Teen Wolf Nearing Series Wrap

The end is near for Teen Wolf cast and crew. Executive Producer  Jeff Davis  tells Teen Wolf News exclusively that they expect to wrap production on their final episodes in fewer than two weeks.



The reality of this being the last season of  Teen Wolf  is beginning to sink in as actors and crew members scramble to complete the series. “We’re entering our last two weeks of production and still shooting three episodes all at once,” Davis says.

In addition to racing to complete the series, the production is also facing the exit of some of their primary cast members who’ve already lined up post-Teen Wolf jobs.
 * “It has been a nightmare of scheduling for our Assistant Directors who have had to wrap up certain characters due to schedules. We’ve called 'Series Wrap' on several actors already which has been a strange thing to hear after 100 episodes.”

They’ve already called “Wrap” on  Coach Finstock  with  Chris Argent  and  Theo  following close behind.




 * “JR Bourne is off to Vancouver to start his new series. Cody Christian is headed to do a movie. Orny Adams shot his final scene the other day. As did another character whose return I can’t mention just yet.”

Davis once again promised TWN that a number of familiar faces will be back in Beacon Hills for the series’ final episodes. He also says we’ll learn more about a few of them shortly.


 * “I can also tell you there should be an announcement or two coming relatively soon about 6B and who will be returning for our final episodes. More familiar faces than you might expect.”

Teen Wolf is set to return to MTV this summer.

‘War of the Worlds’ Advances at MTV

We’ll know soon if MTV President Chris McCarthy is serious when he says the network will continue with new scripted programming. Teen Wolf writer Andrew Cochran and EP Jeff Davis are advancing their War of the Worlds TV series to executives in a matter of days.



“Andrew Cochran and I are still working on the outline for War of the Worlds which we hope to hand into the network this week,” Davis told Teen Wolf News exclusively.

MTV started developing the series before McCarthy took over as President and before VIACOM CEO Bob Bakish declared the network would reestablish its core brand with more live and reality programming. McCarthy assured Variety that “Shannara Chronicles and the upcoming War of the Worlds project from the Teen Wolf team will remain on the roster.”

The Bakish plan also opens the door to other opportunities for Davis and other purveyors of scripted fare. VIACOM’s Spike TV will soon become “The Paramount Network” focusing on new programming. An internal memo from Spike President Kevin Kay described what’s to come.
 * “(The Paramount Network’s) focus will be on building distinctive, high-quality scripted and non-scripted original programming - with dramas, comedies, documentaries, movies, sports and tentpole events. It will also incorporate third-party programming, as well as films from other studio’s libraries.”

The prolific Davis says he’s already pitching the new outlet. “I have another project with Paramount TV with another former Teen Wolf writer that I’ll hopefully be able to say more on in March.”

In the meantime, Davis is wrapping up production on his current MTV show ''Teen Wolf. ''The final episodes begin airing this summer.

<h2 class="MsoNormal">Fans Demand Actors Return!

<p class="MsoNormal">Showrunner Jeff Davis continues to tease us with news that a number of former cast members will return for Teen Wolf’s final season. Teen Wolf News can’t tell you exactly who is coming back, but we did find out who fans say they want to see most in the show’s final episodes.

5. Kira Yukimura


<p class="MsoNormal">Arden Cho abruptly announced she would not return to Teen Wolf in a video after the final episode of Season 5. Her character, Kira, left the show to get her Kitsune lightning powers under control with the help of the skinwalkers, and we were told that could take decades.

<p class="MsoNormal">While it made narrative sense that she would not return immediately, fans still miss her:
 * I really want to see Kira back, because I want to learn what happened to her while being with the skinwalkers and see her in more romance with Scott. @Dani_Ropova


 * Kira, the show is lacking that comic relief she was so good at, 'Teen Wolf' just isn't the same without her. @StydiaUniteProj

<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, TWN has no evidence that Arden Cho returned to theTeen Wolf set at any time during filming for the second half of the season that began in October.

4. Danny
<p class="MsoNormal">Danny Māhealani was sort of a background character in Season 1, but fans immediately fell in love with the sometimes shy, gay kid portrayed by Keahu Kahuanui.

<p class="MsoNormal">He played increasingly larger roles in Seasons 2 and 3, but then abruptly disappeared from the show after revealing that he knew all about the supernatural goings-on in Beacon Hills. His disappearance is one of the major loose threads of the series, and one that fans want to be tied up before it ends.
 * Danny needs to come back because he literally just vanished without a trace! We saw him tell Ethan (Charlie Carver) he couldn't date a werewolf, revealing that 'Duh, it's Beacon Hills, no shocker about werewolves' but then that was it! He was just gone! No mention of where he went or why. This has been bothering me ever since. @ObsessStilinski


 * I would love to see Isaac back or Danny just because I don't think their story fully ended. @eohanlon4


 * I really want to see Ethan and Danny back on the show. Their relationship was so beautiful and so adorable that they deserve to end together. @LeviArtistt

<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve not seen Kahuanui around the Teen Wolf set at all since filming resumed in October. He also seems to be out of the country (in southern Africa) since January. This suggests he did not return to film Teen Wolf.

