Lovers of trash TV (this includes me) can celebrate today. MTV has renewed Floribama Shore for season two. The order is for 20 episodes which will begin airing this summer.
Floribama Shore — an offshoot MTV’s Shore franchise from Jersey Shore creator/executive producer SallyAnn Salsano — has been a strong ratings performer for the network. It is pacing as the number one original cable series in its Monday 10 PM time period and was MTV’s highest-rated new series premiere in over three years. The current season is averaging a 1.43 rating in Live + 3 among adults P18-34 and has helped MTV notch two consecutive quarters of year-to-year ratings growth. I’m somewhat ashamed to be a part of this data.
Set in the Florida Panhandle along the beach that stretches all the way to Alabama, MTV Floribama Shore is the story of eight young adults who come to spend the summer in the hottest beach town on the Gulf Coast, Panama City Beach, to party it up and get into as much debauchery as possible.
The series got pop culture approval when it was spoofed on Saturday Night Live just weeks into its run and the success of the show led MTV to revive the Jersey Shore with the original cast returning.
