MTV says that Season 4 of 'Teen Mom' will be the show's last

The upcoming fourth season of Teen Mom, which features the show’s original four castmembers, all of whom were introduced on 16 and Pregnant, will wrap up the narrative arc of those ladies’ journeys.

“Season 4 will be the final season of Teen Mom with Maci, Catelynn, Amber and Farrah,” MTV told Us Weekly. “They will continue to be a part of our MTV family, and we’re thankful to these brave young women for sharing their stories and helping to make a positive impact on teen pregnancy prevention.”

It’s unclear whether star Amber Portwood’s very public legal issues had anything to do with MTV’s decision, or if the network was just trying to clear their schedule for a new crop of Teen Mom girls. The channel will still produce Teen Mom 3, with girls cast from the fourth season of 16 and Pregnant, which is about to begin. Teen Mom 2 also remains on MTV’s slate.

What do you think? Sad to see the original cast go?
