 Back 12 of Season 3 in “Early 2014”

Officials at Viacom, parent company of MTV and therefore Grandparent of Teen Wolf, say we won’t see the second half of Season 3 until “early 2014”.

In a conference call with reporters and stock analysts, company executives discussed the upcoming June 3 debut of Teen Wolf, the recent debut of Season 3 of Awkward and the soon-to-air second season of Catfish as part of a strategy of shortening the gaps between seasons on MTV’s most popular products.

Along those lines, they say -


 * “Teen Wolf will return with a summer run and beginning in June before debuting another new season early in 2014.”

While the exec said “another new season” we know that’s the second half, the final 12 episodes of the 24 episode Season 3.

So if MTV runs just one episode each week we’ll wrap the first 12 in August – that means we’ll be waiting at least 4 months for new episodes to resume.

That seems like a long time but we've been waiting twice that long already since the Season 2 Finale.

 Netflix May Dump Teen Wolf

Netflix may end up dumping Teen Wolf as its contract to carry MTV shows expires at the end of May.

Currently, Netflix has a broad contract that allows it to show most of the content created by Viacom channels like MTV and Nickelodeon. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says he’s not interested in all of the companies shows. He says he’ll let the “big deal” expire and instead -


 * “We are in discussions with them about licensing particular shows but have yet to conclude a deal.”

They also want exclusive deals for content meaning, if it was on Netflix, you couldn't stream those “particular shows” anywhere else.

It’s unclear if Teen Wolf is one of the “particular shows” they want.

Today, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman did nothing to calm the fears of fans who count on getting their Teen Wolf fix from Netflix.

While he mentioned that negotiations with the streaming service are ongoing and he is open to exclusive deals for certain programming, Dauman suggested that losing distribution through Netflix would not harm the company’s bottom line.

 No Ratings Boost for Shirtless Stiles

Looks like large numbers of Teen Wolf Fandom did not change channels to support actor Dylan O’Brien in his Sitcom debut on FOX Tuesday night.

Dylan’s appearance on New Girl, shirtless no less, attracted 3.57 million viewers. While that number would be amazing for an episode of Teen Wolf – it’s actually a season low for New Girl which was averaging between 4 and 5 million viewers per week.

I’m not a fan of the show (Zooey Deschanel annoys me like few others) but even I tuned in and can report that Dylan’s performance was rubbing up on brilliant.

He was subtle, fearless and funny.
