'Teen Mom 2' Renewed for Season 6: 'It Would Be Foolish to Stop Filming Now'
MTV's "Teen Mom 2" has reportedly lived to see another day. New reports state that the reality show has been renewed for a sixth season.
"Producers saw that ratings were so high," a source told Radar Online. "And now there's a whole new crop of drama: Jenelle's pregnant, and Leah and Jeremey are talking divorce. It would be foolish to stop filming now."
The current season has been filled with plenty of drama that viewers have come to expect: divorce, pregnancy (although planned this time), abortion, courtroom battles, and parenting conflicts. The show has continued to follow the lives of Leah Calvert, Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska, and Kaylin Lowry as they navigate life with their children and families, which are growing.

Kailyn and Javi married this season and welcomed their first child together, a baby boy named Lincoln. The couple had to deal with a great deal of family drama on both sides yet managed to pull off their dream wedding and welcome their child into the world.
