Jersey Shore Star Jenny ‘JWoww’ Farley Adds a Big Name to Nanny Cam

Jenni “JWoww” Farley is best known as one of the eight original fist-pumping cast members of the iconic “Jersey Shore.” But now — 15 years after making her reality TV debut — Farley is starting to make waves in Hollywood as an up-and-coming filmmaker.

Her latest project is the psychological thriller “Nanny Cam,” and it has just landed a major coup: Katie Cassidy has been cast as the lead. Here’s what we know so far.


Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley’s Horror Evolution

Farley’s transition from reality stardom to cinematic storytelling is proving to be a bold and ambitious leap. She made her directorial debut with “Devon,” a horror flick that was acquired by Cineverse and premiered on Screambox in November 2024.

“Devon” follows five friends who are recruited by a cryptic website to investigate an abandoned asylum tied to a girl’s unsolved disappearance, only to find themselves trapped in a deadly nightmare.

“I am thrilled to be diving into the horror space alongside Cineverse and Screambox who have the industry and fandom knowledge to see that ‘Devon’ lands in the hands of the right audience,” Farley said in a statement at the time, per Variety.

Cineverse’s acquisition of “Devon” marked a pivotal moment for Farley, opening a door to a new chapter in her career. “Nanny Cam” builds on that momentum, showcasing the “Jersey Shore” star’s growth as a storyteller and a director who is unafraid to tackle dark, complex themes.


The ‘Jersey Shore’ Star Is Carving Out a Niche

Following her successful directorial debut, Farley will be stepping behind the camera as writer-director for her second feature. This move allows her to continue carving out a niche in the horror and thriller genre.

“Nanny Cam” will explore the unsettling terrain of postpartum psychosis and demonic forces. It promises a chilling narrative centered on a new mother who is grappling with postpartum psychosis. Her reality starts to unravel as she suspects a malevolent entity is targeting her newborn.

Produced by Joe Barbagallo and Logan Hunter of BarBhouse Productions, “Nanny Cam” marks Farley’s latest effort to blend psychological tension with supernatural dread.


Katie Cassidy headlines Jenni “JWoww” Farley’s New Thriller

It was recently revealed that Cassidy, who is known for her roles in “Arrow” and “Supernatural,” will be taking on the lead role in “Nanny Cam.” This is a huge get for Farley, as Cassidy will be bringing her seasoned acting chops to Farley’s vision.

The cast is rounded out by Riley Dandy (Christmas Bloody Christmas), Myles Clohessy (Frontier Crucible), and Sol Miranda (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt).

A release date for “Nanny Cam” has not been announced, while “Devon” is now playing on Screambox. Meanwhile, Farley is set to return for the next season of “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” which premieres May 22 on MTV.
