The third season of MTV's hit reality show will premiere Jan. 5, co-creator and executive producer SallyAnn Salsano reveals, and it will be filled with hookups, breakups and plenty of drama.
"All the relationships start taking a turn, some for the good, some for the bad. There's plenty of drama," Salsano told The Hollywood Reporter. "There are some new hook-ups both in the house and outside. The kids legitimately grow up and come into their own in front of your eyes. They're still the same cast, but I think how they deal with situations is completely different."
She also confirms that Angelina will not be returning, but a new "Shore"-mate will be joining the cast - Nicole "Snooki" Pollizzi's friend Deena.
"She's a good time," Salsano says of the new cast member. "It was hard for her to come in because there was a pre-existing relationship between everyone. There was literally no shortage of drama."
Snooki's friend Ryder, who made an appearance this season, will also be back for a visit.
Salsano also talked about the possibility of "Shore" spinoffs ("I don't know if there's anything official") and having the show parodied on a recent episode of "South Park."
"It completely felt surreal. I'm a huge fan of "South Park" and I was just watching the show going, "Is this really happening?" she said. "Where most people dream of an Emmy, for me I was like, "Shore" is on the cover on Star magazine and an episode of "South Park." For me, there is no better. Emmy Shmemmy."
"Even Snooki was like -- she gets the joke," she continued. "She always takes it really well. She was like, "This is flattering ... I mean, sort of."
