It’s been 15 years since the original “Jersey Shore” crew first graced our screens, and the gang’s back to celebrate! MTV’s “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” returns for its eighth season on Thursday, May 29th at 8:00 PM ET/PT. This season offers a hefty dose of nostalgia with a reunion at the iconic Seaside Heights house, where it all began. But alongside the familiar stomping grounds, Season 8 brings fresh starts and new adventures for the beloved guidos and guidettes.
“Jersey Shore Family Vacation” picks up with the crew embarking on new phases of life. Angelina chases her pop star dreams, laying down tracks in the recording studio. Meanwhile, Deena tackles her anxieties head-on, joining the PTA. JWoww steps behind the camera, making her directorial debut in a horror flick, while Mike “The Situation” leads the group down South for some farm-flavored fun.
This season’s backdrop includes not just Seaside Heights, but also a trip to Jamaica with DJ Pauly D, where the crew explores Nikki’s roots. Back in the States, Snooki searches for her biological family and opens a store in Nashville. Amidst all the fun and chaos, a lingering question hangs in the air: will Ronnie and Sammi finally bury the hatchet? And as Sammi prepares for motherhood and her upcoming wedding, Vinny juggles a comedy tour, marathon training, and the ongoing quest for love.
The new season features the original “Jersey Shore” house, a key element in the show’s history and a guaranteed draw for longtime fans. This return to their roots sets the stage for a season full of reminiscing, but also underscores how much the cast has grown since their Seaside Heights days. Each cast member’s individual storyline adds a fresh dimension to the familiar “Jersey Shore” formula.
