Teen Mom 3 canceled by MTV, cast members react
As we reported last month, the third installment of MTV’s Teen Mom franchise was not guaranteed to be back for a second season after having difficulty getting traction in the ratings combined with discontentment among some of the cast members about editing and how they were portrayed on the show. Judging from their Twitter feeds, it appears the Teen Mom 3 gals got the official word yesterday that MTV has decided to cancel the show and it would not be back for Season 2.
Alex Sekella was the first to hint at the cancellation with this tweet Friday afternoon:
well that's that

That was followed shortly by Mackenzie McKee’s one-word message:
Shocked

As you would imagine, these vague tweets had many folks speculating that the MTV had made a decision to cancel the show, but it wasn’t until Briana DeJesus took to Twitter earlier today that the speculation was confirmed:
It's come to an end guys!

Katie Yeager then penned a farewell of sorts and expressed her gratitude for the opportunity:
I'm grateful for this experience. Molli and I are ready to move on from this and live a normal life. Thanks for all the love and support

UPDATE – Alex Sekella just added a lengthy (in Twitter terms) message about the cancellation:
Yes no more teen mom 3. Guess we weren't enough of train wrecks for it to be interesting. America wants to watch crazies oh well #relieved

As you probably know, we here at Starcasm are huge fans of Teen Mom 3 and the young mothers on the show, and of course we are disappointed to hear that we won’t be able to keep up with their lives on television. But, you can rest assured that we will be keeping up with them as well as Nova, Molli, Arabella, Gannon and Gannon’s little sister for years to come!
As we say often after live tweeting the episodes, thanks to the moms and their families for sharing their lives with us.
