Well, is she or isn’t she? Fans hoping to find the answer on The Secret Life of the American Teenager’s Season 2 finale were disappointed when the question remained unanswered at the close of the episode. We still don’t know if Adrian Lee (Francia Raisa) is carrying Ben Boykewich’s (Kenny Baumann) baby, which makes it even harder to wait for the new episodes to premiere in June.

Secret Life Premieres Season 2

After a brief recap of season one, The Secret Life of the American Teenager showed Amy Juergens (Shailene Woodley) struggling to care for her newborn son while doing chores around the house and attending school. The teen mother is now living with just her mother Anne (played by Molly Ringwald), who will definitely be pregnant in this season. The actress was expecting twins before filming began, so there was no way to continue her story without including a new baby.
It was just serendipity that the second season of the show opened with the same theme as the first - pregnancy. But this time, it’s the mother and not the daughter who is expecting.

The show will return with more pregnancy, young motherhood and teen drama in a matter of weeks. The second season premieres June 22 at 8 pm ET.
The Secret Life of the American Teenager: Review

The compelling promos, tons of press and Seventh Heaven association might have been enough to rope me into watching the premiere of ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, but it was the mere presence of Molly Ringwald in the cast which sealed the deal. And so it was that last night during prime time, I found myself watching cable instead of network TV. I don’t think it was a mistake.
Rollicking pop music kicked off the top of the episode, which immediately plunged its viewers headlong into teen pregnancy. Seriously, the main character Amy (played by Shailene Woodley) was barely introduced (as a marching band member) before she was in the restroom staring at the positive results from a home pregnancy kit. No time wasted here on introductions.
Actually, it felt more than a little forced. The audience was given no time to connect with this character in any way before BAM! she’s knocked up. And then, the beginning credits rolled.
