Season 8 of Unexpected has not even been discussed yet, but it is alleged that Season 9 has already been cast. A new couple revealed that they will be the focus of an upcoming season and are asking for mercy. So, what is their backstory, and are fans of the show ready for them? Keep reading for all of the details that are currently known.
Unexpected Season 8 Is Still Casting
Season 7 of Unexpected was filled with controversy thanks to Bella Vaughn and Hunter Johnson. She was just 14 when she got pregnant, but he was only 12, which was the real scandal. Moreover, their mothers did not seem to care if they continued to be sexually active almost immediately after they welcomed their son, Wes. Within four days postpartum, the couple was showering together and had a pregnancy scare. This alarmed viewers, as they felt their parents needed to intervene, but that did not happen.
After the season ended, the cast and show alumni, as they usually do, started to share casting information for Season 8. It was unclear who would return, but fans felt that Bella’s mother, Falen, was gunning for another season.
A new season has yet to be announced, and it often takes time. There was a two-year gap between Seasons 5 and 6. A year and a half went by between Seasons 6 and 7, so the same would likely apply to any Season 8 announcement. However, a couple is claiming that they are set to join Unexpected for Season 9. Their names are Kamryn, who is 14, and his pregnant girlfriend, Amira, who is 15. It was Kamryn’s mother who announced that they would be on the TLC show, but nothing adds up.
The couple does have their own TikTok, and they are claiming that they are filming. Additionally, viewers are excited to watch their journey unfold. However, no one knows how legit this is since Season 8 is still up in the air:
- Considering they’re not even filming season 8, this appears to be another example of a teen pregnancy for the purpose of getting on the show. This is child exploitation.
Why Is This Happening?
Although Unexpected is a fan favorite show, many could not help but question when people will learn. It seems as though these teenagers are simply getting pregnant just to be able to be featured on the show. Moreover, they do not care about the consequences, and that is the problem. At the same time, this couple appears to be exploited by the son’s mother for fame, which is even sadder:
- They aren’t gonna ever learn lmfao. After all the backlash why they think a 14-15 year old couple is a good idea again is beyond me. 😩😂
- Oh the world will be hard on them. She chose to let it happen. And that sign. Uuummm does that weird anyone else out?? Seems inappropriate or distasteful.
- Honestly, I don’t know why any parent is okay with having their child exploited on a reality show… especially during the hardest time of their lives.
Others felt that this was all AI-generated and could not get over the poorly made posters. Again, the couple is on TikTok, but time will tell if they are featured on Unexpected.
