‘Jersey Shore’ Cast Says More To Come After MTV Announces Final Season

“Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” may be coming to an end, but the veteran reality stars promise they’re not going anywhere. A new report has revealed that the MTV mainstays are saying goodbye to the reality show that made them stars later this year after eight seasons and more than 200 episodes.

MTV is preparing to air the final season of “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,” PEOPLE shared on March 4, 2026. The final season will begin on May 7.

All of the show’s original cast members, including Angelina Pivarnick, Deena Cortese, DJ Pauly D, Jenni ‘JWOWW’ Farley, Mike ‘The Situation’ Sirrentino, Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Sammi ‘Sweetheart’ Giancola, and Vinny Guadagnino, are set to return.

MTV is promoting the final season of “Jersey Shore” as the “last hurrah for a cultural icon” and teasing epic celebrations, including birthdays and general reveals.

Additionally, the show’s OGs are doing it big.

DJ Pauly D is continuing to build his presence in the music industry, launching a record label and taking things to the next level with his girlfriend, Nikki, while The Situation opens up about what it took to reach his fitness goals and celebrates 10 years of sobriety.

Snooki is balancing life as a busy mom to two children in sports while also learning how to balance her relationships with her friends. Ortiz-Magro, meanwhile, is returning to the show as a full-time cast member and opens up about the struggles that initially drew him away.

In a video shared online, the show’s stars promised viewers that while they’re saying goodbye to MTV, they have more in store down the line.

Weeks before the trailer for the final season of “Jersey Shore” was shared online, the show’s OG personality, Snooki, opened up about her health and revealed she has “stage 1 cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma.”

Snooki explained in a previous video, according to The Blast, that her doctor found cancerous cells atop her cervix, prompting even more tests.

She also said that her recent diagnosis was a result of her putting her checkups on the back burner.

“I’m 38 years old, and I’ve been struggling with abnormal pap smears for three or four years now, and now look at me,” she said. “Instead of putting it off because I didn’t want to go, because I was hurt and scared, I just went and did it. And it was there, cancer is in there. But it’s stage 1, and it’s curable.”

Snooki’s confession prompted messages of support from her “Jersey Shore” co-stars, including Giancola, who called her the “strongest woman,” while Farley said she had much “love” for the mother of two.

In her social media video, Snooki discussed the importance of taking one’s health seriously.

“The reason why my doctor’s on my a** all the time is because I waited,” she said. “I waited on my damn appointments because I knew I might not get great results, but also because I didn’t want to feel the pain. I didn’t want to deal with the stress of having to deal with all of this.”

She urged her followers to take their doctor’s advice seriously. “And if your doctor calls you to do it again, do it,” she added.
