Ready for more teen mama drama?

MTV announced today that Teen Mom 3 will premiere with back-to-back episodes on Monday, Aug. 26. The teenage moms featured on the docu-series come from season four of 16 and Pregnant.

Get to know the cast of Teen Mom 3 with their MTV bios below:

Alex: Alex always had dreams of opening her own dance studio, but put everything on hold when she found out she was pregnant. Now, she juggles three part-time jobs as she attempts to finish high school, all while raising her daughter, Arabella, with very little help. Alex does everything possible to keep her life under control, but her baby's father and on-and-off again boyfriend, Matt, is a constant source of unwelcome surprises. After he returns from a six-month stint in rehab, Alex hopes he'll be the person she fell in love with, but finds out quickly that he's unable to meet her expectations.  

Briana: By the time her baby, Nova, was born, Briana was far from on good terms with her baby's father, Devoin, and even left his name off of Nova's birth certificate. She wants her baby to have a father figure, though, and struggles with whether or not she can ultimately repair their broken relationship. Meanwhile, Devoin continues to show disinterest in raising his daughter—rarely visiting or providing financial support, and even posts hurtful comments about Briana online, which drive her to take him to court. Luckily, this young mother has an incredible support system with two strong women, her mother, Roxanne, and older sister Brittany, who stand by her side and help her raise Nova.  

Katie: With memories of filling out college applications and her love of racing ATV's with her friends in the past, Katie had to grow up extremely fast. A perfectionist, she desperately works to raise her baby Molli as best as she can while working a part-time job and taking online courses at a local community college. Education is high on her priority list, and she dreams of transferring to a four-year university. But when Molli's father, Joey, proposes, her plans shift as he insists that it's a waste of money to pay for an education.  Joey working the overnight shift takes a toll on their relationship, and they continuously bicker over money. Despite having what appears to be a perfect home for their baby, Joey reaches his brink and makes a decision that threatens their relationship and crushes Katie's dream of having the perfect family.

Mackenzie: All-American cheerleader Mackenzie has always lived in the moment by her own rules. But since the birth of her son, Gannon, she's had to make major life changes. She's from a large, Christian family—and her mother, Angie, steps in to help Mackenzie navigate motherhood so she can continue to go to high school. Meanwhile, her fiancé, Josh, is on track to become a rodeo star, but they continue to hit rough patches in their relationship as they struggle to communicate. Mackenzie becomes more and more frustrated, and as her junior year of high school progresses, this country girl quickly learns just how hard it is to balance school and cheerleading with raising a child and holding a relationship together.
