Grab a bookmark: Teen Mom: The Next Chapter is officially “on pause.”
The news about the MTV series, which is currently in its second season, was revealed this week by cast member Cory Wharton, who joined the Teen Mom franchise in 2018 with Cheyenne Floyd, the mother of his eldest daughter.
On Thursday, Cory took to social media to address the future of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter,’ claiming that, while he didn’t want to say anything or even “put the bad energy out there,” the cast is “waiting to get green lit” for the next season.
“ … Which means, we’re waiting to let the higher ups figure out all what they gotta do and tell us, ‘Hey, we’re filming again,’” he explained in the video.
Cory went on to say that seeing fellow cast members Mackenzie McKee and Briana DeJesus on an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show this week made him question the future of ‘Teen mom’ even more.
As The Ashley previously told you, Mackenzie and Briana– two of the current cast members on ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’– appeared on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ Monday, during which Mackenzie announced that she and fiancé Khesanio Hall are expecting twins and Briana opened up about her upbringing and her relationship with mom Roxanne.
According to Cory, Mackenzie’s pregnancy “is a great story” that he’s sure the show would want to follow; however, Mackenzie revealing that she’s pregnant with twins is something he thought would’ve been announced on the upcoming season of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter,’ not on a talk show.
“ … What a great way to start the season, [Mackenzie’s] pregnant,” Cory said. “I mean, they could just start [the season] with her already having the babies, ya know? See, I’m already thinking storylines and whatnot. That’s because I’ve been in this game too long.”
Cory went on to clarify in his video that “‘Teen Mom’ is not officially done,” before predicting that if MTV did decide that the show was “done on the network,” it could possibly move to the Paramount+ streaming service.
“I think we’re a far ways from that, but right now, we are on pause and we’ll see,” he said.
Should the show get greenlit for a third season, one of the original girls— Amber Portwood— has made it clear that she won’t be joining her longtime castmates. As The Ashley previously reported, Amber announced last month that she had quit the show, and was encouraging her co-star Catelynn Lowell to do the same. Amber has reiterated this statements several times since then during her frequent TikTok Live appearances.
For now, new episodes of ‘Teen Mom: The Next Chapter’ air Thursdays on MTV.

MTV SHOULD DEF DO A SEASON ON JUST CHECKING UP WITH PAST GIRLS INSTEAD OF THE FAKE ASS STORY LINES! OK IM DONE🤭
I seriously don’t understand why this show got cancelled and yet teen mom OG continues in a never-ending spin off fashion lol.
Mackenzie and Khesanio are actually working real jobs–unlike almost everyone else on the show. Would love to follow her pregnancy and new life–seems pretty happy!
I stopped watching before Mack’s first go-round on TM, but seems like she has learned and grown from her mistakes. Looks like Mack was actually smart with her TM money and put it towards what appears to be a sustainable business. As opposed to clothing lines nobody asked for or just trying to ride the gravy train as an “influencer”. And she chose a non-bum for her next partner. Can’t snark on that.
Cory terrified he will have to get a real job
Cory is just worried he might have to actually get a real job
Finally. “Teen mom”, they are in their mid thirtys.
I still have yet to figure out why MTV worships Cory so much.
Maybe they are searching for an Amber replacement.
Kayla or a Beaver would be good! Even Kaiya has some shit going on.
I second Kiaya since she’s literally like 20 minutes away from me 😂 it’s so crazy seeing my area that I’ve grown up in my whole life on TV! I saw her & her mom out at a restaurant I was at one night & it was so surreal
i’ve been wanting the show to end since before kail’s baby daddy #3 but now i’m rooting for it to go on forever so amber can stfu and look even dumber after swearing the show wouldn’t be able to go on without her
Cory acting like he knows all about storylines is so funny considering he NEVER has a storyline, neither does Cheyenne, and NEITHER of them were teen parents not original members of this show.
Are we for sure Amber quit?
Rumors are that she was canned..
If they do come back for Season 33333, they need a cast revamp.
I really liked Katie Yeager and Alexa Sekella. They were actually real teenage moms. They worked. Alexa worked multiple jobs if I remember correctly. The men they were with were absolute losers. They got rid of them though and they seemed to be good moms. I guess stability isn’t interesting though.
Even if they did a whole season where it was full episodes of nothing but updates with an episode for each girl that’s been on 16 & Pregnant who agrees to an update, they could interview them & the people that were previously on their 16 & Pregnant episode & do “where are they now?” specials. Alex Sekella would be an interesting update episode for sure. She’s married now & her husband adopted her daughter that she had on the show. She now has 2 kids with him & she just had their second kid less than a year ago so it would be an episode worth watching!
This shit show should have been cancelled a long time ago. And why wasn’t cheyenne the racist pig fired when she said she wanted to kill ALL white babies?
same reason why jenelle wasn’t fired when she called kieffer the n word with the hard r repeatedly and farrah after calling someone a “black piece of sh!t” or called cory ghetto unprovoked yet you don’t hear anyone complain about that
Fair enough, didn’t know about some of those. I say fire them all, see how long they last getting a real job, hell, look at Macy, dumb ass can’t even do general math, but she sure can drink that alcohol from morning to night.
I would watch a show that made them get real jobs. You know something like Dirty Jobs would be fun.
They hired Cheyanne after her racist texts came out
Calling someone a pig when complaining about their problematic behavior and statements…is a choice. 🤨 You just guaranteed that no one will take you seriously. And honestly? It makes you look a little racist yourself. There were MANY racist comments excused on this show over the years but you are stuck on this one. It was wrong. Straight up. But why aren’t you mad at the other comments? Just this one. Maybe do a little self discovery before opening your mouth.
She’s a racist pig
They didn’t like Taylor’s comments either. But they brought her back and they didn’t even bring up Cheyennes racist posts.
