Floribama Shore is an American reality television series that premiered on MTV on November 27, 2017, as a successor to Jersey Shore and as a counterpart to CMT's Party Down South.

Synopsis

The series is set in the Florida panhandle along the beach that stretches all the way to Alabama as it documents eight 20-somethings who live together during the summer on the Gulf Coast in Panama City Beach, Florida.[1]

Production

Filming primarily took place in Florida with the first two seasons of the show in Panama City Beach and the third in St. Pete Beach. Due to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the fourth season saw a location change to Missoula, Montana, Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Athens, Georgia.[2]

On January 8, 2018, MTV renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on July 9, 2018.[3][4] On June 11, 2019, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on November 14, 2019, with a location change to St. Pete Beach, Florida.[5][6] A fourth season was announced on January 26, 2021 and premiered on February 25, 2021.[7] The season saw three new locations for the series (Missoula, Montana, Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and Athens, Georgia). The second part of fourth season premiered on September 16, 2021.[8]

In November 2020, production of the fourth season halted for two weeks due to a production team member testing positive for COVID-19.[9]

In August 2022, it was reported that the series had been shelved indefinitely by the network.[10]

On May 2, 2025, cast member Kirk Medas died of complications with liver failure after a two-week battle with necrotizing pancreatitis.[11] He was 33 years old.[12]
