Earlier today, we saw photos of the original cast of Jersey Shore as they moved into their temporary new home in Miami Beach, FL to film another season of their show … but it sounds like MTV wants to have its cake and eat it too. While the first batch of JS guidos/guidettes have begun filming another season of drama, MTV is lookin’ to cast an entirely NEW cast of folks to take up residence in the actual Jersey Shore for an entirely different show. Confused? Yeah, me too!
It’s out with the old and in with the new at the Jersey Shore! Do you have what it takes to be the next Pauly D or Snookster? MTV producers are currenty casting a fresh new new crop of “tanned and toned fist pumper(s)” (Their words, not mine….) who can prove they “dominate the gym, tear up the dance floor and rule the bedroom” (I don’t make this stuff up….) to star on future seasons of the network’s breakout reality smash Jersey Shore. On Monday, Doron Ofir Casting launched JerseyShoreCasting.com, the official casting site where aspiring reality stars can apply for Jersey Shore 2010, not to be confused with the original Jersey Shore, which is currently shooting in Miami with the GTLing cast that fans have grown to love to loathe … “I am searching for the proudest, loudest, and wildest to carry on the legacy and No haters allowed,” Doron Ofir, Executive Casting Director for the new Jersey Shore, said in a statement Monday. The casting call is searching for potential cast members nationwide, and filming on Jersey Shore 3 could possibly begin this summer with a season premiere coming as early as October. Interested future Fist Pumpers must be over 21 and “appear to be younger than 30.” For more information, log onto jerseyshorecasting.com.
OOOOH, I get it … Jersey Shore 1.0 is in Miami (and will likely get a name change at some point) and Jersey Shore 2.0 will film at the actual Jersey Shore this Summer for airing after JS 1.0 airs this Summer/Fall (or, it’s possible that MTV is only willing to give the original cast 2 seasons and then they are out … meaning this casting call would be for Jersey Shore season 3). I gotta say … brilliant move, MTV. They’ve got themselves a greasy, tanned and not too bright cash cow that they plan to milk for all its worth. Do YOU think you’ve got what it takes to be on MTV‘s Jersey Shore? Get those applications in, y’all! YOU could be America’s fave new Guido/Guidette!!

i just dont think a new cast could bring what the old one did. and i dont think it would pull the same ratings.
I think the new cast will be to phony…they will try to be more over the top! It just won’t happen. It might be good TV but I have a feeling this series will be gone rather quickly!
LIke every other successful show on MTV, they are going to kill it with overexposure. Sometimes less is more MTV!
Just call it Italian Real World
confusing.
well played, MTV. well played. it actually makes a lot of sense now. i hope this show replaces real world…. becoz that show needs to retire while it’s ahead.
They need to give it up!
