Get excited — Awkward. has just been renewed for its fifth and final season, THR reports.

With a school year filled with events like senior sleepover, ski trip, a male beauty pageant, class picture, spirit week and many other adventures, it’s a season of last chances, old and new romances and big risks.
Ashley Rickards, Beau Mirchoff, Molly Tarlov, Jillian Rose Reed, Brett Davern, Nikki DeLoach, Desi Lydic, Greer Grammer and Mike Faiola star in the show.

Our favorites are back to their old ways in this first look at season four of Awkward!
In the upcoming season, Jenna (Ashley Rickards) and her friends embark on their senior year — an intense time fraught with anxiety about making the transition from dependent adolescent to independent adult.
On the very first day back at Palos Hills, someone hacks into the school database and leaks the class rankings, which forces Jenna to confront the unfortunate consequence of her wayward junior year: a shockingly low rank that jeopardizes her college chances.
This is a kick in the pants to get her act together, but as is typical with Jenna, nothing is simple. She grapples not just with her usual insecurities, but also with the inevitable attraction that always seems to be pulling her toward Matty McKibben (Beau Mirchoff). Can they be just friends? Maybe friends with benefits?
Meanwhile senioritis kicks in, and Jenna and her friends are increasingly tantalized by the playground that is the world outside school walls. There will be many momentous choices made about college and career in senior year, but just as important will be the decisions about friendships and romance.
Awkward season four premieres on Tuesday, April 15 @ 10:00 PM ET/PT on MTV!
