Jacob Rees-Mogg Ventures into Reality TV with 'Meet the Rees-Moggs'

The former Conservative MP and his family star in a Discovery+ series, blending upper-class eccentricity with political undertones.

Jacob Rees-Mogg's reality series offers a glimpse into his family's privileged lifestyle, featuring black-tie dinners, private chapels, and a staffed household.
The show, which coincided with Rees-Mogg losing his parliamentary seat in the 2024 general election, highlights his campaign trail and personal life.
Critics are divided, with some describing the series as vapid and toothless, while others see it as an entertaining look at an eccentric political figure.
Rees-Mogg has acknowledged the potential risks of reality TV but views the series as a calculated move to remain in the public eye and potentially aid a political comeback.
The show has sparked discussions about the ethics of involving children in reality TV and whether it effectively serves as reputation management for the controversial ex-MP.
