Slednecks is an Americanreality television series about a group of friends living inWasilla, Alaska that premiered onMTV on October 30, 2014.[2] The show's title is borrowed from a slang term referring to "rednecks" who live in snowy climes, like Alaska. The series has the same basic premise asBuckwild, the popular show that precededSlednecks on Thursday nights (but was canceled after one of its cast members died).Slednecks was cancelled after one season due to low ratings.
Slednecks is a documentary series that follows a group of friends living in the "modern-day Wild Wild West of Alaska".[3]
When it was announced on April 9, 2013, that MTV had chosen to cancelBuckwild, it was reported that executive producer J.P. Williams from Parallel Entertainment stated that his company would like to revive the series in another location with a new cast.[4][5][6][7]
On April 24, 2014,Slednecks was announced.[8] According to MTV President Stephen Friedman, the series set inAlaska "will not be a version of 'Buckwild' in a different setting", but likeJersey Shore andLaguna Beach: The Real Orange County will "be focused on the unusual experiences of a different group of people".[9]
On December 30, 2014 the cast announced via Twitter that the show had been canceled.[10]
