Following the recent premiere of 16 and series 16 and Recovering, MTV has opted to bring back a “a newly reimagined" version of 16 and Pregnant, which aired from 2009 to 2014 and spawned three spinoffs: Teen Mom OG, Teen Mom 2 and Teen Mom: Young + Pregnant. “More than a decade after 16 and Pregnant played a significant role in bringing the teen pregnancy rate down to record lows, we are sharing the stories of a new generation of young parents and underscoring the impact of an unplanned pregnancy on families — beyond the moms and dads-to-be — by showing authentic and intimate moments with siblings and grandparents-to-be addressing the life change,” said Nina L. Diaz, the president and chief creative content officer for ViacomCBS Entertainment & Youth Group.
