Does Vinny Come Back in Season 5 of Jersey Shore
Vinny Guadagnino does not appear in Jersey Shore season 5. The main cast for the season that premiered on MTV in 2020 includes Pauly D, Vinny, Snooki, JWoww, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Sammi Sweetheart, Deena Nicole Cortese, and Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino, but Vinny's screen time is limited and he is not a central figure in the same way he was in earlier seasons.

MTV renewed Jersey Shore for additional seasons under the broader franchise that includes Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, where Vinny has appeared more prominently. As of the latest public data, the main Jersey Shore series has not released a new season beyond the original run and its spinoffs, and Vinny's involvement is tied to Family Vacation and other MTV programming rather than a new fifth season of the original series.

Vinny's Role in the Jersey Shore Franchise
Vinny Guadagnino was part of the original Jersey Shore cast that first aired in 2009 and became a central personality across multiple seasons. He is known for his fitness routines, family-oriented storylines, and interactions with cast members such as Snooki, Pauly D, and The Situation, which helped drive viewership for MTV during the peak of the franchise's popularity.

In the spinoff Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Vinny continues to appear and has been credited in episodes that track the cast's lives after the original series. Publicly available cast lists and episode guides show Vinny as a recurring or main cast member in Family Vacation, but he is not featured as a lead in any new standalone season of the original Jersey Shore numbering system.
