Jersey Shore is typically on a six week production schedule, but it's been reported that the cast won't film the entire Jersey Shore Season 4 in Italy, instead returning to Seaside Heights to finish the season (and possibly the series for good).

Several of the Jersey Shore stars have events booked in June, hinting that production on Jersey Shore 4 may be shorter than previous seasons. Pauly D is booked at two events the weekend of June 24 at the Palms Casino Resort where he's the new resident DJ. Ronnie is slated to make a court appearance sometime in June related to his filing with a first time offenders program.

Production on Jersey Shore Season 4 was originally scheduled to begin in April, but a reported contract hold out by some members of the cast delayed production by several weeks.

MTV has not yet announced when Jersey Shore Season 4 will premiere, but the network has confirmed it will be sometime in 2011.
