The series was scheduled to return for its sixth season on October 6, 2013. However, it was announced that the Esquire Network would be taking over the Style Network rather than G4 as originally planned. The season later aired in countries where the Style Network still exists. Season 6 encompasses Olivia Blois Sharpe and Michelle DeCarlo as they pack their things and rent a summer house in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Tracy's wedding is also included. The show has now ended with Style Network being discontinued.

On August 26, 2014, Tracy "Dimarco" Maloney announced on her social networks that she was filming something for E! that was believed to be a spin-off show but ended up being for an E! True Hollywood Story special titled "Life After Reality" where she discussed her life now that Jerseylicious has ended.

Criticism of stereotypes

Jerseylicious has been criticized by the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for its portrayals of crude 'Jersey Shore' stereotypes about Italian Americans. According to the ONE VOICE website, Jerseylicious and other related programs including Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Mob Wives, My Big Friggin' Wedding, Carfellows and Married a Mobster "have replaced fictitious characters with real low lifes, buffoons, carfoni and bimbos in the proliferation of reality shows" and turned anti-Italianism into "a global business."

International broadcasts

Seasons 1-3 of the show aired on the Slovak TV WAU. In the United Kingdom, the show aired on ITVBe. Reruns of the show air also on E!.
