Season 3

Teen Wolf Season 3 is filmed in Los Angeles, California.

Thus far, the first 12 of 24 episodes are complete. Production on episode 313 began on July 29, 2013.

Episode 301 debuted on MTV at 10PM EDT on June 3, 2013 and scored the highest ratings of the series to date.

Episode 313 is set to debut on MTV on January 6, 2014.

Plot
The plot in Season 3 picks up four months after the events of the Season 2 finale, at the beginning of Scott McCall's junior year of high school.

Show Creator Jeff Davis explains that the gap was designed to allow the characters to recover from the events of Season 2, to allow them to get back to being normal teenagers again before the next supernatural threat manifests.

Cliffhanger elements from Season 2, namely the fates of Boyd and Erica as well as the arrival of the new "Alpha Pack", are resolved.

The Season 3(a) story arc focuses on The Alpha Pack's plans for Derek and Scott and a mysterious killer (Darach) that used a dark druid ritual to murder several students, teachers, and others.

The Season 3(b) story arc will feature Japanese mythology and will include a new shapeshifting creature.

Marketing
In the 8 months between the end of Season 2 and the debut of Season 3, Teen Wolf and MTV engaged with the audience through photo releases and videos from set as well as online “question and answer” sessions with Executive Producer Jeff Davis.

After Season 3(a) ended in August, interaction from Teen Wolf's official social media channels to fans dried up.

In September 2012 there were 22 posts to the Teen Wolf Official Tumblr - in September 2013 we saw only 8.

There's been only one set video released during the 3(b) hiatus, on November 11.

Production
Jeff Davis remains Executive Producer and Head Writer of the show.

MTV's order of 24 episodes for Season 3 is double the 12 episode orders seen for Season 1 and Season 2.

Season 3 marks major changes in the show's production.

After receiving tax credits from the State of California, production moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Los Angeles, California.

In addition to the tax credits, which will reduce the cost per episode, the move is also more convenient for most of the cast and writers as they live in Los Angeles full time.

The change in location means some changes to the sets.

Most of the interiors are shot on a sound stage meaning those sets could be shipped whole to the new Teen Wolf Studio in Northridge, California.

A significant new interior set, Derek's Loft, was designed and built on site.

Exteriors will be different.

Palisades Charter High School will double for Beacon Hills High School.

Various areas around Los Angeles - Griffith Park, The Westlake area etc will double for the Beacon Hills Preserve, the warehouse district and other familiar Teen Wolf locations.

New Teen Wolf locations include Soledad Canyon Road near Acton, California, a mid-century modern motel in Glendale, California and a loft/event space in downtown Los Angeles known as Majestic Halls.

Filming began on December 3, 2012.

Production shut down May 9, 2013 for a three month hiatus.

On July 7, 2013 at San Diego Comic-Con, Jeff Davis announced that the second 12 episodes of Season 3 (Season 3b) will debut on January 6, 2014.

Production on Season 3(b) began on July 29, 2013.

We have details and photos from the set at our Behind the Scenes page.

Wolf Watch
Starting with the Season 3(b) episodes, MTV will present Wolf Watch. The half-hour chat show will follow the initial broadcast.

Jill Wagner will host the show which will feature cast members, celebrity fans, and others related to the show.

MTV Official says it will be similar to Talking Dead which follows new episodes of The Walking Dead.
