The fourth and final season ofUnREALhas dropped in full on streaming serviceStanprecisely at the time when Australians need it the most.

Aussie reality TV junkies are currently at the feverish heights of their obsession with watching strangers profess their love for one another on TV, withLove Islandhaving just wrapped andTheBachelorabout to kick off for a new season.

NowUnREALis here to remind you what’s actually going on behind the curtain.

If you need a refresher on this groundbreaking show, UnREAL takes audiences behind the scenes of a The Bachelortype reality TV dating show calledEverlasting,shining a spotlight on the true manipulation and ugliness it takes to make your favourite TV shows.

The show centres on Rachel Goldberg (played by Shiri Appleby) who serves as a lead producer onEverlastingand is renowned for her skills at manipulating her relationships with the contestants to get the outrageous footage that the program’s ferocious and brilliant executive producer Quinn King ( Constance Zimmer) demands of her.

Season four follows Rachel (a once again brilliant performance by Appleby who also directs two episodes of the season including the series finale) and Quinn (Zimmer, who also directs one episode) as they return to the set ofEverlastingfor an “All-Stars”-themed season.

Listen to UnReal star Constance Zimmer talk about what went on behind the scenes of UnReal season three and the evolution of Quinn King with Mamamia Entertainment Editor Laura Brodnik.

Also returning for the show’s fourth and final season (streaming serviceHulu, who runs the show in the US, confirmed to news outlets that this will be the show’s final season) is Australian actorreprising his role as hippie bachelor August.

According to Demos, the popularity ofUnREALhas forever changed the way we view this genre of TV, although he cautioned that true romantics will never want to believe that televised searches for true love are a complete lie.

Demos has also promised that fans ofUnREALwill not be disappointed with the all-stars series of the show, confirming that the writers really went to town when it came to coming up with story-lines for the characters.

It's safe to say that season four ofUnREAL has really turned things around this time around.

Instead of grappling with the consequences of her actions behind-the-scenes ofEverlasting,Rachel has fully immersed herself in her villainous role. Not only is she sporting a whole new look, (including blonde hair) she's also taking things much further with the contestants safety and feelings than Quinn ever did.

It may be the last season ofUnREAL,but the show is really going out with a bang.

Every episode of UnREAL season fourpremiered Tuesday 17 Julyexclusively onStan and is now available to stream. UnREAL Seasons one and three are currently streaming exclusively on Stan.
