MTV has determined that Newcastle, England, is the first city worthy of hosting a Jersey Shore spinoff show.
Kerry Taylor, acting SVP and director of television at MTV Networks UK & Ireland, said: "It's fantastic that the UK is going to be the first international MTV territory to take inspiration from the cultural phenomenon that is Jersey Shore and reimagine it for a UK audience.
"Newcastle is an amazing city with a culture and ethos of its own. So while the location and cast will of course be new, viewers will absolutely relate to their trials and tribulations and ultimately welcome them into their homes, every week."
