"The next season of Teen Mom will be the last with the original cast, MTV has confirmed. Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell starred in the first season of 16 and Pregnant back in 2009 before being cast in its popular spinoff.   &amp;quot;Season four will be the final season of Teen Mom with Maci, Catelynn, Amber and Farrah,&amp;quot; MTV told Us Weekly. &amp;quot;They will continue to be a part of our MTV family, and we&amp;#039;re thankful to these brave young women for sharing their stories and helping to make a positive impact on teen pregnancy prevention. &amp;quot;From appearing in a series of teen pregnancy prevention PSAs to speaking at high schools around the country, these young women have become advocates for this issue.&amp;quot; A court order had previously ruled Portwood out of filming new Teen Mom episodes due to her ongoing drug problems and legal issues. Teen Mom 2, starring Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska, Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer, recently wrapped its second season. A third is yet to be announced. Season four of Teen Mom is expected to air in summer 2012, while season four of 16 and Pregnant premieres Tuesday March 27 on MTV. Four young women from the latest episodes of 16 and Pregnant will reportedly go on to star in Teen Mom 3. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
