Just hours ago, MTV execs confirmed the exciting news.
"MTV UK has a great track record of re-versioning hit shows from our sister channel in the U.S.—we turned Jersey Shore into Geordie Shore and smashed ratings records in the process," MTV UK managing director Jill Offman said in a statement, via a report by Us Weekly on Monday. "We'll use this expertise to give Teen Mom a fresh lease of life, combined with a unique British twist, which we’re confident will have massive appeal to local audiences."

True North Productions' Fiona O'Sullivan was also excited and hopeful for the new installment.
"True North is delighted to be entrusted with making the U.K. version of Teen Mom," she added in a press release. "We've have a long and fruitful relationship with MTV and have had previous success working together, so we look forward to getting to work on this project to make more 'appointment to view' TV."
As Us Weekly revealed, Teen Mom was launched in the U.S. in 2009 and aired for four seasons before coming to a temporary end in 2012. Then, three years later, the series was rebooted as Teen Mom OG and began airing on MTV. The series also had a couple of spinoffs, Teen Mom 2, which continues to be a hit, and Teen Mom 3, which was canceled after just one season.
