Although MTV did not offer the show's premise, Radar Online reported back in September that the spin-off would focus on the 28-year-old's day job as a DJ.
This year, DelVecchio was nominated for America's Best DJ and released his first single "Beat Dat Beat" on the Jersey Shore soundtrack.
Jersey Shore has been a ratings smash for MTV, hitting a series-high of 6.7 million viewers on Sept. 30 and becoming the highest-rated MTV series ever. The show returns for the second half of Season 2 on Thursday, Jan. 6 at 10/9c.
