MTV Reality Shores Franchise Heads to Canada

Casting is now open for the first-ever Canadian iteration of the hit reality Shores franchise, tentatively titled Canada Shore.

The series for Paramount+ in Canada is set to film in summer 2025 and will be produced by Canada’s Insight Productions. 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, VP 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, executive VP of 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 (w.t.) 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!”
