MTV Renews JERSEY SHORE For Sixth Season

MTV gets ready for fist pumps and baby bumps, with the announcement of a sixth season of JERSEY SHORE Production is set to begin Summer 2012 in Seaside Heights, NJ. America's favorite housemates will all return to their home-away-from-home, and the house dynamic is headed into unchartered territory... as their lives outside the "Shore" take off in exciting new directions. While things will definitely be a little different this time when they hit the boardwalk, their trademark hilarity and family dysfunction will remain the same.

In its fifth season, "Jersey Shore" is once again the #1 2012 cable series among P12-34, delivering 9 of the top 15 cable telecasts of 2012 to date. Adding in its incredible DVR playback, season five averaged a 7.4 P12-34 rating and 7.9 million total viewers.

Tune-in for "Jersey Shore: The Reunion" this Thursday, March 22 at 10:00 p.m. ET, when all the drama from the past season comes to a head, as the cast members confront each other face to face. For a sneak peek of "Jersey Shore: The Reunion," click here.

Fans will still be able to get their "Jersey Shore" fix, when Paul "Pauly D" DelVecchio steps out of the "Shore" house and into the spotlight, with the series premiere of "The Pauly D Project" on Thursday, March 29 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, following the much-anticipated return of "Punk'd" at 10:00 p.m., featuring a new celebrity host each week.

"Jersey Shore" is executive produced by SallyAnn Salsano from 495 Productions. Jacquelyn French is executive producer for MTV. Janay Dutton is Executive In Charge of Production for MTV. Concept created by Anthony Beltempo.
