Slednecks is an American reality television series about a group of friends living in Wasilla, Alaska that premiered on MTV 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 as Buckwild , the popular show that preceded Slednecks on Thursday nights (but was canceled after one of its cast members died). Slednecks was cancelled after one season due to low ratings.
