MTV is announcing the production of two substantial spin-offs from Geordie Shore, a decision that has left the cast disgruntled
In a surprising turn of events, MTV has decided not to proceed with two planned spin-offs for Geordie Shore, leaving cast members and fans disappointed. The shows, which were set to feature cast members Kyle Christie and Marnie Simpson, were expected to offer a deeper look into their lives, with Kyle's lavish wedding in Rome and Marnie's motherhood journey being the main focus.
The cancellations come as a blow to the cast, who had cleared their schedules and were getting paid more for these shows. The first spin-off was initially going to feature in the main series itself, but there was so much drama from filming that producers couldn't squeeze it all into the regular run. The first spin-off was to focus on Kyle's wedding, while a second spin-off was planned to follow Marnie as she welcomed her third child later this year.
The news of the cancellations has left the cast feeling angry, as they had been looking forward to these opportunities. Filming for the shows had started, and cast members had been booked for all filming dates. The reasons for the cancellations remain unclear, with MTV yet to comment on the matter.
The Geordie Shore family is not letting this setback dampen their spirits, however. Abbie Holborn will introduce her TOWIE star boyfriend, Jack Rigden, to the group as he makes his reality TV comeback after eight years. The next full-length series of Geordie Shore is expected to launch in January 2026, with spin-offs likely to follow soon after.
In addition to the new series, viewers can look forward to seeing original show star Gaz Beadle make a surprise comeback after years of shunning big-money offers to make a return. The cast jetted off to Portugal last month to film the 26th series of the show, and there's no doubt that it will be filled with drama and excitement.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Crosby was handed her own full-length spin-off show entitled, Charlotte's New Baby, which followed her as she welcomed her second child, Pixi, with her partner Jake Ankers. Nathan Henry also launched his own solo show, Nathan & Dad, which followed him as he dealt with his dad's cancer diagnosis.
While the cancellations of the spin-offs may have left a sour taste in the mouths of some fans, the Geordie Shore family continues to provide entertainment and drama in their main series. As always, viewers can expect to see their favourite cast members in action, with the next series promising to be a rollercoaster ride of emotions.

The cancellations of the spin-offs featuring Kyle Christie and Marnie Simpson have left the Geordie Shore family searching for other means of entertainment and drama, as these shows were anticipated to offer a deeper look into their personal lives. Despite the setback, viewers can expect laughter and excitement in the upcoming full-length series of Geordie Shore, scheduled to launch in January 2026, with new cast members and original show stars gracing the screen.
