 Jeff Takes a Break

Citing exhaustion after more than 6 years helming Teen Wolf, Executive Producer Jeff Davis tells Teen Wolf News he’s pulling back a bit from the show. “Yes, MTV is graciously allowing me to step back in my role.” Davis says he’ll remain as “showrunner” but probably won’t be so hands-on with the scripts and the day-to-day of the production. Ramping down his duties won’t start for a while though. The production is currently transitioning from finishing up the Season 5 episodes and filming Season 6. “I have not actually been able to pull away as much as I’d like just yet,” Davis explains. “I’ve been splitting my time between writers’ room and post production. Now that post is almost done, I’ll be able to breathe a bit more, however.” Others on the Teen Wolf Team will take on extra work to make up for Davis’ absence. “Mostly other producers picking up the weight so that I can get a much needed break.” Davis says they’ll have extra help with next season’s scripts as well. “We hired two new writers, Mark Kruger and Ross Maxwell, who are both great.”


 * Kruger is a writer/producer known for The 4400 and Necessary Roughness while Maxwell worked on Glee.

Not everyone is convinced Davis can stay away from Beacon Hills for very long. “There's a bet going on here about how long I'll actually be taking for vacation,” he said on Monday. “Most don't think I'll last a week!”

 Dylan O’Brien Shooting Teen Wolf

Dylan O'Brien returned to the Teen Wolf set on Monday. He shot scenes with Tyler Posey, Dylan Sprayberry and others at an old cottage craftsman mansion in Inglewood, California. “A beautiful sunny day in LA shooting in an old house made to look strangely abandoned out by the LA oil fields,” says Jeff Davis. “I made it out there for a good bit to visit set and to work on outlines and script pages with the writers.” The folks who lease the house for television and movie production claim it was constructed in 1896. Amateur Los Angeles historian Mike Davison places the origin after the turn of the century. Either way, the house was the site of at least one suspicious death (shotgun to the head while “cleaning the gun”) and is now the favored “creepy house on a hill” for many productions. Possibly the weirdest thing about the house is the fact that it now sits in middle of a functioning oil field. The Inglewood Oil Field started pumping in 1924 and never stopped. There’s talk of expanding production at the site even now. It doesn’t seem likely that the field will play much of a role in whatever Teen Wolf shot up there, from what we saw the scenes were done mostly inside with extra cobwebs added to give that “haunted mansion” feel. Teen Wolf  production is ongoing. After the location shoot early in the week, they returned to film at Teen Wolf Head Quarters in Northridge.

 Tyler Posey Steals the Show

Tyler Posey reportedly steals the show on this week’s Lip Sync Battle (Thursday night at 10PM on SpikeTV). Posey is going up against Gigi Hadid (daughter of one of the Real Housewives) in the faux reality competition show. According to TVLine, Posey’s big moment comes when he’s not supposed to be performing. Apparently the Backstreet Boys are involved?
