Paramount Plus has confirmed that Teen Mom UK will return for its fourteenth season, with the new series debuting on September 1. The announcement comes shortly after the previous season's finale, and the new season will see the return of former cast member Shannon Wise.
Shannon Wise Returns to Cast
Shannon Wise, who departed the show just before its seventh series back in 2020, replaces Sassi Simonds. Simonds had announced ahead of series 13's debut that it would be her last, telling followers she wanted to focus on her social media presence where she could be "raw, real and unapologetically me."
In a statement, Simonds shared: "I'm forever grateful for everyone who's supported me, watched me grow and stuck by me through every high and low. This journey changed my life and I'll always be proud to have shared it with you all."
Cast and Synopsis for Series 14
Alongside Shannon, the series 14 cast will see the return of Amber Butler, Chloe Patton, and Mia Boardman. According to the new season's synopsis: "It's been 10 incredible years of Teen Mom UK! This series we see the return of an old face which means an emotional time for the girls. It's a mix of celebrations, heartbreak and friendship but most importantly the highs and lows of being a mom."
Fans have reacted with excitement to both the release date and Shannon's comeback on Reddit. One wrote: "Yessss! Awwww I was hoping that Shannon or Megan would return one day! That's awesome!" A second added: "Omg no way that's so exciting." A third commented: "Aw that's good, will be nice to get an update on how she's doing."
Show Background and Spin-off
The popular reality programme launched in 2016 as a spin-off of its American counterpart Teen Mom. Viewers have also been keeping up with Teen Mom UK: Next Generation, which chronicles an entirely fresh group of mothers at the very beginning of their parenting experience.
Now in its fourth series, Next Generation recently welcomed two new additions to the cast in 17-year-old Tigi Hasson and 18-year-old Terriann Evans. New episodes of the show air every Tuesday up until the grand finale on August 25. Teen Mom UK series 14 will be available to stream from September 1 on Paramount Plus.
