EXCLUSIVE: Filming on MTV’s Floribama Shore was suspended for two weeks on Wednesday after a member of the production team tested positive for COVID-19. Although a fourth season renewal was not announced, production of new episodes was underway, which is not uncommon for a hit MTV reality series.
After the positive Covid-19 test, the cast and crew were quarantined for two weeks at Lake Havasu, AZ, where the new season is being filmed. (The first two seasons of the series were filmed in Panama City Beach, FL, on the Florida-Alabama border. The show moved north to St. Pete Beach, FL in season 3.
495 Productions, which produces Floribama Shore, is expected to adhere to local, state, and federal COVID-19 health and safety protocols that triggered production stoppage after testing positive.
Floribama Shore, a breakout when it launched in 2017, remains a solid rating performer for MTV. The third season premiered last November.
495 Productions Founder and CEO SallyAnn Salsano, who is behind MTV’s Jersey Shore franchise, and Drew Tappon are Executive Producers at Floribama Shore.
