After months of rumors about possible spin-offs, looks like Jersey Shore‘s Pauly D, a.k.a. Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, is the first cast member to actually be getting his own show!
Chris Linn, MTV Executive Vice President of Programming, said yesterday that MTV has in fact closed a series option deal with Pauly to pick up his pilot which has already been shot. Linn says viewers are “curious about his life away from the shore.”
Wait – that means Pauly D has a life away from the shore?!
According to the release announcing the spin-off, MTV feels that Pauly has “distinguished himself on-screen as the fun-loving, well-coiffed and dependable guy you can’t help but want to hang out with and we know viewers are curious about his life away from the shore.”
Rumor has it that more Jersey Shore cast members will be getting their own shows as well – I will keep you posted as each rumor becomes fact or debunked!
