Sixteen years ago, MTV introduced us to a group of young mothers facing the challenges of parenthood head-on. Now, “Teen Mom” returns with “The Next Chapter,” premiering Thursday, January 30th at 8PM ET/PT on MTV, offering a look at how these families have grown and changed. Join Amber, Ashley, Briana, Catelynn, Cheyenne, Jade, Leah, Maci, and Mackenzie as they continue to write their stories.
This season offers a unique perspective on the relentless march of time. Leah, Maci, and Amber now find themselves raising children the same age they were at the series’ start. This parallel offers a chance for reflection, and perhaps a deeper understanding of their own early experiences as young mothers. Catelynn’s story takes a different path, exploring the often-unspoken complexities of adoption as her relationship with her daughter enters a new phase.
“The Next Chapter” doesn’t shy away from the everyday realities of family life. We’ll see the moms tackling driving lessons, college applications, and the sometimes-awkward conversations about safe sex. Cheyenne and Mackenzie contemplate adding to their families, while Briana focuses on preventing future pregnancies. Jade works on setting healthy boundaries with her family, and Ashley seeks closure and a fresh start after a difficult period.
“Teen Mom: The Next Chapter” premieres on MTV Thursday, January 30th at 8PM ET/PT. Catch up on the first season on Paramount+. The series is executive produced for MTV by Morgan J. Freeman, Dia Sokol Savage, and Larry Musnik.
