Tyler Hoechlin won’t be “Series Regular” in Season 5

Jeff Davis confirmed today that Tyler Hoechlin won’t be a “series regular” during Season 5. The word came on the eve of the show’s PaleyFest debut which Hoechlin won’t be attending. That fact, along with a lack of onset images of the actor, led many to jump to the conclusion that the Derek Hale character would not be spending time in Beacon Hills in the show’s 5th Season.

According to JustJaredJr.com, Jeff said “We talked and creatively agreed that maybe this was a good season to refocus on the teens of Teen Wolf, and while he won’t be a series regular anymore, I can say that you probably won’t have seen the last of Derek Hale. We love him and miss him.”



Teen Wolf Official at MTV echoed that tweeting "It's true that @TylerL_Hoechlin will not be a series regular in #TeenWolf S5, but that doesn't mean you've seen the last of him..."

Hoechlin will reportedly be pursuing more movie roles now that he doesn’t have the daily grind of making television.

In late 2014, he worked with director Richard Linklater on the 80s-themed baseball movie That’s What I’m Talking About which is set to be released later this year.
