The Secret Life of the American Teenager was cancelled by ABC Family two years ago, but there are still loyal fans that were left unsatisfied with the ending of the series. The finale was left open-ended with Amy moving to New York.
After the cast reunited for a wedding recently, the reunion generated new interest in the series and its ending. Fans wanted to know what would happened to the characters if the series continued to air. MTV asked the creator of the series, Brenda Hampton, that question, and she gave a very detailed answer.
She revealed that Amy did move to New York, and she stayed in New York. However, she did not stay alone in New York City. After a couple of years, her entire family, including her son and his father moved to New York City to be with her.
“The cross-country travel while taking on college was just too stressful for Amy, but no one wanted to see her abandon her dreams so everyone came to her. That’s right, Grandpa George, Ricky and John all in an apartment in Brooklyn Heights, all so Amy could be with John more often while getting her degree. But they were a safe distance away over the Brooklyn Bridge, and she remained in the dorm for a few years.”
After college, Amy started a career in documentary films and Ricky went for the business side of things, and he worked to open a fast food chain.
As fans can see, Brenda Hampton, knew exactly where she wanted to take Amy and the rest of her family on The Secret Life of the American Teenager. She had it all planned out, but the series was cancelled after season five. There was not a sixth season.
MTV also asked if it was possible to bring back the series, and Hampton made it clear that was not possible. She did take a moment to thank the loyal fans that did watch the series while it aired.
“Because this is the reality of producing a long-running series, it’s very difficult to keep all the actors together over the years. Hey, it’s difficult to keep fans as well! So I want to thank all the fans who watched us for five seasons and for still caring what happens to Ricky and Amy and everyone in “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” family.”

I love this show and I hope it comes back I didn’t like the way things were left on the last season
Omg I Don’t care about Amy lol, I wanna know about Adrian! Amy sucked
We need a reboot , o think this show is really important especially in today times with young kids and pregnancy, and I want know John side omg.
Why didnt they just address this in the finale. I just watched the whole season on here and I was very disappointed with the finale.
It would have been nice to see Amy go to college and still have that family with Ricky and John. Why couldn’t Ricky just go to New York with John and see if they all can make it one last time. It’s a 50/50 in any relationship at the end of the day. Us fans need a season 6 to close the story out.
The cast of the secret life of the American teenagers had a reunion last year and the host would you guys be down to do another season or episode and they all said they would
season 6 was cancelled I am so sad it was cancelled. Why would they leave the finale of season 5 on a cliff-hanger and never bring back more. Brenda Hampton did say what happened after the 5th season, but I want to SEE what actually happened. I don’t want to read about what happened, I want to see it in a series. Most of the actors were quite young when they started shooting, so most of them would still be here to finish and film the rest of the series for fans. Some fans get so angry with cliff-hanger that… Read more »
BRING THEM BACK I WANT TO SEE SEASON 6 AND MORE
I just started watching the show and have spent countless hours a day watching episode after episode and was very disappointed at the end of it. I think there should be more seasons. Loved watching it.
I think that there should be more seasons of the Secret Life of The American Teenager. The last season of it didn’t really show what happened at all. I think all of the fans who watched The Secret Life of The American Teenager want more seasons so we can look forward to with the pandemic that is going on right now. Bring it back.
When will season 6 come out?

I absolutely love this show! And I would LOVEE to see if Amy ends up happily ever after with Ben. As well as Grace’s,Adrian’s,and Maddison and Lorien’s life played out. Not to forget who Ricky ends up with and how John and Robby are doing growing up. And maybe a little of ricky’s parents and foster brother as well. Oh one more not to forget the sausage king’s life. PLEASE MAKE A SPIN OFF!!!!!!!!
I think Amy and Ricky should be married because they are the best couple in the world they should have been together all along.
