Canada's new 'Jersey Shore' spinoff premieres this week and here's a breakdown of the cast
If you're also in a constant state of missing the heyday of reality T.V. then there might be something to fill that void coming this week.
A Canadian version of the show that gave us "GTL" and "cabs are here!" is airing on January 22, and partiers from coast to coast are joining the house as roommates. While nothing can truly replace the magic of the original cast, it's a wild group of Canadians in Kelowna partying together — so it's bound to be entertaining at the very least.
Also, we get an extra hit of nostalgia because Snooki is also going back to the (Canada) shore!
If you want to see who's representing your province/city/small town in Canada — here's the cast of Canada Shore, airing on Paramount+ on January 22, 2026.

Maritimers listen up, because according to Ryleigh's Instagram bio, she's a StFX Alumni who lives in Halifax. She's a small-town girl, though, from Bridgewater, and the press release for the show says she's "here to bring the Scotian energy."
