Premise and format

The series brought together fourteen reality television personalities, described by Paramount+ as "the world's biggest reality superstars," from shows including Jersey Shore, Love Is Blind, RuPaul's Drag Race, Geordie Shore, Acapulco Shore, Rio Shore, and Bachelor in Paradise.1 They lived together at a shore house in the Canary Islands and competed in party-style challenges, with physical competitions and eliminations leading to a final showdown for the $150,000 grand prize.1 • 3

Named challenges included "Party Pong" and "Shots and Found".1 Season 1 episodes also featured recurring structures: "Paradise Games" that determined leading teams, "Exile Games" that sent losing players to a punishment exile, and partner swaps that reshuffled the teams mid-season.8 TV Insider's preview described the show as "drunk Survivor," noting that contestants faced physical challenges and elimination while living in a party environment.4

Alcohol was part of the setting but not unlimited. Contestant Angelina Pivarnick told TV Insider that the players were "all hungover every day" during physical challenges, but that alcohol intake was limited on the show, less than on Jersey Shore, because some participants had consumed too much and people were passing out.4

Cast

The season 1 contestants and their original shows included Angelina Pivarnick (Jersey Shore), Bethan Kershaw, Chloe Ferry, and James Tindale (Geordie Shore), Luis "Potro" Caballero and Karime Pindter (Acapulco Shore), Ricardo Salusse (Rio Shore), Johnny Middlebrooks and Trina Njoroge (Love Island), Joey Essex (Ex on the Beach), Blake Horstmann (Bachelor in Paradise), Giannina Gibelli (Love Is Blind), Marina Gregory (The Circle Brazil), and Vanessa "Vanjie" Mateo (RuPaul's Drag Race).3 • 5

Season 2 introduced a new group of contestants, including Chantelle Connelly, Chase DeMoor, Isa Castro, Marnie Simpson, Melinda Berry, Tamaris Sepulveda, Gui Evaristo, Fabio de Pasquale, Hati Suarez, Patryk Spiker, and Xavier Ulibarri.5 Season 2 cast members Tamaris Sepulveda and Xavier Ulibarri gave a preview interview to TV Insider teasing conflict and romance in the season.9

Production and filming

Paramount+ announced All Star Shore on February 15, 2022 as part of an expanded unscripted slate from MTV Entertainment Studios, describing it as a competition docu-series that would film at the "ultimate Shore house" in Gran Canaria, Spain, and positioning it alongside seven new international Shore franchise iterations such as Argentina Shore, Colombia Shore, and Australia Shore.10 Later Paramount+ materials placed the shore house in the Canary Islands generally.1

The fourteen season 1 cast members filmed at the shore house in the Canary Islands for two weeks in December 2021, returning home shortly before Christmas; the series premiered about six months later.3 The series was produced for Paramount+ by iTV Studios Netherlands in partnership with MTV Entertainment Studios.1
