Bosses aren't born, they're "Made in Staten Island"

MTV's new docuseries executive produced by "Mob Wives" star Karen Gravano premieres Monday, January 14th

New York, NY (December 18, 2018) - Staten Island was home to New York's most notorious mafia families. Now, a new crop of hustlers has emerged in MTV's "Made in Staten Island," premiering Monday, January 14th at 10:00PM ET/PT. The coming-of-age series follows eight Staten Islanders as they battle each other, and the odds, to step out from the shadows and change the reputation of the island. These friends will either choose wisely, or fall prey to the mistakes of past generations.

Meet the Cast:

· Karina (@karinaaseabrook) has a mafia bloodline and attitude to match. Luckily, she has the guidance of her grandfather, Sammy 'The Bull' Gravano.

· Paulie (@pauliefusco) is a true hustler always striving for the top. His girlfriend, Karina, has kept him out of the street life.

· Kayla(@kayla.gonzalezz) is the muscle of the crew. She has a reputation for never backing down from a good Staten Island fight.

· Dennie (@dennieaugustine) is the "Godmutha" of the circle. She has thick skin, and learned to use her wit to get out of any situation.

· Christian "C.P." (@718cp) is a lover and a fighter. He has a big heart and swag that makes all the girls swoon.

· Taylor (@taylorotoolee) is a "guy's girl" with no tolerance for attitude or disrespect.

· Joe (@joeotoole) is the "charmer of the South Shore" who is constantly tempted by the fast money from the streets.
