Adam Lind and Jeremy Calvert are being forced to return to Teen Mom 2.

Although neither father wanted to be a part of the MTV series' forthcoming season, MTV has turned the impending season into a continuation of season seven, which means they are both required to continue on with the show and complete the installment.

“Both guys signed on for Season 7, and wanted out while filming last season,” a source told The Ashley's Reality Roundup on Monday. “Neither planned to do any more episodes after that, but MTV kind of pulled a fast one on them and simply extended the season. Instead of the new season being Season 8, it is now Season 7B, which means there were no new contracts signed.”

“It’s unavoidable,” the source added. “They can’t get out of it because they already signed, knowing that it was a possibility that the season would be extended. It happened once before to the cast.”

“Jeremy is so done,” another source revealed to the outlet. “There’s no way he’ll sign on for Season 8. MTV keeps trying to throw money at him, but he isn’t taking it. He just wants away from all the craziness that being on the show brings. Unfortunately, he has to honor the full Season 7 contract that he signed before he can be done.”

While the men will be paid for their time filming, they will only receive partial payments for their work because the season is not a full installment.

“Sort of like a ‘pro-rated’ version [of a salary],” the source explained. “When they renegotiate the contracts for Season 8, that’s when the pay will go up for the cast members who sign on.”
