TV show description:
This irreverent TV show is narrated in the first-person voice of the lead character’s blog posts
Jenna Hamilton (Ashley Rickards) is an invisible 15-year-old high school student. She’s wise beyond her years and has an irreverent, optimistic outlook on life but really wants to fit in. Jenna loses her virginity with the boy of her dreams at summer camp and he’s then too embarrassed to be seen with her.
She receives a mysterious “care-frontation” letter and then gets in an accident. Due to her reaction and the timing, everyone believes that it was a failed suicide attempt. Jenna soon starts to realize that this mistake might actually be her ticket to social visibility.
Despite being popular, athletic, and handsome, Matty McKibben (Beau Mirchoff) is deeply insecure. He has sex with Jenna in a supply closet at summer camp and doesn’t want anyone to know. As a result,he and Jenna embark on a secret on-again/off-again relationship.
Matty’s best friends with Jake Rosati (Brett Davern), the class president who’s popular, smart, and outgoing. He dates Lissa (Greer Grammer), a girl who’s ditzy and best friends with Sadie Saxton (Molly Tarlov). Sadie is the most popular girl in school thanks to her parents’ money. She’s a bit overweight and is Jenna’s nemesis.
Jenna’s best friends are Tamara (Jillian Rose Reed) and Ming Huang (Jessica Lu). Tamara’s always there to pick Jenna up when she needs it and has a crush on bandmate Ricky Schwartz (Matthew Fahey). Ming is a down-to-earth indie-style teenager with strict Chinese parents.
Jenna’s mother is Lacey Hamilton (Nikki DeLoach), a woman who’s clueless about raising a child and a superficial plastic surgery fanatic. She had Jenna as a teenager and used her college funds to get breast implants instead. Father Kevin Hamilton (Mike Faiola) is a more responsible parent and is caring and supportive to his daughter.
Valerie Marks (Desi Lydic) is one of the school counsellors and clearly has her own problems. She’s a lonely person who tries too hard to be like the teenagers she is there to help.

What do you think? Do you like the Awkward TV series? Do you think it should have been canceled or renewed for a sixth season?
I feel like these show should be renewed because there is more to the show and I want more drama
DEF should’ve been renewed!! I’m really upset that it wasn’t…
Renew for another season! It is a beloved show!
I am disappointed that this series was cancelled.
It was not,there’s still hope!You can go to their official Instagram page (mtv_awkward) where it’s explained how we can help save it or read interviews if you don’t believe me,they(show writers)said it themselves.
This show deserves a renewed….. Why?well i been watching this show since i was 15 and its really funny and it means a lot to me and I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one!Honestly theres no other show compare to this one and some people can relate this type of experiences that they go through either in high school and college. I would love to see a season 6 and many more.
Please don’t cancelled awkward . I love that show
Please please please keep awkward. You’ve already taken so many shows from me that I’ve loved but this one is one of my favorites. I’m not ready to lose the only thing I look forward to on Tuesday’s!!!
Nooooooo! Don’t end this show!!!! I love it! Plus the ending didn’t feel like the totally end! I need to know what she chooses… Matty, school, what happens with everyone else? This can’t be the end! MTV sign on for three more seasons! Then maybe I will feel like we have truly closed the chapter on awkward!
This is another of my favorite shows, and I’m not talking just on MTV, but over all. Please don’t cancel this show! I have not missed a single episode, I’m even watching some of the old one over on HULU.
I love love this show. I’m hopefully wishing we can follow Jenna navigate her college “Awkward” years. But, if the series must end, MTV you did this show well. I personally will miss Awkward dearly.
