Geordie Shore is reportedly poised for a major television comeback, with Paramount+ giving the green light to a fresh series that will feature two of its stars filming their births for the show. The beloved reality programme, which first launched in 2011, had faced persistent cancellation rumours as fans voiced concerns that "it's not the same anymore." However, viewing figures have continued to climb steadily, compelling Paramount+ to proceed with a new season.
Production Details and Cast Revelations
According to insider reports, production is scheduled to commence in the coming weeks. Sophie Kasaei, a prominent cast member, recently confirmed the filming plans in an Instagram video where she openly discussed the show's return with her hairdresser. She stated, "I am ready. I have got baby showers coming up, and there are exciting things coming up. I am going away with Geordie [Shore], so we're filming, filming..."
Birth Episodes and Babymoon Holiday
A source close to the production revealed to The Sun that the new series will include a babymoon-style holiday involving the entire cast, featuring pregnant stars Sophie Kasaei and Holly Hagan Blyth. The insider explained, "Filming starts in a couple of weeks. This series will see the whole gang go on a babymoon-style holiday with pregnant Sophie and Holly Hagan Blyth ahead of their new arrivals."
Both Sophie and Holly have made the decision to allow cameras to document parts of their births for the show. The source emphasised that they will retain control over how much is shown, stating, "They will be in control of how much is shown, but they want these special moments in their lives to be documented." This move marks a significant evolution for the series, which has traditionally focused on wild behaviour and romantic entanglements.
Viewer Figures and Network Confidence
Despite ongoing speculation about the show's future, Geordie Shore has maintained strong performance on both MTV and Paramount+. The insider noted, "Talk has dogged Geordie Shore in recent years that the show will be rested as they are all grown up now, but it continues to do really well on MTV, as well as Paramount+, so bosses wasted no time greenlighting it for another run." This confidence from network executives underscores the programme's enduring appeal and adaptability.
Evolution of the Show and Its Cast
Geordie Shore has undergone notable transformations over the years, with its original cast members maturing, starting families, and entering new life chapters. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, the show initially launched the television careers of personalities such as Charlotte Crosby, Vicky Pattison, and Holly Hagan. Modelled after the American reality series Jersey Shore, it was once renowned for its chaotic antics and complex relationships among co-stars.
The Daily Mirror has approached Paramount for official comment on the new series, but no response has been provided yet. Geordie Shore remains available for streaming on Paramount+, where fans can catch up on past seasons ahead of the upcoming release.
