When does Jersey Shore Season 5 start? Details on when to set your DVR!

New details have been leaked about when Jersey Shore Season 5 will start. The fifth season of the show wrapped production in Seaside Heights in August, but according to sources Jersey Shore Season 5 will premiere on Thursday, February 9, 2012. 

MTV has ordered 13 episodes of the show for the fifth season which sets up the Jersey Shore Season 5 finale to air on May 10, 2012.  The Jersey Shore 5 premiere and finale dates mean MTV's most successful series ever will span two ratings periods commonly called 'sweeps.'

Jersey Shore Seasons 1 and 3 were also winter series but started in December and January respectively. With the Jersey Shore Season 5 beginning the second week in February it means there will be 15 weeks (about 4 months) between the Jersey Shore Season 4 finale on October 20, 2011 and the Jersey Shore Season 5 premiere.

An MTV spokesperson did not immediately respond when asked for more information about when Jersey Shore Season 5 will start.
