MTV has renewed "Jersey Shore" for another season.
Despite sagging ratings during its fifth season, the cable network announced on Monday that it has given the reality series another crack at causing mayhem at The Shore. Production begins in Seaside Heights, N.J. this summer.
According to the announcement, all the cast members will return for Season 6.
While the ratings had been steadily decreasing this season, MTV is comfortable with its standing as the No. 1 cable series for the 12-34 demo this year and it's still the No. 1 series on the network.
The season averaged a 7.4 rating with that demo and averaged 7.9 million total viewers per episode. That's a slight increase over its Italy season, which averaged 7.6 million viewers.
Clearly, the network is banking on the viewer interest in how it will handle Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s pregnancy and engagement.
Not to mention, she and cast mate Jenni “JWoww” Farley are currently working on a spinoff.
And DJ Pauly Delvechio’s spinoff series, "The Pauly D Project", premiers March 29.
Will the dynamic in the house change?
