Why in the world did the Secret Life of the American Teenager end?
When the Secret Life of the American Teenager came to an end after 5 years in June 2013, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Ricky Underwood (Daren Kagasoff), Grace Kathleen Bowman (Megan Park) and Amy Juergens (Shailene Woodley). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Secret Life of the American Teenager reunion disappoint people?
The Secret Life of the American Teenager aired from 2008-2013 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Kagasoff said he's not sure if the Secret Life of the American Teenager would work today. “I don't want to see old Ricky Underwood,” he told a journalist (Kagasoff turned 37 in September). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Secret Life of the American Teenager movie?
In a recent interview, Molly Ringwald (who played Anne Juergens) said she can't imagine a Secret Life of the American Teenager reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Renee Olstead (who played Madison Cooperstein between 2008 and 2013) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Secret Life of the American Teenager movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Secret Life of the American Teenager film, Shailene Woodley stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Secret Life of the American Teenager reboot?
