Jeff on the Ratings
After announcing that Teen Wolf has been renewed for a Season 6, Jeff explained that the traditional television ratings are not reflective of actual viewership for the show.

This is a trend that Teen Wolf News has reported on several times during the past year and a half. Here’s what Jeff had to say about how people watch the show now.


 * “In 2014 we did 118 million streams which is incredible. Then our aggregate number is upwards of 8 million per episode. Millennials and people under 25 do watch the show in very different ways these days so, as long as you guys keep watching it we’ll keep making it.”

Again, this is familiar territory for those who follow the reporting here on the site.

Jeff on Season 6 Casting
While he was announcing that MTV ordered a Season 6, Jeff also turned to Dylan O’Brien and said -

“You’re coming back too Dylan. Both of them.”

The latter bit refers to Dylan Sprayberry.

Two points on this –


 * Dylan O'Brien looked surprised and, as far as we know, he is not under contract beyond the 20 episodes of Season 5.

I’ll try to clarify this with Jeff today during our interview.

Jeff on Tyler Hoechlin returning to Teen Wolf
When asked when the Derek character would return, Jeff put it all on Hoechlin.

“It’s up to him so tweet him. Tweet him and tell him ‘get your ass back to Teen Wolf.’”

Dylan O’Brien tried to take a little pressure off his boss on this front. “All the behind the scenes stuff, a lot of these characters, have to do with contracts. Jeff would love to have everyone on the show always.”

The panel is fun. A lot of the great interaction stuff I missed while tweeting out the newsy bits. I recommend that you watch the whole thing here -



My interviews with some of the Teen Wolf cast are set for this afternoon. I'll try to start posting videos right away but I have a few other duties I need to perform for the Wikia Mothership that might cause some delay. Once they're up - you can see them here or over at the Teen Wolf Wikia YouTube Page. I rewatched the part where, Jeff announced the renewal, he didn't specify the episode count, but Tyler Posey did in a separate interview at the Marvel pannel, at Comic-Con.-since we haven't heard anything from Mtv or Jeff, does this mean it's officially UNofficial?

Also, Jeff turned and told Dylan he'd be back, I still can't tell if he meant O'brien, Sprayberry or both of them. But Dylan O'brien exclaimed "Hell yeah!" upon Jeff's statement, so Idk if it's safe to assume Dylan O'brien will be back, or if he was just doing that for show, for the fans, and didn't want to make anything awkward, especially since they also talked about the contracts, and why certain actors leave, later on in the video.

All in all, I know Tyler Posey loves the show, and as long as he sticks around, I'll be watching.
