 No News on Season 5

There is no actual news on Season 5 because, as of this moment, nothing about Season 5 has been decided. Still, there are literally hundreds of articles now out there claiming “Season 5 Spoilers” and “Teases” without any such thing actually on offer.

Here is the actual Jeff Davis article that many of the others are based upon – in it he says:


 * Next season is very much up in the air. And to be honest, getting through this season was such an unbelievable challenge that we’re glad to just have a break and not think anymore and wait for new ideas to come to us. So we’re trying not to talk too much about season 5 until we actually sit back in the writers’ room and get to it.

So there is nothing spoilery yet because there is nothing yet.

Another article that is getting much play and being blown way out of proportion is the TVLine thing with Director Russell Mulcahy. He too says there is no Season 5 yet.


 * We haven’t done too much planning, but from the hints I’ve heard of what’s to come, it’s going to be a really cool, interesting season.

Could he be more noncommittal?

They probably won’t even return to Teen Wolf HQ to begin breaking the story until sometime next month. Anything said now has very little to do with what will actually happen.

 Final Ratings

Total Audience Ratings for the finale were the lowest of the five “final episodes” we’ve seen.

I’ve written extensively about why I think Teen Wolf slipped 18.04% in the official audience count this season. It has to do mainly with changes in how people watch television now and the fact that the ratings system can’t keep up. There’s also the fact that many Teen Wolf viewers have either outgrown the show or soured on it for other reasons.

One factor I've not mentioned is – Teen Wolf isn't the only show with a similar drop in viewers this season.


 * The Vampire Diaries Season 5
 * -15.49% in total audience


 * Arrow Season 2
 * -18.48% in total audience


 * Pretty Little Liars Season 5
 * -15.27% in total audience


 * Once Upon a Time Season 3
 * -16.33% in total audience

There is only one exception I could find to this downward trend.


 * Supernatural Season 9
 * +2.78 in total audience

Overall, the shows with which Teen Wolf shares demographics and themes are not doing as well in the traditional ratings.

I’ve stated why I think it happened in the case of Teen Wolf. I’m not sure all those reasons apply to the others but I can say our show is very much “on trend” with its generation.
