Awkward EPs on Life Beyond Season 5: 'Most of the Cast Is Interested' 

If you’re not sure whether to approach Tuesday’s one-hour

(MTV, 10/9c) as a season or series finale, there’s a good reason for that: It’s a little bit of both.

“We always thought it should feel like the ending of a chapter,” executive producer Mike Chessler tells TVLine of the episode. “We really wanted this finale to have pivotal moments for all of the characters, most importantly for Matty and Jenna, since that’s the central relationship of the show. It does feel complete in its own way.”

As for the likelihood of a sixth season, executive producer Chris Alberghini says the decision is MTV’s to make.

“We as the showrunners certainly believe there are plenty more stories left to tell, and we’re excited about the potential to do so,” he explains. “But we don’t control the fate of the show. It’s just a matter of MTV deciding what fits into their schedule next year and how many shows they’re going to have. We’re certainly interested, and most of the cast is interested.”

And what might a sixth season look like, you ask?

“It would be a very different,” Chessler notes. “We’d jump ahead in time again, and there have been conversations about having it in a different city with a different feel. The reason I said this episode is the close of one chapter is because, if there were to be another chapter, it would be a very different phase of [the characters’ lives]. We’d really turn the show on its ear.”

‘s final hour? Do you hope we get to see this “different phase” in Season 6? Drop a comment with 

Kill it. The show has been in a dovetail the last few seasons. The characters have been in a holding pattern in order to satisfy the plot. Sadie has barely grown as a character, Matty is a mess, Tamara is still Tamara and Jenna has become a bore. Jake seems to be the only one who has changed and he’s devolved.

I’ve actually really enjoyed this season. It’s felt like there was a real creative new grounding happened, like everything had a reason and felt organic, unlike past seasons that were just plot device after plot device and wacky for wacky’s sake. They toned Tamara down a bit, for example, and it’s allowed for the showing of just how realistically unprepared she is for adulthood, and how she’s starting to realize she doesn’t want to be as shallow as she’s always been. And Jenna and Matty have had the best moments they’ve ever had this season. Really mature, real stuff.

I wonder if this is all a result of the change of showrunners or whatever it was that happened bts. Huh.

But for what the show is now, it definitely deserves do come back for another season as the show it should have always been. And if this season ends with the main pair together, they better not break them up again. The whole point of a 6th season would be to finally explore Jenna and Matty in a lasting relationship.

Bring it back for a long time jump to mid twenties. Show how far they’ve come and do flashbacks to show the progression. People in their twenties definitely still have awkward lives.

YES!!!!! Please give us more awkward, mtv! I’m not ready to let go of this series yet. I wanna know what happens with all of the characters!

I would like to see 1 more final season to see them them in young adulthood. I feel there is plenty story left to tell

Please put this show out of its misery. It’s a shell of its former self ever since creator Lauren Iungerich left after season 3. It really should have ended there. As much as I enjoy a lot of these characters, nothing the new showrunners have done lately has justified its existence (they also made 90210 unwatchable when they took over).

Especially since the far superior Faking It was canceled, it’s baffling this show is still around (I know I know ratings blah blah). I was such a huge advocate for this show in its early days that it’s hard for me watch such a fall from grace, so I apologize for being such a grump. But this talented cast deserves better. It’s about time we let them prove it.

I would love to have another season. Even if its the last season. Please give us what we want. A satisfying season. Less drama. A season where we see everybody has changed and grown.

Please put this show to rest. This series has gone seriously downhill ever since creator Lauren Iungerich left. This season has been painful to watch. I was a strong fan of this show for Seasons 1-3, but since then the interest is lost. It is surprising to me that MTV cancelled Faking It, a truly groundbreaking series that certainly had more to tell. The cast of Awkward is certainly talented, let them evolve to new roles where they can expand their respective careers.

Yes we need more Awkward on Mtv we need to see the characters grow more! It can’t just end

Can we just get one season to see Jenna and Matty together and HAPPY for more than a month?

Of course I would love more Awkward, but I would always be happy if tomorrow night’s episode is the finale. I just wouldn’t want the show to come back if they are going to be the same dead horse.

Sounds like the plan would be to write Matty and Jenna off and focus on the side characters. I’m ok with that. Their back and forth has really bogged down this season.

Please make more seasons or a new spin-off series!! This cast is amazing and who wouldn’t love to see how they all continue developing these characters into their twenties!? Adolescence has nothing on the awkwardness that accompanies early adulthood! Just look at how successful HIMYM was, except this would be with a cast of characters the audience is already invested in. Tie-in Jenna’s blooming writing career and she could be this generation’s Carrie Bradshaw (okay okay, nobody could ever compete with Carrie and becoming a fashionista isn’t necessarily in Jenna’s foreseeable future, but you get the idea). Some of the most successful shows on television have been about a group of friends muddling together through those basic but morbidly embarrassing moments of real life (Friends, Seinfeld, Cheers), which is the entire premise of Awkward! Let these awesome characters (and the talented cast who plays them!) get to grow up into adults so that they can be appreciated by a much wider demographic and therefore fan base.

OMG i hope they keep the show going i love it so much that i just cant get enough and i cant wait till the finally make a season 6 i’m very intrigued on how everyone’s life will be changing and what the challenges and new things they will be phasing i defiantly think and hope MTV keeps the show going and that the producers keep on making more seasons of the show.

I have enjoyed this show throughout the five seasons however I think it should come to an end. I definitely could not take another season of back & forth between Jenna & Matty.

I really love the show they should totally make a season 6

This is the best tv show I’ve watched in a long time I love all the characters.

Honestly I would be insanely happy if there were another season but I can’t take any more back and forth from Matty and Jenna seriously are they gonna get together or not but besides that I feel Jenna as a character bow is not as exciting and putting her back with Luke wasn’t the best idea either maybe if we got another good season instead of what their feeding us now it would be great consider skipping to their late twenties when their settled down

Please bring it back!!! I love this show!!! I honestly could watch all the seasons again!!!

Awkward NEEDS to continue. I would love to see them grow more and where they would be after they graduate college. Jenna and Matty better end up together in this season finale !!

If they renew it then drop Matty. I have nothing against him and nothing against the actor but the Matty / Jenna relationship drag it down. Every season it is the same thing: they both date other people but they both want to be together, they do get together and then something breaks them up. Please please please a season 6, without any Matty drama would be well deserved.
