The Last Chimera

MTV released the title, synopsis and the first five minutes of the winter debut episode of Teen Wolf Season 5.

According to the network, The Last Chimera will find Scott and Stiles at odds with each other.

“In spite of the deep rift in their friendship, Scott and Stiles must strive to figure out what’s behind the mysterious infection that’s killing Sheriff Stilinski.”

The video, released on Wednesday includes the first real look at the The Beast of Gevaudan in action as it chases down Hayden and Liam.

MTV is moving the show to a new night and time for the new year. Teen Wolf will air on Tuesday nights at 9PM EST starting on January 5, 2016.

Death Cure Delayed

According to the Director’s Guild of Canada, Maze Runner: The Death Cure will not start filming in February as previously announced.

As Teen Wolf News reported last month, the published production schedule for Dylan O’Brien’s next “Maze Runner” film appeared to be in conflict with his contractual duties for Teen Wolf Season 6.

At the time both Maze Runner Director Wes Ball and the Director’s Guild of Canada said MR:TDC would film in Vancouver between February 29 and May 31, 2016. With Teen Wolf traditionally starting their production in February, it seemed there would be a big problem for O’Brien to live up to his obligations on both projects.

Teen Wolf Executive Producer Jeff Davis assured TWN in November that those dates could change, “Despite what you’ve read those dates are not confirmed,” he said and he was right.

According to the latest production list published by the DGC, “Death Cure” has pushed production back to March 14 and expects to shoot through June 14. Wes Ball’s production office in Vancouver closed on December 19 and won’t reopen until next week. We could see another shift in schedule at that time.

As for Teen Wolf, Davis and crew haven’t publicly said when they plan to start shooting new episodes but writing is already underway and Davis hinted that they could start rolling earlier than usual. “There is no break. None!” he said shortly before production wrapped on the final episode of Season 5 on December 19.

Dylan O’Brien is still under contract to appear in both projects. Working out the scheduling will be up to MTV and O’Brien’s representatives.

Teen Wolf News Top Stories of 2015

It’s been a busy year for Teen Wolf as cast and crew shot and debuted the first half of their 20 episode 5th season.

Dylan O’Brien will remain on the show for Season 6


The latter half of the year saw no fewer than 100 articles from questionable websites claiming Dylan O’Brien ( Stiles) is leaving Teen Wolf after Season 5. This clickbait-rumor mill gained traction despite the fact that Teen Wolf News consistently debunked the story.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">In July we talked to Jeff Davis at San Diego Comic Con and were assured that O’Brien would remain with the show into next season. After that we confirmed with Davis three times, including getting details of how they plan to work around O’Brien’s scheduled shoot for the next Maze Runner film.

Producer/Director Tyler Posey


<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">When filming on Season 5 began back in February, Tyler Posey had a shiny new title to live up to. Posey is now an Associate Producer on Teen Wolf.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">These titles are largely honorary for stars in the later seasons of a series run but Posey says he’s taking his new job very seriously. We also got word during SDCC that he will be directing an episode of Teen Wolf Season 6.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">One of the more difficult stories of 2015 actually started in 2014 when Cody Sanitgnue (Brett Talbot) traveled to Las Vegas to celebrate his birthday with family and friends. The night ended with Sanitgnue beaten, bruised and in handcuffs and a lawsuit against the Mirage Casino.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">The video of the actor’s beatdown is hard to watch and could trigger those sensitive to violence and abuse.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">2015 was the year we lost Orny Adams (Coach Finstock). His busy stand-up tour meant he could not be on set for half the season.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">Adams has since returned to the Teen Wolf family and we’re assured Coach will be back about midway through the second half of the season.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">The fine folks at the Wikia Mothership took me to San Diego Comic Con in July. It was an amazing trip and gave me the opportunity to talk to Teen Wolf fans as well as members of the cast and creator Jeff Davis.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">In five seasons, Teen Wolf has explored creatures from several different cultures including the Aztecs, the Celts and Japanese. In the latter half of Season 5, Executive Producer Jeff Davis worked with a Navajo consultant to bring Native American skinwalker lore to the screen.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">The Lydia Martin (Holland Roden) character underwent a major transformation this year. She went from sort of helping out with her Banshee abilities to full on Ninja Girl. We still don’t have the whole story on how she became such a kick ass fighter but hers has been one of the best arcs of Season 5.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">After the breakup of his engagement and the loss of his mother last December, Tyler Posey took to YouTube to express his feelings through songs. His “Music For Your Ears To Bleed To” channel includes covers of his favorite songs and some original efforts he penned.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">He also managed a dream-come-true moment when he got to perform on stage with State Champs during their Los Angeles show.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">Officially the network and the PTB within the production still haven’t actually admitted it but Tyler Hoechlin (Derek Hale) left Teen Wolf this year. Initially officials said he was merely stepping down from “Series Regular” but it soon became clear that he wasn’t coming back to the show at all.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">We also got some dirt on why another fan favorite left the show. Colton Haynes decided not to come back to Teen Wolf after Season 2. While rumors had swirled about the real reason he left, Haynes had remained silent until early in 2015.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.25in">While he didn’t name names, he says it wasn’t as amicable a split as we were led to believe.

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf returns to your screens on January 5. The show will air at a new time on a new night for the second half of Season 5. Check it out Tuesdays at 9PM on MTV.
