 Teen Wolf Season 5 Behind the Scenes



We've archived all our Season 3&4 Behind the Scenes stories by month - the links below will get you to the archives.

 021015 - Good Morning Mr. Kelley!

It's another early call on Day 2 of TWS5.

Ryan Kelley was getting wardrobe with Daniel Flores at 7AM -

We're expecting an announcement of a new cast member tonight at 8PM (I'm assuming that eastern time since they didn't specify in the tease). This is sure to upset the "y'all have too many new people and we don't know enough about the old people" crowd so I expect plenty of bitching after we find out.

Hoechlin Back
Despite all the baseless rumours, Tyler Hoechlin returned to the Teen Wolf studios today.



He posed with costumer Daniel Flores and Ardent Cho on Tuesday afternoon.

 020915 - Filming Begins

It's the first day back on set for the Teen Wolf Family as filming for Season 5 began bright and early on Monday, February 9.

It was a 5AM set call for makeup and prosthetic wiz Erik Porn, "Day 1 of Teen Wolf Season 5 begins at 5am. How fitting! Here we go!"

He was joined on set a little bit later in the morning by Linden Ashby, "Hi Ho Hi Ho it's off to work we go... Beacon Hills High is officially back in session!"

Writer Angela Harvey says they got down to work around 7:15AM, "All right, rehearsal's up! :-)" and filming began about an hour later "Picture's up! First shot. #giddy Rolling!!"



Two very familiar BTS faces - Damon Jackson and Daniel Flores are back for Season 5. Danny added, "First day of school! @damon_jackson_ #teenwolf #backtoschool"

The only thing we know for certain about what they're filming today - it doesn't include the Beacon Hills High School hallway. We know this because that's the only image released so far today by Teen Wolf Official.



We got some equally interesting images from Melissa Ponzio of the Beacon Hills Hospital morgue and hallway.





She also wanted to make it clear that the crushed water bottle, half-eaten sandwich, and cellphone were not her mess, "For the record, none of that stuff is mine...#TeenWolf."

Late in the day she offered up the first actual clue as to what they're shooting today -



That's the slate for the first episode in what appears to be the McCall house. Maybe?

We also got this little video from Teen Wolf Official too -



Check back throughout the day for updates and new images from the set!

 020615 - Liam's Incredible Bulk

It is safe to say that actor Dylan Sprayberry has been bulking up in preparation for Teen Wolf filming to begin.

Dylan says he's been working out with Kickboxer/Trainer Ronin Boushnak, "My secrets to success listening to rage against the machine #RATM while training with @roninme!"

Boushnak claims to be a 3 time World Champion Kickboxer but I can't verify that anywhere outside of his own gym's website. While his pedigree may be in question, the trainer's results with our little wolf pup are evident.

Dressing Mr. Kelley
Ryan Kelley returned to Teen Wolf Headquarters in Northridge, California today to get fitted for his Season 5 wardrobe.



He shared this selfie with set costumer Adam West and added, “One of my favs #TeenWolfTime #UhOh”

So far we’ve seen Kelley, Linden Ashby, Arden Cho and Tyler Posey return to TWHQ as they get set for filming to begin on Season 5.

 020515 - Producer Posey

Tyler Posey is back at Teen Wolf Headquarters in Northridge, CA today.



As Posey was elevated to "Co-Producer" this year, he and the other producers met today to discuss the upcoming filming schedule for Season 5.

You might also recognize Damon Jackson. In addition to his work behind the scenes, Damon played Danny’s Boyfriend in Seasons 1, 2 and 3.

I believe that is writer/producer Ian Stokes there in the middle.

Here's a wider shot of the room - these are the folks we seldom see but without whom there would be no Teen Wolf.



 020315 - The Wheels on the Bus...

Teen Wolf crew loaded up and headed out this morning for a "Tech Scout" of the locations for the first block of Season 5 Episodes. Folks tell me this is a necessary field trip to deal with all the BTS stuff necessary for the shoot.


 * Production - Where do we set up base camp? Do we have a spot for Craft Services (food)? Bathrooms? Parking? Safety hazards? Equipment storage and transport?


 * Camera Angles - Necessary for shot lists, storyboards, blocking, lighting, boom placement, art department, etc.


 * Set Dressing - How much needs to be covered up? Where can we put the props? Can we paint stuff?


 * Lighting/Power - Do we need a generator? From where can we pull power?


 * Sound - How noisy is the location? Airports? Traffic noise from highways?

Generally, they cover everything they'll need in advance so, on the day of filming, they can just show up, set up and shoot. The fact that they're doing it today suggests location filming could begin in about a week.

 012815 - Welcome Back!

Teen Wolf Headquarters in Northridge, CA is showing signs of life again. The folks in the Wardrobe Department announced their return today.



That’s Megan Smith and Daniel Flores, part of the crew that does the costumes for the show. Danny added – “We're back! #teenwolf #teenwolfwardrobe #season5” to the post. This is not the first we’ve seen of the costumers this season; we've seen Megan and Head Costume Designer Barbara Vazquez working on various projects at TWHQ since the first week of December.

Also back on site, Teen Wolf Production Manager Sam Childs returned to his office full time a couple of weeks ago. He’s responsible for planning out the season’s budget, scheduling filming days, locations and generally organizing everything that has to happen before filming can begin.

Actors are not back on set yet – there’s still a lot of work to do before they return. They do, however, have their first couple of scripts in hand.



And at least one of the writers, Angela Harvey, repeated today what we’ve been hearing for a while now – promises of a great season ahead.



For now all the action is in the offices and the writers' room. On set, the old props from Season 4 still lay right where they were left last summer.





There was a good bit of speculation after Jeff Davis released this image of the first Season 5 script. Some of our Teen Wolf Wiki contributors suggested it might be a Rocky Horror Picture Show reference but that is apparently not the case. That’s from Teen Wolf writer Eric Wallace who should probably know considering he works closely with Davis.

While there are a number of songs called Creatures of the Night, the most famous by far is from the band KISS. The album was not one of their most commercially successful efforts but is praised by critics.

Jeff Davis would have been 7-years-old when the album was released.

Filming for Teen Wolf Season 5 is slated to begin within the next few weeks.

 012015 - Season 5 BTS Video Preview



Teen Wolf News presents a Behind the Scenes Preview for Teen Wolf Season 5.

Teen Wolf Headquarters in Northridge, California is mostly quiet right now waiting for February when filming is slated to begin.
