Say Farewell to MTV's 'Faking It'

Fans will have to say goodbye to MTV's Faking It after the season-three finale next week. Show creator Carter Covington revealed the show would not be renewed for another run.

\u201cSad news this morning. For all the #FakingIt fans out there, we're so grateful you loved this show as much as we did https://t.co/x3gihbkGt6\u201d

\u201c140 characters is not enough to express how I feel about this news. I promise #FakingIt fans I'll share what was to come after finale airs\u201d

The show broke new ground for teen comedies in 2014 by building the plot around a same-sex relationship between BFFs Karma and Amy (Katie Stevens and Rita Volk, respectively).

Openly gay character Shane (Michael J. Willett) also pursued some pretty steamy romances--especially with season two's Duke (Skyler Maxon).

\u201cArt has the ability to change the world. And in some way, we did. Never the same. Never forget. #fakingitforever\u201d

Faking It also featured TV's first intersex role played by an intersex actor, Amanda Saenz. Transgender actress Laverne Cox even had a special guest role on the series.

MTV has the rights to the show, so Covington doesn't expect a revival in the future. But he hoped the show's push for more LGBT diversity will impact other shows on the network.
