When SallyAnn Salsano developed the original “Jersey Shore” back in the late 2000s, she never could have predicted that the first time her entire cast would ever be under one roof together would be taking place 15 years later.

But, that’s exactly what’s happening Tuesday night as the iconic reality series that launched Snooki, JWoww, The Situation, DJ Pauly D and the rest of the Seaside Heights crew into pop culture superstardom celebrates its 15th anniversary.

“It’s insane. I got back last night at 2 a.m. from a shoot with them, and it’s still good. You know what I mean? Every time we leave, it just keeps rocking. It’s really kind of amazing. They are literally the gift that keeps on giving,” Salsano told TheWrap ahead of the MTV milestone. “It’s kind of crazy that way. Some of the kids that now work on the show had high school parties.

On April 1, 2023, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jenni “JWoww” Farley shared the news about the return of their Jersey Shore spinoff series Snooki & JWoww. However, we’re here to let fans know this wasn’t a real announcement but an April Fools’ joke.

“Lets Goooo!” Nicole captioned her Instagram post from April 1, 2023. “The biatches are coming back!” The post was a screenshot of a “press release” from MTV news. “MTV greenlights ‘Snooki and JWoww’ reboot,” the headline reads. The fake announcement continued:

“MTV announced the return of the iconic series Snooki & JWoww. The reboot is slated to premiere this year, 2023. Based off the original docuseries that followed the lives of two best friends, Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi and Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley.

When Jersey Shore ended in 2012, many fans were eager to see more from the MTV reality stars. Between 2012 and 2018 when Jersey Shore: Family Vacation premiered, the cast did several spinoff shows. Some of these Jersey Shore spinoffs remain favorites among fans, while there are others fans claim they’ve never heard of. Here’s every Jersey Shore spinoff and where to watch them.

Pauly DelVecchio was the first Jersey Shore celebrity to get a spinoff after the original series ended. He was the star of The Pauly D Project, a show about his pursuit of becoming a famous DJ, which premiered in March 2012.

Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola became a reality TV star when Jersey Shore premiered in 2009. However, when the MTV series returned with the spinoff Jersey Shore: Family Vacation in 2018, Sammi wasn’t part of the series. Now, the former reality star keeps fans updated on her social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok. Here’s what Sammi has been up to since leaving the Jersey Shore spotlight, including a day-in-the-life post and who she is dating in 2023.

Unlike her former co-stars, Sammi avoided reality TV after Jersey Shore ended. She did appear briefly in Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s spinoff series Snooki & JWoww and later, Moms With Attitude. But when Jersey Shore: Family Vacation came about, Samantha wasn’t part of it.

To this day, she...

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, one of the cast members of MTV’s popular “Jersey Shore” reality series (and its spinoffs), has decided to “step away from the show” in order to “seek medical treatment for mental health issues.”

Last month, Ortiz-Magro was arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of domestic violence. Ronnie is currently on probation for a similar charge in 2019.

“After talking to the team at MTV, we have mutually agreed that I will step away from the show while I seek medical treatment for mental health issues that I’ve ignored for too long,” Ortiz-Magro wrote Thursday evening in an Instagram Stories post.

“My number one goal now is facing my struggles head on,” last night’s statement continued. “This process will be difficult, but my #1 priority is to get healthy and be the best man and the best father I can for my daughter.”

Around the same time, Ortiz-Magro also posted the below list.

CBS All Access is offering a whole lot more value for money starting today.

The streamer has added over 3,500 episodes from BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Smithsonian Channel.

This content infusion brings CBS All Access up to 20,000 Episodes and Movies in total.

Additionally, CBS All Access is adding a new Nickelodeon-Produced SpongeBob SquarePants Children's Series Kamp Koral in 2021.

ViacomCBS today announced a significant expansion of CBS All Access, n a major step toward transforming CBS All Access into a diversified super service for the company.

More than 3,500 episodes across ViacomCBS' leading portfolio of entertainment brands will now be available on CBS All Access.

The service also began rolling out a new user interface across all major device platforms today with enhanced personalization and discovery features, including advanced recommendations, curated homepages, new content categories and central hubs for ViacomCBS' brands to seamlessly find and explore content by brand.

