The reality TV series Jersey Shore was one of the biggest cultural phenomena of the early 2000s. The widely popular MTV show follows a group of young Italian-American adults from New Jersey living together in a vacation home – as the group navigates work, partying, relationships, and generally attempting to get along as a household.
What may surprise those who remember Jersey Shore — however — is that the original series was pretty short-lived. First airing in December 2009 and ending its run in December 2012, the series barely existed for three years. Its spin-off, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, premiered in 2018 and has so far amassed six full seasons.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation features the main cast of the original series, many of whom are now married and have children of their own. Some things, however, never change – the gang are all living under one roof again, this time on vacation in Miami Beach and a number of other popular locales.
Where is ‘Jersey Shore: Family Vacation’ available to watch?
The seventh season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation began on August 3rd, 2023. The season aired new episodes on a once-a-week basis. On network television, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation is available on Thursdays on the MTV channel at 8 p.m. ET. Viewers that have MTV Play can live stream each episode on the site.
For streaming, it’s a little more complicated. No platform has the entire series of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation available to stream. Paramount+ currently has the first five seasons, while several live TV streamers claim to have the series available through watching MTV. These streaming services all seem to have a DVR availability as well for fans to keep a temporary “collection” of episodes. Also, some services — such as Prime Video, or Apple TV — allow fans to rent every episode of the popular MTV series.
