Get ready, Canada “it's t-shirt time”! Paramount+ announced today that casting is now open for the first-ever Canadian iteration of the smash-hit, international MTV reality “Shores” franchise: CANADA SHORE (working title). The series is set to film in Summer 2025 and will be produced by Canada’s Insight Productions.
Paramount+ in Canada is looking for ten fresh-faced, unapologetically wild Canadian singletons who embody the “Shores” spirit. Together, they’ll unite to make one big, imperfect family, ready to experience the most unforgettable, unfiltered summer of their lives. Nationwide casting is now open, and Canadians can apply HERE until April 30th.
The original series, JERSEY SHORE, was a pioneering cultural phenomenon that Canadians embraced. It launched the career of several fan-favorite, party-going housemates, including Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino; Paul DelVecchio a.k.a DJ Pauly D; Jenni “JWOWW” Farley; Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi; Sammi “Sweetheart” Gia; Deanna Cortese; Ronnie Ortiz-Magro; Angelina Pivarnick; and Vinny Guadagnino. Including the new Canadian version, the format has now spawned 18 spin-offs, with recent additions being AUSSIE SHORE and FRENCHIE SHORE.
"Canadians have loved this fun, shocking, and authentic format since JERSEY SHORE first debuted in 2009," said Vanessa Case, Vice President of Content at Paramount+ and Pluto TV Canada. "We’re confident audiences will embrace this Canadian iteration, with its larger-than-life personalities, raw drama, and those unforgettable moments that define what becoming a Shore family is all about.”
Kelly Bradshaw, EVP, MTV Entertainment Group added: “We are incredibly proud of how the “Shores” franchise continues to expand around the world. Each new series is a testament to this tried-and-true format’s global appeal, inviting new, local viewers into the “Shores” universe whilst enticing long-standing fans back for a fresh take on it – and we’re sure Canada won’t disappoint.”
“Canadians may have a reputation for being polite, but we can be just as feisty, loud, dramatic, and unapologetic as anyone else,” said Erin Brock, showrunner on Canada Shore (wt) and Co-Chief Content Officer at Insight Productions. “And Insight is on the hunt for the wildest, most outrageous young Canadians who want to party with their future chosen family this summer. We’re beyond excited to team up with Paramount+ and can’t wait to introduce Shore fans worldwide to a bold new crew!”
