Season five of MTV’s hit series Jersey Shore will premiere on MTV (DStv channel 321) on 18 March at 11pm.
Fresh from an extended stay in Florence, Italy, America’s favourite housemates are returning to Seaside Heights, New Jersey.
You can take the kids out of Jersey, but once you put them back, you never know what might happen as Snooki, Sammi, J-WOWW, Deena, Pauly D, Ronnie, Vinnie and Mike “The Situation’ Sorrentino hit the boardwalk, polishing up their fake tans and getting on down in their favourite club, all while continuing to prove that – while you can spend the summer in a lot of places – the Jersey Shore is truly unforgettable.
Back on their home turf and excited to be in their natural habitat, the cast hit the ground running to get their “G.T.L’ (Gym, Tan, Laundry) regime back on schedule while also dealing with their evolving group dynamic amidst the tensions and hook-up rumours left over from their time in Europe.
From working at the T-shirt shop to trips to their beloved Karma, it’s a typical summer in Seaside Heights and the Jersey Shore cast couldn’t be happier to be back. But what happens in Florence doesn’t always stay in Florence… There’s plenty of unresolved business between Snooki and The Situation, which inevitably involves the rest of the house. Still, amidst all the drama, there are plenty of laughs and silly antics.
More zany and entertaining than ever, Jersey Shore continues the evolving story of the eight housemates who have come together once more to spend the summer season living and working in Seaside Heights. For each, the season holds something different: there will be romance and heartbreak, fighting and reconciliation, and – of course – some good old fashioned fist pumping on the dance floor.
Launched in December 1999, Jersey Shore is the latest in a long line of MTV reality series which began in 1992 with Real World, the show credited with kicking off the reality TV genre. A true pop culture phenomenon, Jersey Shore is MTV’s number one rated TV series of all time and has launched a host of spin-offs and imitators including Geordie Shore, a reality series set in Newcastle, UK.
