Somehow, someway, the world has found itself in the following #situation: Jersey Shore is returning to television.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the stars of the MTV reality show, which ran from 2009 to 2012, will be returning to television screens for a special comeback docuseries titled, Reunion Road Trip.

And we have just one question: Why oh why this happening?!

Are our lives really missing the beachfront hook-ups, bar-hopping antics, and stunning boardwalk scenery that Jersey Shore blessed us with for six long seasons? Do we truly need to rehear those constant reminders to GTL: gym, tan, laundry? Probably not. But welcome to 2017.

The show, which is currently in development at E!, will reportedly feature all your favorite partiers reliving the good times they've shared on the shore. In addition to following the cast as they hit up their old stomping grounds together, Jersey Shore's television return will also include a reunion episode — which will serve as the series pilot — that will catch up fans with what the former shore-mates have been up to since the show wrapped.

Rumors of a Jersey Shore reunion have been circulating for the past few weeks after resident meatball, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, shared photos of a mini cast reunion on Snapchat and earlier this week the show's own Vinny Guadagnino asked his Twitter followers if anyone wanted to see a reunion.

Over 110,000 people retweeted Guadagnino's tweet. And those fans are in luck because, well, here we are.

Though THR says no other casts have been lined up for the project yet, producers are reportedly exploring both unscripted and scripted series casts if future episodes commence.
