MTV Renews 'Jersey Shore' For Season 6

MTV has renewed its popular reality series 'Jersey Shore' for a sixth season.

The current fifth season just wrapped with its finale on March 15. This past season has seen a significant decrease in viewership for the once huge series. To show the contrast: Season four in Florence, Italy premiered to over eight million viewers and the finale was watched by over six million. This past season premiered to over seven million and the finale was only able to attract just under five million viewers.

MTV has already greenlit two spin off series, one for Pauly D and one for both Snooki and J-Woww. Many speculated with the spin offs, the original series would be over but MTV just greenlit a sixth season to go into production this summer in Seaside Heights.

MTV may be interested in seeing how Snooki's pregnancy will impact the show this summer and could peek interest for fans of the series who found this past season barely watchable. No word whether or not season six will be its last.

Here is the break down of the last five aired episodes:
Episode 07 - Love at the Jersey Shore - February 16 - 5.35 million viewers
Episode 08 - Sharp Objects - February 23 - 5.23 million viewers
Episode 09 - The Truth Will Set You Free - March 1 - 5.30 million viewers
Episode 10 - One Meatball Stands Alone - March 8 - 4.84 million viewers
Episode 11 - We Are Family - March 15 - 4.99 million viewers
