The second season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation premiered on August 23, 2018, and followed the original cast as they navigated significant life milestones and personal drama across Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and the Jersey Shore. The season was split into two parts: the first focused on Ronnie meeting his new baby amid relationship turmoil, while the second half, which began July 11, 2019, centered on Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino’s court sentencing for tax evasion and his subsequent wedding to Lauren Pesce.
