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.”
Check out the MTV article to find out more about what would happened to the other characters on the series. Would you have wanted to see Brenda Hampton’s plans for The Secret Life of the American Teenager play out on the small screen? Tell us what you think.
You need to bring this back, it’s real, especially for kids today that focus so much on sex and not what the consequences of that is let alone how heartbreaking relationships can be, so plz bring back miss seasons of the secret life of an American teenager
Please bring the show back I need this in my life!!!!!!!!! It is pure torture to not know what’s next I love this show!!!!
I really wish to have seen how things played out for the whole cast. To know that the series was cancelled really breaks my heart. Please bring the show back!!!!
make the ******* season 6
Please bring the show back…
I would really appreciate if the show was brought back. I know she told us how this ends, but I know that at least I would really appreciate it if it was on screen. I feel like it would give us more satisfaction. It doesn’t even have to be a whole season it can be a finale episode of the whole series. Please take this into consideration!!!
Please bring the show back!!
Please, PLEASE bring back the series. Make a season 6 !!!! Although there might be very few fans… Those who are a fan hate to see the series end. PLEASE Brenda Hampton bring it back. I would do anything to see this back. Im a Teen mother… and i just got very inspired by this series when i first saw it. Bring it back!!
Make a season 6 I want to know what happens I love that show do a season 6!!!!!!
I love watching this show, I hate that it has been canceled. Please bring it back, I really want to how it ends.
So theres no season six WHY we need a season six we need to see what happens with Amy,Ricky and John This is insane to leave the show off like this make a new season
i want season 6 i want amy and ricky together again their the best couple
I really want a season 6. I don’t think I could live without it. I need closure between Ricky and Amy, Grace and Jack, Madison and Lauren, etc. There and got to be something. At least one final episode of the future.
I think they should definitely make another season. I think that the actors would stick together to finish the show. This show will succeed and the fans will love to hear the show is back on. I seriously hope they continue it I’m going to be waiting!!! I have hope for this. Please continue the show.!!
I think that we should sign a position stating why we think that there should be another few seasons. It is like they are trying tournament us. The season ended with Amy leaving to go to New York without Ricky and John and wanting to go back up there every two seconds but then she didn’t. I think there are a lot of people want to know so I feel like we should start a petition stating the reasons why we want the show to go on it ain’t fair that they get the pick and we don’t so I’m… Read more »
