Spin-offs for JERSEY SHORE

It's official! MTV has given the go-ahead for two new series featuring a few Jersey Shore alum. Yes, fans of the show will eventually get to see Snooki and JWoww in their own show chronicling their lives away from the shore. They will also get to check out Pauly D in his very own series following his adventures as very much sought after DJ.

After stints with the WWE, actually getting in on the action on Wrestlemania and countless numerous public appearances, Snooki is reunited with her best friend, Jenni, in their own show. According to MTV reps “viewers will get to see how they deal with life and love when the vacation is over in this 12-episode series. The locale may be different, but the friendship is sure to remain the same".

When it came to DJ Pauly D's series, they had this to say, “Pauly D’s jet-setting and often hilarious life on the road as one of the country’s most in-demand DJs. Aiming to become one of the world’s most successful and recognized names in music, viewers will get to see Pauly D chase his dream with the help of the best friends he grew up with in Rhode Island by his side,”.

“The Jersey Shore cast is at the center of the show’s ongoing success and Nicole, Pauly D and Jenni have become household names as a result of their unique, sometimes outrageous and often hilarious personalities,” Chris Linn, MTV Executive Vice President of Programming and Head of Production, said in a statement. “We’re excited to put the spotlight on their lives away from the shore as they pursue their individual passions, careers and relationships. Both series are fun, fresh ways for us to evolve what is an already successful brand for us.”

After some rumor speculation about the fourth season for the original series, it would seem that it too has been given the green light as the entire cast has signed on to return. It is reportedly to take place in the city of Florence, Italy but there hasn't been any word so far when shooting will begin.
