That is false information, as far as I'm concerned. Good thing you're on the false information and speculation board then isn't it?

However, no, it's not, they've been approved for that California tax credit thing, and there has to be 24 episodes to qualify, I believe. I'm pretty sure that's why s3 was bumped to 24

http://teenwolf.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:122126 I don't know if its 12 or 24 episodes to quality for the tax credit BUT Jeff said he didn't know if season 5 would be 12 or 24 episodes in a interview. Of course I think 12 episodes will be confirmed for season 5 if the ratings stay the same or get lower. Why would 24 episodes be confirmed for season 5 if Teen Wolf keeps getting 1.55 or lower for the ratings. If the ratings drop lower than 1.55 than Teen Wolf could be a dying series and when a series is dying it is best to give the series a proper ending. If season 5 has 12 episodes and has a happy ending than that doesn't mean they can't continue the series if the ratings get better but it means if season 5 don't get 12 more episodes after it than at least it had a proper ending to the series.

That interview was also before they got confirmation of the tax credit. But, your right, as of right now I can't seem to find anything about the required number of episodes. But if I'm right, and the credit requires 24 episodes, then do you really think they're going to do 12 anyway, and lose the tax credit?
