If the 'Jersey Shore' Cast Isn’t Filming a Reunion Right Now, Then What Are They Doing?

This is going to be pretty hard to deny.

Jersey Shore Cast

The last time an episode of Jersey Shore graced our television sets was all the way back in 2012, but if you were to believe some recent reports and suggestive social media posts, it won’t be long until we get to see the cast reunited.

According to reports in NJ.com and the Asbury Park Press, cast members of the reality show, including Snooki and JWoww, were spotted around Point Pleasant Beach and Asbury Park throughout the past month alongside camera crews. A few business owners in the area also reported run-ins with the cast.

For example, Toby Wolf, director of marketing for Jenkinson’s Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, told the Asbury Park Press that the Jersey Shore cast were in the area “for a couple hours and played boardwalk games” on June 16. Wolf also claims that the cast had a “low-key dinner” at Jenkinson’s Pavilion Restaurant.

Peter Mantas, entertainment director of Langosta Lounge, an Asbury Park boardwalk restaurant, says denied a producer’s request to film at the Langosta Lounge. “They called 10 days before they wanted to film and we said no freaking way, it’ll be bad publicity,” Mantas said. “Bring those meatheads to the Langosta Lounge? No way.”

Finally, Asbury Park Mayor John Moor also seemed to confirm that something is happening. Producers for the show reportedly applied for a permit to film on the boardwalk and on the beach, and Moor confirmed that “they applied under ‘Roadtrip Reunion’” and “they paid their fees and everything worked out fine.”

If all of this talk is not enough to convince you, take a peek at the cast members’ social media feeds.

If we are to take The Situation’s Instagram at face value, dude’s definitely excited for something. The following two posts in particular sure seem like the opposite of what someone who wanted to deny a reunion would post.

Snooki has taken a less direct but equally enticing approach. She's taken to posting several photos to her Instagram of her fellow cast members. Why else would they all be reunited again?

Snooki also recently told E! News that she would be down to do a Jersey Shore reunion, just “not for a long time because I have kids. Like for a week.” This response is hard to understand—does it mean that those waiting Jersey Shore reunion would need to wait only a week? Or would Snooki jump at the chance if she had around a week’s head start?—and E! provided no clarification.

The last piece of this puzzle involves eyewitness accounts of New Jersey residents who took to Twitter to announce that they’d seen the cast filming in public with their very eyes.

I just saw on @snooki snapchat jwoww, mike, pauly, and sammi sweetheart on the boardwalk and I've never been happier.

Despite all of this suggestive evidence, there have been no concrete details regarding any upcoming Jersey Shore projects, so we don’t know what the cast have been filming along the boardwalk, what it might be for, or even how and where it will be aired. This last point is especially interesting, because the one thing we do know is that whatever the Jersey Shore cast and producers are working on will not air on MTV. Although the original Jersey Shore series aired on MTV for four years, Buzzfeed reports that “MTV has denied any involvement in the filming” and an MTV representative told the Asbury Park Press that the production is not an ‘MTV project.’”
