MTV's high school comedy series is said to be pulling the plug after its last season as per Mstarz."Awkward's" main characters Mike Chessler and Chris Alberghini understood that the end of high school should mean the end of the series; but the final episodes of the upcoming season seem to open doors for new story lines. These episodes seem to give the characters an introduction to what life is after school which could be a possibility of having another season.
The Hollywood Reporter reported that "Awkward's" executive producer then revealed some details regarding the show saying:
"In terms of it being the end, it might not be. We don't know about that we were just feeling like 5A is the end of the high school chapter of the show, and 5B is a whole new reboot of the show. We finished shooting 5B in July, and we're really excited about how that came out. On the one hand, it's a nice resolution, but on the other hand, it opens a lot of doors, so this may not be the end of the show."
The Hollywood Reporter was then able to interview the "Awkward" cast regarding the final season, which gives the viewers an insight on what to expect.
THR: Season five looks like it's going to hit a lot of the big senior-year moments, like prom and graduation. Are those major milestones going to be the focus of the season?
Chessler: We have two prom episodes, which we just think are really exciting. As well as graduation, we have grad night. I think 5A really is tied to the sort of seminal events of senior year that we all went through, that Chris and I and our writing staff also went through. We can all talk about what ours were like, and I think most viewers are either looking forward to those events or have already experienced them. It's a pretty universal experience, and we really had a great time digging into it and seeing how our characters would experience them and what their specific spin on them would be. And we came up with some fun stuff I'm very excited about.
Alberghini: Our approach to senior year, which began with 4A, was always focused on how senior year is such a time of freedom. You have more freedom as a student. You're really living life because it's your last year of high school. We wanted to open it up more and get out of school a little bit and send them off into the world, and it so happens that a lot of the big milestone events happen chronologically in those last couple of months of senior year, so that coincides with the episodes that we shot for 5A.
