 Season 5 Production Preparations

Teen Wolf Headquarters in Northridge, CA is showing signs of life again. The folks in the Wardrobe Department announced their return today.



That’s Megan Smith and Daniel Flores part of the crew that does the costumes for the show. Danny added – “We're back! #teenwolf #teenwolfwardrobe #season5” to the post. This is not the first we’ve seen of the costumers this season; Megan and Head Costume Designer Barbara Vazquez have been spotted working on various projects at TWHQ since the first week of December.

Also back on site, Teen Wolf Production Manager Sam Childs returned to his office full time a couple of weeks ago. He’s responsible for planning out the season’s budget, scheduling filming days, locations and generally organizing everything that has to happen before filming can begin.

Actors are not back on set yet – there’s still a lot of work to do before they return. They do, however, have their first couple of scripts in hand.

And at least one of the writers, Angela Harvey, repeated today what we’ve been hearing for a while now – promises of a great season ahead.



For now all the action is in the offices and the writers' room. On set, the old props from Season 4 still lay right where they were left last summer.



Filming for Teen Wolf Season 5 is slated to begin within the next few weeks.

 Jeff Davis: KISS Fan?

There was a good bit of speculation after Jeff Davis released this image of the first Season 5 script. Some of our Teen Wolf Wiki contributors suggested it might be a Rocky Horror Picture Show reference but that is apparently not the case. That’s from Teen Wolf writer Eric Wallace who should probably know considering he works closely with Davis.

While there are a number of songs called Creatures of the Night, the most famous by far is from the band KISS. The album was not one of their most commercially successful efforts but is praised by critics.

Jeff Davis would have been 7-years-old when the album was released.

 Posey and the Power Ranger

A Power Ranger and Tyler Posey have a shared past.

It seems Jason David Frank (who played Tommy Oliver/Green, White, Red, and Black Ranger) was, once upon a time, little Tyler Posey’s Karate instructor. The pair reunited during this weekend’s Wizard World Comic Con in Portland, Oregon.

Posey added, “Finally got to catch up with a childhood hero and karate instructor! @jdfffn Good seeing you bud”

Frank says he enjoyed catching up with his former pupil, “I trained him when he was a little kid at my Valencia Rising Sun Karate school. It was good to reconnect and see that you are doing great.”

That’s Teen Wolf Extra/Stand-in Tyler Schnabel with them. He traveled with Posey to the con.

There was precious little news out of the one panel Posey did there. We did learn he’ll get a Producer credit for Season 5. It’s not unusual for actors of long-running series to get such a credit. It doesn’t mean he’ll actually be in charge of anything.

 Eye Candy DOA?

Eye Candy ratings are not good compared to Teen Wolf and other MTV shows. Now we get word that if the situation doesn’t improve, the freshman show will be a goner.



That tweet, from an official MTV Source, is unusual in that we usually don’t see this kind of “Save Our Show” stuff so early.

The Victoria Justice cyber-crime series picked up some steam in its second week. According to the ratings from Nielsen, they saw a 6% increase to 626,000 total viewers but still pulled just 0.24 in the 18-49 age demo which is the one that matters to most advertisers.

The series then saw a severe drop. Just 521,000 viewers tuned in for Episode 3 giving EC a 0.19 in the demo. That’s a series low and comes in under the show’s dismal debut audience of 589,000 viewers.

A side note for ratings geeks like myself – even when you break down the demos further, the show is falling across all age groups.

If that tweet is to be believed, MTV shows apparently DO live and die by the ratings numbers. While their parent company (VIACOM) continues to scold Nielsen about failures to properly measure a younger and increasingly mobile audience, the network is still slave to the old system.
