Aside from confirming that Teen Wolf‘s winter season will begin January 6th, MTV revealed that the fall season of Awkward and the third season of Snooki & JWOWW will both debut in October, though no concrete premiere dates have been announced. Additionally, the network will be unveiling two new docuseries to go along with said established hits in Generation Cryo, about children who were conceived through anonymous sperm donors, and Nurses, following a group of travel nurses assigned to work at an Orange County hospital for 13 weeks. The former will premiere sometime this November, while the latter is set to make its debut on an undetermined date this fall.

In terms of development, MTV has named Jay Beattie (Revenge, Criminal Minds) and Dan Dworkin (Revenge, Criminal Minds) as writers for the highly anticipated series adaptation of horror movie franchise Scream. The network also announced two new pilots, including high school buddy comedy Faking It and Happyland, which tells the story of a girl whose mother works at a theme park. No new drama pilots have been added to the MTV development roster, however.

Which new comedy pilot do you think sounds like a better fit for MTV? What will it take for MTV’s unlucky scripted streak (e.g. the one season runs of Skins, The Inbetweeners, Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous, Underemployed, and I Just Want My Pants Back) to be broken? Are you looking forward to the next season of Awkward?

The network also picked up three reality shows, starting with Generation Cryo, a one-hour docu-drama that explores the issues faced by a new generation of kids coming of age who were conceived via anonymous sperm donors. Specifically, the show will follow 17-year-old Breeanna, who recently learned that she has at least 15 half-siblings all fathered by a man that none of them know. Now, she’s on a mission to meet each of her siblings and find her father.

Next is fellow docu-series Nurse Nation, which follows nine twenty-something travel nurses all assigned to work at a new hospital in a brand new city for 13 weeks. Considering how stressful their new positions are, with the life and death decisions that everyone in the medical profession has to face on a daily basis, it’s no wonder that they all try and take advantage of their time off as best they can, indulging in everything they can in their new host city. Finally, there’s The Hook Up, a dating show hosted by Andrew Schulz. Individuals looking for a match will choose from four potential suitors based on their social media history. With the help of their closest friends, the contestants will try to separate the contenders from the pretenders.

Additionally, MTV has officially renewed Jersey Shore spin-off Snooki & JWOWW for a third season after the show was the #1 original series in the time period across all TV for P12-34 as well as the #1 series in its time period across all TV for W 12-34. There’s no word yet on when it would likely return for another round of episodes, nor how much episodes we should expect of the former party monsters. It’s the first spin-off of the Shore to earn a second season, as The Pauly D Project never took off, but there’ll be another chance for America’s favorite guidos to score another victory when Vinny’s The Show with Vinny premieres May 2nd.

Elsewhere at the upfronts, MTV2 has brought back Nick Cannon’s Wild’n Out, which will debut its re-imagined form on Tuesday, July 9th at 11:00. Joining Nick will be celebrity team captains including comedians Kevin Hart and Lil DuVal of MTV2’s Guy Code, professional basketball player Amar’e Stoudemire, along with rappers Mac Miller, 2Chainz, Machine Gun Kelly, A$AP Rocky and Joe Budden. The network also announced the fall debut of Guy Court, a comedic courtroom series dedicated to upholding the laws of manhood, and that Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family will premiere its second season in early 2014.
