《真實之虛》本劇的背景為一節目拍攝製作團隊，讓人得以一窺兩性約會競爭遊戲節目「直到永遠」混亂的幕後情況。由西里艾波比飾演的瑞秋葛柏和康斯坦斯季默飾演的昆恩金兩位擔任節目製作人，在第一季成功以兩性衝突與性別議題炒作節目主題後，第二季將會涉及種族和政治元素，將出現首位非裔美籍男子作為實境秀男主角加入「直到永遠」，更加攪亂原本已相當混亂一池春水。本季一樣可以看見的熟面孔有克雷格畢爾歌飾演的查特，一心只想留住他在現場的主導權。喬許凱力飾演的傑瑞米，「直到永遠」掌鏡攝影師的傑弗瑞包耶爾查普曼所飾演的杰，另外會出現一位新角色，野心勃勃的現場製片。
UnREAL gives a fictitious behind-the-scenes glimpse into the chaos surrounding the production of a dating competition program, Everlasting. Having already tackled relevant matters of gender politics, the series, starring Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer as producers Rachel Goldberg and Quinn King, will stir up the drama in season two when Everlasting casts its first-ever African American suitor.
Returning as series regulars are Craig Bierko as Everlasting’s creator, Chet, who is on a quest to reclaim his full power on set; Josh Kelly as Jeremy, Everlasting’s director of photography; and Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman as Jay, a field producer whose ambitions run far beyond the show. Everlasting’s new suitor Darius Hill, an All-American football star, will be played by B.J. Britt.
