“Awkward”, the popular TV show, is close to getting its fifth season, as it will begin airing on August 31. There have been reports of various changes in the show’s structure, but we don’t know many exact details yet. However, most reports seem to paint a positive picture as it looks like the changes are going to improve the quality of the series to some extent.
The season has been reported to be the show’s last, and it will be split into two parts. The first half will start airing on August 31 and then the show will be briefly paused while the second part of the season is being prepared. We don’t know when it will air itself, but we don’t expect to see it before the end of 2015.
It would make the timing too awkward – no pun intended – as the producers would have to push out the first batch of episodes quickly and then follow them up with the others after a very short pause. Since they likely intend to use the pause for some extra production on the second half of the season, it will likely need to be a bit longer.
Justin Prentice, of “Glee” and “Malibu County” fame, is reportedly joining the cast as Patrick, a student who might end up being a love interest for Tamara. There have been conflicting reports about his involvement in the plot, and there are also rumors that he might become her best friend instead, someone she will confide a lot in.
We’re also not going to see what happens immediately after everyone graduates and how they spend the summer before college. Instead, the story is going to take a leap forward by one year, showing everyone after they’ve spent some time in different parts of the country, doing their own things. Everyone will have matured a bit by the time they get to be shown on the screen, and that has been making the new season even more interesting for the show’s fans.
Some of the characters will apparently go through some struggles with their newfound lives, but of course that’s a given in a storyline like this. And of course, there will surely be some dramatic developments that will keep the show’s dedicated fans on edge. “Awkward” is a show that likes to throw in drama in the most unexpected moments, presenting its characters with strange challenges that they end up having to resolve in unusual ways. And that’s precisely one of the reasons for many people to enjoy the show so much.
