(Los Angeles, CA.) - TLC's UNEXPECTED follows the journeys of five teenage couples and their families as they navigate the challenges of teen pregnancy and early parenthood. This season features three new couples and two returning that each have unique experiences and obstacles as young, expecting parents.

This season, we meet an aspirational motocross rider who must give up his dream of becoming a professional rider now that his girlfriend's expecting. We are also introduced to a former cheerleading queen who dislikes the "long-distance" relationship she has with her boyfriend from a neighboring town 30-minutes away because they both cannot drive and as a result, they barely see each other. One returning teen mom from last season struggles to create a new life for herself while leaving her past behind, and another returning mom is determined to save up for the next step of her relationship with her fiancé. All the couples grapple with difficult relationships between their families, all the while navigate their individual challenges that come with early parenthood.

Please see the following five couples featured in the upcoming season:

Emalee (18) and Nate (16):

Emalee is the older "cougar" teen mom who dates Nate - the younger, shy boy who dreams of a career as a professional motocross rider. The couple not only navigates the challenges of teen pregnancy, but the expectations and pressures from both sides of their families.

Kayleigh (15) and Graham (15):

Former cheer queen Kayleigh meets Graham, and as they become romantically involved, Kayleigh gets pregnant. The couple realizes long distance is hard to accomplish as neither can drive to see each other, adding another layer to what already seems like a complicated situation.

Aniyah (17) and Dakwon (17):

Aniyah is the overachieving teen diva dating Dakwon, the star athlete who is overwhelmed by the shocking turn their lives have taken. Aniyah goes through difficulties in her pregnancy while growing increasingly worried that Dakwon will leave after their baby is born.

Returning - Jenna (19) and JJ (20):

Jenna is now a super mom to 3-year-old Luca and has finally recovered from her breakup with Luca's father. She is now thriving since moving out on her own and has a new boyfriend named JJ. Along with her wild-card friend, Delanie, the three enjoy a life of independence until Jenna is hit with a devastating surprise from her past.

Returning - Lilly (22) and Lawrence (21):

Lilly and Lawrence are in the throes of hard times for a young family. They have their hands full parenting 4-year-old Aliyah and 16-month-old LJ and at the same time, Lawrence and Lilly are trying to plan for a wedding they have neither the time nor the money to have.
