Posted on September 5, 2021 by Tom Castaneda

Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi is taking a full-time vacation…

The 33-year-old Chilean American television personality will return as a full-fledged cast member for Season 5 of Jersey Shore Family Vacation, which has been renewed by MTV. Snooki only recurred in Season 4.

News of a renewal came as Jersey Shore Family Vacation wrapped up its fourth season tonight.

Per MTV, Jersey Shore Family Vacation claimed the No. 1 spot across key demos in its time period and earned a 9% L+3 share from the previous season.

Season 4 saw the roommates take over an entire resort and live in their very own COVID-19 bubble. The housemates for season four were Deena Nicole Cortese, Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio,” Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Angelina Pivarnick, and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.

In the Season 4 finale, Snooki had to clean up the mess made by Dren as the trip comes to an end. Meanwhile, Mike plans a second gender reveal even though everyone knows he’s having a boy. But, the real surprise is what happens when Angelina “accidentally” shoots off a gender reveal powder cannon in her husband’s face.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation is produced by SallyAnn Salsano and Frank Miccolis for 495 Productions. Jacquelyn French serves as executive producer for MTV.
