MTV just released the trailer for its latest series, Slednecks.
MTV To Launch 'Buckwild'-Inspired Series In Alaska
Following in the footsteps of shows like Jersey Shore and Buckwild, Slednecks features a group of young people, partying and enjoying life in the wildest of ways, this time in Alaska.
"Slednecks, a half-hour comedy docu-series, follows a close group of outgoing and adventurous friends living in rural Wasilla, Alaska," E! News reported on Oct. 2. "From polar bear plunges to airboating on ice, glacier parties to human catapulting(?!), there's nothing that these friends won't try."
'Buckwild' Comes To An End After Shain Gandee's Death
In April 2013, following the death of Buckwild star Shain Gandee, who died tragically in a car after a late night mudding incident, MTV announced the series would come to an end after just one season. In the weeks that followed, word hit the web, claiming one of the companies behind Buckwild had gone to Alaska, where they intended to relaunch the series under a different name.
