesn't feel good to my soul to be at a place where I can not, speak to my people the way they need to be spoken to. And where the people that are speaking to me in despairing ways are not being handled. I'm not at a space where as a full black woman I can have my voice and my co-workers also have their voices and where the people at the top are not respecting the necessity for black voices to be at the top too.
