'Teen Mom 2' Season 8: MTV Renews Series? Who Will Return For New Episodes? [VIDEO]
Teen Mom 2 will return to MTV for an eighth season -- at least according to a recent report.
Although MTV has not yet officially announced the series' renewal, sources claim the series is returning to the network and has already begun production with its stars, Leah Messer, Jenelle Evans, Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska.
"Teen Mom 2 Season 8 is officially happening!" The Ashley’s Reality Roundup confirmed in April. "The cast is currently filming Season 8. In fact, they never stopped filming following the end of Season 7, so Season 8 will pick up right where Season 7 left off. (MTV may dub this new season “Season 7B” as they’ve done with other seasons in the past)."
Although there have been swirling reports in regard to possible exits of several members of the cast, including Leah Messer and Jenelle Evans, the outlet claimed all four girls have signed on for season eight. However, one particular girl, who the outlet did not name, was quite hesitant to return but ultimately chose to come back for the money.
“It’s the same story every season,” a source told The Ashley. “Someone says they are done with the show, but honestly, no one is going to turn down the money. [The girls] are used to making astronomical amounts of money, so it’s not like they can go back to a normal job and live the same lifestyle.”
As for the men, Adam Lind announced he would not be returning for season eight during the season seven finale and Jeremy Calvert is also adamant about leaving the show. There have also been reports in regard to Corey Simms' possible exit in recent years, but so far, there is no official confirmation of him leaving.
"Season 8 should be full of drama. It will likely cover Chelsea’s wedding to Cole DeBoer (although Chelsea will not be allowing MTV to film the actual wedding for the show). It will also cover Javi Marroquin‘s homecoming (although he is still on deployment for several more months), Jenelle‘s recent court drama and more!" the outlet revealed.
