#FIRSTLOOK: SNOOKI DEBUTS ON “CANADA SHORE” THIS WEEK

With four episodes of CANADA SHORE now available globally on Paramount+, and new episodes dropping every Thursday, fans are officially “obsessed”. In this week’s highly anticipated new episode available today, Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi arrives in Kelowna, B.C. and heads straight to the CANADA SHORE crib, where she parties, hands out job duties and shares her ‘Shore’ expertise with the new cast.

Paramount+ also announced today that a new bonus CANADA SHORE scene is now available on P+, with additional scenes dropping on the service weekly. First up, it’s a bowling bonanza for the roomies at local hot spot, BNA Bowl Kelowna – and it’s no surprise things get a little bit rude and a whole lot rowdy.

CANADA SHORE is the first-ever Canadian edition of the global MTV “Shore” phenomenon. Produced by Insight Productions (A Blue Ant Studios Company) and filmed last summer on the shores of Kelowna, British Columbia, the series brings together ten bold and unapologetic Canadian singles for a whirlwind season of romance, friendships, and full-throttle fun.

The original series, JERSEY SHORE, was a pioneering cultural phenomenon that Canadians embraced. It launched the career of several fan-favourite, party-going housemates, including Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino; Paul DelVecchio a.k.a DJ Pauly D; Jenni “JWOWW” Farley; Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi; Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola; 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.

Paramount+ in Canada is the go-to destination for all seasons of JERSEY SHORE and JERSEY SHORE FAMILY VACATION and is the home to AUSSIE SHORE and ACAPULCO SHORE. And new to the service last month, fans can binge all their favourite ”Shore” shows including; GEORDIE SHORE (Seasons 1-5) and DOUBLE SHOT AT LOVE (Seasons 1-3) with FLORIBAMA SHORE (Seasons 1-4), BUCKHEAD SHORE (Season 1) and SNOOKI & JWOWW (Seasons 1-4).

#FIRSTLOOK: SNOOKI JOINS CAST OF “CANADA SHORE” ON PARAMOUNT+

Paramount+ announced today that the legendary JERSEY SHORE original cast member Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi will bring her small stature and big personality to the Shore house, making several powerhouse guest appearances during the first season of CANADA SHORE, premiering January 22, 2026 on Paramount+ in all markets globally. Bringing her signature sparkle to the CANADA SHORE crib, she parties, hands out job duties and shares her ‘Shore’ expertise with the new cast across several episodes.

Paramount+ also announced today the release of the can’t miss “This Season On” CANADA SHORE Trailer HERE:

“I cannot wait for you guys to see me drop in on ten crazy Canadians as they party their way through the summer!” – Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi

And when Snooki is not around, Kelowna’s own Dane Rupert (aka the Prince of Kelowna) will serve as Snooki’s eyes and ears on the ground, putting the roomies to work and keeping the chaos in check (or not!).

Just like the original JERSEY SHORE series, CANADA SHORE brings together 10 larger-than-life roommates from coast to coast to coast onto the sun-soaked shores of Kelowna, B.C. They’re ready to party, flirt, and turn every night into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. But between all the hookups and hangovers, this wild crew becomes a family that laughs together, fights together, and supports each other.

Chosen from a nationwide casting call last spring and fresh off being introduced to Canada after filming this past summer in Kelowna, B.C. – this crew is ready for their debut.
