If you’re new to the franchise, start with the show that started it all: Jersey Shore.

What hasn’t changed is the cast’s decades-long friendship, which brings them back together for fun vacations, milestones, and more.
Ready for a new crew

Check out any of these spinoffs for a good time: Floribama Shore, Canada Shore, Geordie Shore, Acapulco Shore, or Mazatlán Shore. Get to know new cast members, new locations, and plenty of drama. What’s great about these shows is that they aren’t continuations of Jersey Shore; they’re standalone iterations waiting for you to start binge-watching.
How the Shore franchise expanded
Jersey Shore debuted back in 2009, and introduced the world to legendary roomies, trendy catchphrases, love-hate relationships, and crazy summers in Seaside Heights. This reality TV series had a massive cultural impact that eventually expanded past the Jersey coast to other U.S. locations and international cities.
Geordie Shore brought the party overseas in the U.K. in 2011, Acapulco Shore brought it to Mexico in 2014, Floribama Shore headed to Florida in 2017, Canada Shore headed up north in 2026, and Mazatlán Shore introduced fans to a new hot spot in Mexico in 2026. The franchise is not about continuing the original cast’s story, but rather sharing the same format in different places around the world. A group of strangers comes together under one roof to work, party, and vacation together during an unforgettable summer.
