Fans Call ‘Teen Mom: Next Chapter’ Boring
The renewal of “Teen Mom: Girls’ Night In” is not the first time fans have been vocal about losing interest in the franchise.
According to The Sun, the franchise’s latest installment, “Teen Mom: Next Chapter,” received backlash for being boring.
The outlet reported in September that fans slammed the newest spinoff online, calling it a “snoozefest. One fan said they were “almost done” with the franchise, The Sun reported.
And that’s not all. According to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, the franchise’s rating have been plummeting in recent years. The Ashley reported in April 2022 that the season 11 premiere of “Teen Mom 2” had only 459,000 live viewers. The “Teen Mom 2” season 10 premiere received almost double the ratings, the outlet reported.
A month prior, the Ashley reported that an insider source revealed that “Teen Mom: Next Chapter” was a “last ditch effort” to save the sinking franchise.
“There are just too many people working on this franchise and it’s not bringing in the ratings and money it once did,” the source told the outlet. “They needed to come up with a way to keep the show going but in a cheaper way. The casts’ salaries are enormous and it costs a lot of money to fly all over the country to film the girls.”
“Teen Mom: Next Chapter” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. Eastern time on MTV.
