MTV Australia has announced a local version of its international reality TV format, Teen Mom has been commissioned for Australia.
Produced by WTFN, Teen Mom Australia will explore the lives of three Teen Moms from different backgrounds and different corners of Australia as they try to find the right balance between child care, working, and teenage hormones.
Since the launch of the franchise in 2010, the American and UK franchises have become two of the highest rating titles on MTV Australia.
Now MTV is opening casting to young mothers who are willing to give Australia an exclusive and candid insight into the lives they live.
“Teen Mom resonates with Australian viewers because the show is ultimately non-judgmental and honest, and the success of the US and UK Teen Mom franchises with Australian audiences has been incredibly positive. With a great team and brilliant format, we’re thrilled to bring our very first, locally produced Aussie take to this show that we are confident our viewers will love” said Simon Bates, Vice President and Head of MTV Asia Pacific.
The commissioning of Teen Mom Australia adds to the growing list of local productions for MTV Australia that includes MTV Unplugged Melbourne, MTV Cribs and soon-to-be-launched MTV TRL.
The ten-part series, Teen Mom Australia, will premiere in 2019 exclusively on MTV on Foxtel, Foxtel Now and Fetch.
