Party Down South (also known as The Dirty South and Dirty South) was an American reality television series that premiered January 16, 2014, on CMT. The series was created by Jersey Shore creator SallyAnn Salsano and 495 Productions, and has thus far been set in five different locations: Murrells Inlet, South Carolina; Athens, Georgia; Savannah, Georgia; Biloxi, Mississippi; and St. Petersburg, Florida. The latter two locations have served as the setting for Party Down South and the spinoff series Party Down South 2.
Party Down South depicts eight adults who are put together in a house for the summer. In October 2014, Party Down South was announced as CMT's highest-rated show, averaging over 930,000 viewers, which led to the making of two seasons of the spinoff show Party Down South 2.
On January 7, 2016, CMT announced that the fifth season, featuring the original Party Down South cast, will be the final season. The final season premiered on January 28, 2016, and concluded on April 14, 2016.
On March 5, 2013, it was announced during CMT's annual presentation attended by Viacom's top executives in New York City that CMT would be airing several new shows, including The Dirty South, that would premiere in late 2013. On July 27, 2013, WBTW announced that The Dirty South would be filmed in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Some locals are against the idea, as the name "Dirty South" does not represent the area and could hurt the areas reputation, but others are in favor of the show or say they will have an open mind. The series title was later changed to its current name, Party Down South.
Season one of Party Down South was filmed in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. In July 2013, the owner of Drunken Jack's, Al Hitchcock, was approached by 495 Productions about filming in his restaurant. Hitchcock stated that he was not opposed to the idea and thinks it would be good for the area. He consequently allowed crews inside his restaurant and placed a bid to serve as the catering company for the more than 100 crew and cast members while they were in town.
