LOS ANGELES — “Jersey Shore” without New Jersey? Forgetaboutit.

While the cast of the popular MTV reality TV series may have begun filming the second season in Miami, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and company will indeed return to the Jersey Shore for the remainder of production this summer, MTV spokeswoman Emily Yeomans said Thursday. The show follows the boozy exploits of hard-partying twentysomethings at a shore house.

The original eight “Jersey Shore” cast members — Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Vinny Guadagnino and Angelina Pivarnick — will return to pump their fists, but a casting notice posted Tuesday was looking for possible new additions to the cast.

The second season is scheduled to premiere July 29.
