into their homes and lives when they make their debut with the all new
reality series THE SORRENTINOS, premiering Tuesday, July 15 at 10:00 PM,

lives the same way they enjoy their Italian food -- al dente and
authentic.

The eight 30-minute episodes will follow the Sorrentino family—Mike
(youngest brother), Linda (mother), Marc (middle brother), Melissa
(sister) and Frank (older brother) as they embark on life after reality
in their hometown of Howell, New Jersey. TVGN released an extended
first-look video clip of THE SORRENTINOS online at: http://on.fb.me/1uaPhkj.
THE SORRENTINOS spotlights one of world's biggest reality TV stars in
the aftermath of fame and scrutiny. Mike is sober, finished with Jersey
Shore, taking a serious stab at an acting career and also looking to
set the record straight once and for all about who he really is. The
stakes are high. Not many get a second chance for a first impression and
to add to the mix, Mike’s loving but quirky family are along for the
ride.
The series will follow the entire Sorrentino family who are in the midst
of major life changes. Melissa, Mike’s sister and the glue that holds
the family together, is engaged and preparing for a wedding. She also is
tasked with helping her mom, fondly referred to as “Peaches,” find a man
worthy of her time as Melissa helps her traverse the scary world of
dating. Middle brother Marc is pursuing his passion of music trying to
make it to the top as DJ and at the same time, making a career for
himself with the families tanning business which he runs. While Frank,
the eldest, is revisiting acting, something he loved and had success at
as a child. The only things bigger than the Sorrentino’s dreams, are
their hearts and love for one another. Bonds like these either make you
or break you because family, at the end of the day, is everything.
THE SORRENTINOS is produced by Seth and Julie Jarrett of Jarrett
Creative.
