MTV reviving its ‘Jersey Shore’ franchise
Network will debut ‘MTV Floribama Shore’, following a cast of eight young adults who spent a summer together in Florida’s Panama City Beach
MTV is reviving its Jersey Shore franchise, this time down South.
The network said on Monday it will debut MTV Floribama Shore later this month, following a cast of eight young adults who spent a summer together in Florida’s Panama City Beach with the expected personal dramas. It’s being made by the same production company as Jersey Shore, which aired from 2009 to 2012.
Jersey Shore was the network’s highest-rated original series, making stars of characters like Snooki and The Situation, and spawning worldwide spinoffs like Warsaw Shore in Poland.
MTV is becoming the reboot channel, recently reviving Total Request Live and Unplugged. Its new Siesta Key is inspired by Laguna Beach.
Floribama Shore debuts on November 27, the Monday after Thanksgiving.
