MTV confirms Jersey Shore: Family Vacation will end with an 18-episode farewell season kicking off May 7, bringing back all nine original cast members and promising weddings, pregnancies, and milestone moments that trace the series’ nearly two-decade run.

Fans can catch up on earlier episodes on Paramount+ and Pluto TV as the finale approaches.

Highlights of the final season include Angelina’s emotional journey, Deena’s PTA leadership in charity work, Pauly D expanding his record label and relationship, JWOWW directing her second film and turning 40, The Situation celebrating a decade of sobriety and launching a rehab center, Snooki balancing family life with business, Ronnie rejoining the group and addressing personal struggles, Sammi’s milestones including pregnancy, childbirth, and wedding, and Vinny pursuing standup and organizing a family Roast.

The cast released an Instagram video hinting they may continue the franchise on another network, signaling this isn’t the end.

Another teaser suggests the finale may function as an intermission rather than a definitive ending, keeping doors open for future appearances.

The farewell occurs amid Paramount’s merger talks with Warner Bros. Discovery, leaving open the possibility the franchise could resurface elsewhere.
