"Jersey Shore" wrapped up its second season on Thursday, October 21 but the producers are able to reveal about the next season for they had finished filming it. Co-creator and executive producer SallyAnn Salsano announced that season 3 will begin January 6 and it won't lack in hookups, breakups and, most of all, drama.

"All the relationships start taking a turn, some for the good, some for the bad. There's plenty of drama," Salsano told The Hollywood Reporter. "There are some new hook-ups both in the house and outside. The kids legitimately grow up and come into their own in front of your eyes. They're still the same cast, but I think how they deal with situations is completely different."

When asked whether Angelina would pop up again, she said no. The show however has hired one more guidette to replace Angelina, Snooki's best friend Deena. "She's a good time," Salsano described the newbie. "It was hard for her to come in because there was a pre-existing relationship between everyone. There was literally no shortage of drama."

No Angelina, there will be Ryder. "What would a season be without Ryder visiting?" Salsano said about the other pal of Snooki. After all, the EP admitted that the cast is irreplaceable. "No, I can't replace these kids. They're a special group and unique unto them," she gushed. "...There are so many opportunities they're getting from being on the show. The longer the show is on the air, the longer those opportunities will take place. So just keep the show on the air."