CBS All Access is looking to soak up some of SpongeBob SquarePants‘ success. The streaming service announced Thursday that it will be the exclusive home to the Kamp Koral, a CG-animated prequel series that follows 10-year-old SpongeBob to summer camp.

Previously intended for Nickelodeon, the first SpongeBob spinoff will instead bow as part of a rebranded CBS All Access, which is set to undergo a name change in 2021 as the streamer expands to include titles from across the ViacomCBS portfolio. All Access will also serve as the exclusive home to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, whose theatrical release...

The “Spongebob” prequel series “Kamp Koral” is moving from Nickelodeon to CBS All Access, where it will debut next year as part of the rebranded service.

The series will see a 10-year-old SpongeBob during his summer at the eponymous camp. In the series, SpongeBob and his pals spend the summer building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral. “SpongeBob SquarePants'” Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller will co-executive produce the prequel.

It won’t be a 2-dimensional cartoon like the flagship “SpongeBob.” It will instead be computer-generated animation. The move follows last month’s announcement that “The Spongebob Movie: Sponge on the Run” from Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies is skipping theaters and will premiere on premium Video On Demand, followed by a debut exclusively on CBS All Access early next year.

ViacomCBS is playing the tonnage game with CBS All Access, paving the way for the launch of a renamed and bulked-up version of the direct-to-consumer streaming service in early 2021.

CBS All Access is adding 70 shows — representing more than 3,500 episodes in all — from legacy Viacom cable networks including BET, Comedy Central, MTV and Nickelodeon. The additional programming boosts CBS All Access’ title count to more than 20,000 TV episodes and movies, and ViacomCBS plans to up that to over 30,000 by the time it relaunches the service next year.

“It’s the first big step to transform All Access into the super-service we’ve been talking about,” said Marc DeBevoise, president/CEO of ViacomCBS Digital and ViacomCBS’s chief digital officer.

The media conglomerate first announced the plans to expand the programming available in CBS All Access earlier this year to include ViacomCBS cable content, under what it dubbed the “House of Brands” strategy.

Are your fists pumping? Because MTV has released the official trailer for the new episodes of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” and you could say the Seaside Heights crew has got a “Situation” on their hands.

The trailer shows the squad rallying around Mike “The Situation,” who faces prison time as he plans his wedding. Meanwhile, Deena’s getting ready to give birth, Jenni’s on the verge of a divorce, Ronnie’s tired of being the butt of everyone’s jokes, and Pauly’s getting crafty with ideas for a wedding prank.

“We’re not kids anymore,” Ronnie says in the trailer, which you can watch above. It will also air during Thursday’s episode of “Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D and Vinny” at 8/7c on MTV.

Thursdays are about to become Jerzdays again — “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” returns to MTV with more episodes on July 11, the network announced Thursday.

A new teaser finds the crew gearing up for Mike “The Situation’s” wedding, and gives fans a hilarious ultimatum: “Speak now or forever pump your fist.” You can watch the clip above.

A spinoff of the original “Jersey Shore” reality series that aired from 2009 to 2012, “Family Vacation” catches up with the original Seaside Heights crew a decade after they first rose to fame.

The full list of housemates includes Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio,” Jenni “Jwoww” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Angelina Pivarnick, and Deena Nicole Cortese — all are returning for the third season of the spinoff, which...

Forget roses — on MTV’s new reality dating show “Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D & Vinny,” Vinny Guadagnino has a different proposition: “Will you accept these bros?”

The first trailer, which dropped Thursday, finds “Jersey Shore” vets Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino living their best bachelor life. Vowing that they’re “here to find love,” Pauly, Vinny and their prospective significant others toast with shot glasses as they all move into a house together, after which much drama soon commences.

Just in time for the 10th anniversary of “Jersey Shore,” the spinoff premieres April 11 on MTV with back-to-back episodes.

Here’s how it works: 20 female contestants will compete with one another to avoid elimination, while the boys compete for their affection. Pauly D is a world-traveling DJ with a Las Vegas residency and a luxurious lifestyle; Vinny wants a relationship with someone he can take home for Sunday family dinner.

Take two Jersey Shore veterans, add 20 single women and you have Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D & Vinny, a dating competition series just greenlighted at MTV. Said bachelors are Paul Delvecchio and Vinny Guaagnino, veterans of the original reality phenomenon and bromancers in current spinoff Jersey Shore Family Vacation.

