Holland’s New Show Debuts Friday
Holland Roden was back at New York Comic Con this week promoting a new show on the Amazon Video streaming service. Lore is based on a podcast that relates spooky but true stories from the darker side of history. Here’s the blurb from the Lore creators. “Blending dramatic scenes, animation, archive, and narration, Lore reveals how our horror legends - such as vampires, werewolves, and body snatchers - are rooted in truth.” This mix of different media creates more of a learning experience than a traditional scripted drama, but it also could create some confusion for viewers who don’t know what to expect. “As soon as you’re getting sucked in by this story, then this story, then you wrap back around later in the episode,” Roden explained to reporters in New York. '“It reads like the PBS documentaries that I love. I love The Jinx and The Keepers, so I get to watch a scripted piece that has all the storytelling elements that I like.”' All five episodes of Lore will release on Friday (the 13th) exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers. Holland is in episode 3 “Black Stockings.”

Jane The Virgin Heavily Promotes Posey
Looks like the promotions team over at the CW is banking on Tyler Posey to bring in some new viewers to Jane the Virgin when Season 4 debuts on Friday. Posey plays a new character called Adam who is actually Jane’s (Gina Rodriguez) first love. In a show that traffics almost exclusively in bizarre love triangles, we already expected to see a lot of Posey. The fact that the show’s official social media is pushing him so hard cements that expectation.

Also look for fellow Teen Wolf alum Andrew Matarazzo (Gabe) who will appear this season as Posey’s roommate.

Jane the Virgin returns for Season 4 on Friday at 9 PM on The CW.

Gideon Emery Joining SCREAM
Tyler Posey will apparently be reunited with another Teen Wolf favorite when the reboot of SCREAM hits screens next year. Gideon Emery (Deucalion) is joining the Queen Latifah-led horror television series. There’s very little in the wild about the character Emery will play, someone on Reddit suggested he’s in law enforcement.

Posey is listed as a “series regular,” which still feels like a bluff to me so they can kill him off in the first episode. Adding to my suspicions is the fact that show is currently in production in Atlanta according to Bloody Disgusting, and I’ve yet to see any posts from Tyler in Georgia. They’re also apparently bringing back the old-school SCREAM mask from the movies and erasing all signs of that hideous baby death mask from the old SCREAM show.

Daniel Sharman Plays Unattractive Man
It looks like Daniel Sharman’s post-Walking Dead character will be one of the most challenging parts for him to play – an unattractive person.

Sharman is featured in the upcoming season of Medici: Master Of Florence on Netflix. He’s playing Lorenzo Medici, heir apparent to the influential 15th-century Italian family.

The real guy on which the character is based was rich and powerful and is credited with financing a great deal of art during the late Renaissance, but he was also not very easy on the eyes.

“Lorenzo was rather plain of appearance and was of average height, having a broad frame and short legs, a swarthy skin, squashed nose, short-sighted eyes and a harsh voice.”

<p class="MsoNormal">The guy was known by the people of his time as "Lorenzo the Magnificent," which just goes to show that the tradition of ironic nicknames is kinda old. Hopefully, they rewrote the TV part to be pretty because I’m not sure even Daniel’s considerable acting skills would be enough to overcome his innate attractiveness.

<p class="MsoNormal">Medici: Masters Of Florence season two is filming now and expected to debut sometime next year.

Jeff Answers Lingering Canon Questions
<p class="MsoNormal">After almost 6 years and 100 Episodes, fans still have questions about the mythology and canon of Teen Wolf. As we often do at the end of the season, Teen Wolf News asked its readers to submit questions to show creator Jeff Davis in hopes of wrapping up the show’s canon once and for all with some definitive final answers. <p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately for us, many of the things fans want to know are not things that came up as plot points during the course of the show and therefore were never worked out by Davis and the writers. "To be honest,” he wrote this week, “I don’t know the answer to many of these questions."

<p class="MsoNormal">TWN hit him up with 20 questions in total, we got answers to 13 of those.

The Answered
<p class="MsoNormal">Q. You sort of addressed this in Season 5. Please clarify. If taking an innocent life will turn a werewolf's eyes blue, what defines a person as being innocent? Or is it something in the mind of the werewolf/werecoyote that causes the change?

<p class="MsoNormal">'''A. “It’s a darkening of the heart. Think of it more as spiritual.”'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. “Are there hard and fast rules for shifting fully into wolf form? Does everybody have to go through the “change” like Derek before they achieve this state?”

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “No hard and fast rules.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. Werewolf Aging – did you guys ever set a rule on this or is it just “very slowly?”

<p class="MsoNormal">'''A. “We’ve always thought that werewolves would age more slowly if you are a born werewolf. They also learn more control of their bodies.”'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. Do Werecoyotes have packs and Alphas too? Does the “draining the power of the mother” prohibit this in some way?

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “Yes they have packs.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. What creatures made up the Josh Diaz chimera? (Electricity Boy)

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “Eel”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. Hellhounds – Are they physical beings or do they just inhabit physical beings? How does that work? When the body dies, does the hellhound return to the Wild Hunt or just find another body?

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “They inhabit physical bodies.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. Werewolf strength – do they all just get stronger automatically with age or is it all about their experience?

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “Experience.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. The description of the primal pack as completely uncivilized and wild contradicts the observed behavior of the characters played by Michelle Clunie and Lucy Loken. Can you clarify?

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “Finch had left the pack because of their behavior.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. On Hunter culture, if the sons are raised to be warriors and the daughters are leaders, does that mean the marriages are arranged in some way?

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “No.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. How many Dread Doctors were there in total (Like, did one die earlier?)

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “More than three.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. Was the twin’s merged form exclusive only to them, to all twin werewolves?

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “Exclusive to them.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. Any lingering physical effects for Mason after his time as the Beast?

<p class="MsoNormal">'''A. “None. It was a like a dream.”'''

<p class="MsoNormal">Q. Why did Jackson retain some of his Kanima traits?

<p class="MsoNormal">A. “Because he’s Jackson.”

The Unanswered

 * On the heredity of pack leadership, how does inheriting the Alpha spark work within families/packs or does it not get passed down?
 * Packs make werewolves stronger - how exactly?
 * What happened to Theo's real parents? (Since the ones in season 5 were clearly not his parents)
 * What happened to Isaac after he went to France? (Did he join a pack?)
 * Who cut down the Nemeton?
 * Why was Jackson in the water in the first episode of Season 2
 * Is Deucalion a born or bitten wolf?

<p class="MsoNormal">If you have questions about the show that are not on this list, chances are the answer is somewhere in our encyclopedia articles. Ask in the comments, and I’ll try to direct you to the right pages.
