Yeah buddy! For the first time ever, MTV’s iconic reality series Jersey Shore is getting its very own Canadian spinoff. If GTL is your lifestyle, you’re in luck. Casting is officially open, and Canadians now have the chance to join the new series. Here’s everything you need to know.
Paramount+ announced the new series set north of the border, planned to be filmed this summer. According to the streaming platform, the production team is looking for “10 fresh-faced, unapologetically wild Canadian singletons who embody the ‘Shores’ spirit.”
If you loved the OG Jersey Shore and felt connected to housemates Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Paul DelVecchio aka DJ Pauly D, Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, Deanna Cortese, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Angelina Pivarnick, and Vinny Guadagnino, this might be for you.
“Canadians have loved this fun, shocking, and authentic format since Jersey Shore first debuted in 2009,” says Vanessa Case, vice president of content at Paramount+ and Pluto TV Canada.
“We’re confident audiences will embrace this Canadian iteration, with its larger-than-life personalities, raw drama, and those unforgettable moments that define what becoming a Shore family is all about.”
Australia and France have also seen their own spinoffs of the series. As for Canada Shore (working title), it will be produced by Insight Productions, and nationwide casting is now open. Canadians can apply online until April 30, 2025.
The casting call is looking for Canadians between the ages of 19 and 26 who are “ready to move in with other like-minded people to experience the most unforgettable, unfiltered summer of their lives.”
To apply, simply fill out the online form with your personal details, share a bit about yourself, and include your social media handles.
You’ll also need to upload a photo of yourself and a video, no longer than three minutes.
In the video, make sure to mention who you are, where you’re from and why you want to go on the show. Share what a night out looks like with you, your party style and your dating life. Have fun with it, and show your true self.
“Canadians may have a reputation for being polite, but we can be just as feisty, loud, dramatic, and unapologetic as anyone else,” said Erin Brock, co-chief content officer at Insight Productions.
“And Insight is on the hunt for the wildest, most outrageous young Canadians who want to party with their future chosen family this summer. We’re beyond excited to team up with Paramount+ and can’t wait to introduce Shore fans worldwide to a bold new crew!”
