"MTV FLORIBAMA SHORE" RETURNS WITH ITS HIGHEST RATED EPISODE EVER

NEARLY ONE MILLION VIEWERS TUNED IN FOR THE SEASON TWO PREMIERE

NEW YORK, NY (July 10, 2018) - "MTV Floribama Shore" returned last night with a whopping 1.05 rating (P18-34) up +12% from the series premiere (.94) and +36% from the season one average (.77). Additionally, nearly one million total viewers (P2+) tuned in which was up +16% from the series premiere and up +34% from the season one average.

"MTV Floribama Shore" features original cast members Jeremiah Buoni, Codi Butts, Kortni Gilson, Aimee Hall, Kirk Medas, Nilsa Prowant, Candace Rice and Gus Smyrnios. The second season brings our favorite southerners back to Panama City Beach for Spring Break to see what life's next chapter holds for them.

In next week's episode titled, "Dirty But Worth It," the bond between the roommates is slow to gel when harsh words open old wounds between Jeremiah and Codi. While another prank puts the housemates on high alert, Gus puts his new play boy attitude on display and Nilsa likes what she sees.

The party continues at @FloribamaShore all season long on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

495 Productions Founder and CEO SallyAnn Salsano and Drew Tappon serve as Executive Producers for "MTV Floribama Shore." Nina L. Diaz and Jackie French serve as Executive producers for MTV.