Here’s how we play our game: Twenty eligibile ladies will face off against one another hoping to avoid the elimination ceremony, while the boys must compete for the affection of the contestants as well. As MTV notes: Pauly D continues to tour the world as a DJ while holding down a Las Vegas residency, but are any of the contestants ready to keep up with his luxurious lifestyle? Meanwhile, Vinny is ready to get back into a relationship, but will the Staten Island keto-guido find someone to take home for Sunday family dinner?

Are our heroes ready to find their perfect match?...

To be honest, Jersey Shore wasn’t even gone long enough for us to miss it. MTV’s unavoidable reality hit was only off the air for five years when it returned for a new season, subtitled Family Vacation, this April. And having seen the perpetually tan cast in spinoffs (Snooki & JWoww) and Burger King commercials since then, we weren’t exactly clamoring for more T-shirt time. So imagine our surprise when Family Vacation (airing Thursdays at 8/7c) turned out to be a massively entertaining — and yes, even somewhat moving — season of reality television.

Reuniting seven of Shore‘s original stars — Mike,...

Nearly a decade ago, the world was introduced to a group of unruly 20-somethings and the term “gym, tan, laundry.”

More than five years after “Jersey Shore” signed off the air, MTV is reuniting the group, who became worldwide household names as the reality show became a cultural phenomenon, drawing in nearly 9 million viewers per episode at its height.

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jennifer “JWoww” Farley, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Paul “Pauly D” DelVecchio, Deena Nicole Cortese, Vinny Guadagnino, and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro are all back for “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” the revival of “Jersey Shore” that will follow the escapades of the original cast on a month-long vacation in Miami Beach where they’ll all be living together in the same house, just like old times.

MTV announced Friday that "Jersey Shore" will return for its sixth season Oct. 4, and that its spinoff, "Snooki & Jwoww" will be back for a second season.

MTV wants more Snooki. The cable network on Friday renewed Snooki & JWoww for a second season and set an Oct. 4 premiere date for Jersey Shore's sixth season. MTV's Jersey Shore spinoff premiered in June to 2.4 million viewers, a far cry from the network's flagship series. The fifth season of Jersey Shore opened earlier this year to 7.6 million viewers, with Snooki & JWoww also down from the network's second spinoff, The Pauly D Project, which collected 2.9 million viewers in its plum post-Punk'd time slot in March. In announcing the Snooki renewal, the

Snooki certainly has a lot on her plate lately. The reality-tv star is currently in Seaside, New Jersey, filming the upcoming season of "Jersey Shore" with her fellow housemates, and tonight (June 21), she will be premiering her new spinoff show, "Snooki & JWoww."Of course, that's not all: She has been busy planning for her bundle of joy, a baby boy, due in September with fiancé Jionni Lavalle.

"I definitely don't want to get married anytime soon," Snooki recently told MTV News. "I don't want to rush everything and get married just because I'm pregnant. I want it to be very special, because I'm only getting married once, and this is the guy. You might as well have the baby and then get all looking...

Best friends Snooki and JWoww are about to embark on a whole new adventure. The two have traded in the boardwalk of Seaside, New Jersey, for the streets of Jersey City as they star in their new MTV spin-off, "Snooki & JWoww." Joining them on this new journey are their significant others and, of course, Snooki's baby boy, who's due in September.When the two first started filming, Snooki had just found out about her pregnancy, and we witness, on camera, Snooki breaking the big news to her "Jersey Shore" housemates, including her partner in crime JWoww.

"I told Jenni, and obviously it's freaky, because if Jenni told me that, I'd be like, 'What the hell is going on?' Snooki told MTV News.

Is Season 6 of "Jersey Shore" the boozy MTV reality show's last season with the original cast?

A new report from In Touch claims "Jersey Shore" is ending its run with its original cast members, but an MTV rep disputed the report, telling HuffPost TV that "no decision has been made yet on a final season."

According to In Touch, the cast was told the show was coming to an end when they arrived in Seaside Heights to begin filming Season 6 on May 31.

The show's upcoming season has been in a state of turmoil and transition, as its two biggest stars have dealt with upheaval in their personal lives. The Situation is newly out of rehab, and reports have emerged that his sober living companion may be staying in the house with the roommates. Snooki announced several months ago that she was pregnant, and MTV responded by boasting they would be...
