Jonathan P. Miller reports that an all-new reality series from Paramount+ is bringing Jersey Shore energy to Canadian sands. Canada Shore centers on 10 strangers picked through a nationwide casting call and packed into a single beach house for a summer of non-stop partying.
The group-Bauer, Christopher, Emmett, Emmy, Ethan, Gizelle, Isaiah, Keyaira, Lila and Ryleigh-ranges in age from 20 to 26. Cameras follow every hookup, hangover and blow-up as the cast becomes what the streamer bills as “a family that laughs together, fights together, and supports each other.”
Snooki’s Surprise Entrance
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi arrives unannounced in the first episode, leaving the roommates stunned. “You guys are too grown for this,” she scolds after watching their antics. “This is high school.”
While in Kelowna, the Jersey Shore veteran:
- Parties with the cast
- Assigns house chores
- Shares lessons from her own reality-TV past
“I cannot wait for you guys to see me drop in on ten crazy Canadians as they party their way through the summer!” she said in a press release.
Meet the Cast
The 10 new faces come from across Canada. In the trailer, Keyaira warns: “The second these people get one drop of liquor, they’re like f—— wild animals.”
Bauer describes the group’s bond as both close and fractured. “It’s a pile of ups and downs,” he says. “We’re family, but we’re divided.”
When Snooki isn’t on site, Kelowna native Dane Rupert acts as her “eyes and ears,” putting the roommates to work and, according to the release, attempting to “keep the chaos in check (or not!).”
