MTV has greenlit Teen Mom for a second season, Tony DiSanto, President of Programming for the network said last Friday.
The first season of reality spinoff followed the post-delivery lives of Maci, Amber, Farrah and Catelynn, whose pregnancies were documented on the docu-soap 16 and Pregnant. Last Tuesday night’s finale drew more than 3.6 million viewers.
“Season one moms give viewers a deeper look inside the lives of teenage parents. Told by each girl first hand, the series will depict the varied challenges young mothers face. From relationships to education to financial hardships, these young parents are learning to navigate life with adult responsibilities,” says MTV.
Teen Mom will return with eight all-new episodes in the Summer of 2010. The second season of 16 and Pregnant debuts Feb. 16 @ 10/9c on MTV.
