Teen Mom's original cast -- Farrah Abraham, Amber Portwood, Catelynn Lowell and Maci Bookout -- may have wrapped their run in August, but that doesn't mean the franchise is coming to a close.

On Thursday, MTV announced plans for Teen Mom 2's third season to premiere November 12, documenting the lives of Jenelle Evans, Chelsea Houska, Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer.

When the new episodes kick off, Evans deals with incessant legal woes and questions the paternity of her 3-year-old son, Jace. Though Evans met -- and moved in with -- a new guy named Josh, the new season finds her back with her troublemaker ex, Keiffer Delp. Lowry's love life is also a focus of the upcoming season, as viewers will meet Javi Marroquin, the man who captured her heart in the wake of her cheating scandal.