<h3 class="MsoNormal">'''3. Isaac Lahey''' <p class="MsoNormal">Isaac Lahey (Daniel Sharman) left Beacon Hills with Chris Argent after the death of Allison Argent. While Chris returned to help sort out trouble in Season 4, Isaac’s continued absence and whereabouts are never explained in the show. His story is also considered a loose thread for fans and one they want to be resolved before the end of the last episode.
 * Isaac Lahey, because he was such a great character and his development was amazing. His heartache after Allison passed away was so tragic, and I definitely want clarification if he's back on his feet or still affected by it. @Memssz


 * Isaac needs to come back. Aside from being Isaac, he needs to come back because he and Malia need to meet so they can finally fall in love. @sophie_debock_


 * They need to bring Isaac back! He was the first beta Scott ever had, and his character had a lot to offer! @htgawdbrv

<p class="MsoNormal">It’s hard to know exactly what Daniel Sharman is up to. He doesn’t do much social media and isn’t one to talk much about himself. We have nothing to suggest he returned to Teen Wolf, but also nothing to suggest he didn't. Hope for Isaac’s return remains very much alive.

<h3 class="MsoNormal">'''2. Allison Argent''' <p class="MsoNormal">Allison is dead, but death never stopped a Teen Wolf character from coming back to the show before. Both Peter Hale and Kate Argent managed to beat their apparent demise. While it appears Allison is really and truly dead, fans still want something more from the character.
 * Allison must come back because she was and still is one of the main characters and the heart of 'TW,' so she has to come back one last time for the finale as a new flashback scene or something. @juicemansblunt


 * We need to see Allison in some flashback, their fans need this, we know that's impossible for her to come back, but at least a flashback, please. @helpteenwolf


 * Crystal Reed because Scallison deserve to be endgame, Lydia needs her BFF back, and Chris never got the chance to finish Allison’s training. @Negar_Tavassoli

<p class="MsoNormal">Crystal Reed did return to the show for an episode in Season 5, but she was playing her ancestor. We’ve not seen Allison since she died in Scott’s arms at the end of Season 3.

<p class="MsoNormal">Crystal is also one who doesn’t overshare her personal life, meaning we don’t have any hints that she’s returned to film Teen Wolf. However, it appears she is available currently, so hope springs eternal.

<h3 class="MsoNormal">'''1. Derek Hale''' <p class="MsoNormal">Derek Hale is by far the most-requested former character. When we last saw Derek, he was heading off to track down Kate Argent. He'd just evolved to the point where he can turn into a real wolf and then he was gone.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tyler Hoechlin became one of two breakout stars from the series, but many feel his Teen Wolf story isn’t finished yet.
 * I need Derek back. The Scott/Derek relationship was such an important element of the show that, while Derek's arc came to a loose close in S4, I believe it's time for him and his story to come to a full close. @Mister_Nick_


 * Derek because he was so important to Scott and Stiles and he's such an amazing character, my favorite actually. @isafrias_


 * My first thought was Derek because — although he has nothing left to teach Scott — we are always learning new things and I think it would be perfect for one last life lesson. @NaomiMartiez

<p class="MsoNormal">We have many indications that Tyler Hoechlin will return to Teen Wolf for the final season. It’s unclear just how much he will appear, but Teen Wolf News feels comfortable reporting that we’ll see more Derek Hale when Teen Wolf returns to MTV this summer.

<h2 class="MsoNormal">Victoria Moroles Missed Most 6B Filming <p class="MsoNormal">It appears Victoria Moroles will have a limited role when Teen Wolf returns this summer. She was out of the country working on a movie during the majority of filming. Now, she tells the Hometown to Hollywood podcast that she’s auditioning for “pilot season” with no mention of returning to her role as Hayden Romero on the MTV series.
 * “I feel like I’m right back where I started because I was just filming a movie for almost three months. I took a month off for family. I came back here and pilot season started, and I had four auditions this week.”

<h3 class="MsoNormal">No Time For 'Teen Wolf'?

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf resumed filming on October 3, and we have a couple of images of Moroles on set on day one. At the time, the production mostly did pick-up shots and additional scenes for the first half of Season 6. Ten days later, Moroles was in Barcelona filming horror/thriller Down a Dark Hall. She remained abroad until late December and then returned to Texas.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life,” she says of filming her first studio film in Spain.

<p class="MsoNormal">While she was gone, Teen Wolf production continued without her. The cast filmed Season 6, Episodes 11–14, while she was out of the country. After a holiday break, filming on the show resumed in January as Moroles took her “month off for family.” She says she then got busy with "pilot season." Most TV networks audition actors for “pilots” in January and February.

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf is currently filming scenes for the final three episodes of the series with just two weeks of production remaining. It appears, from her schedule and her statements, Moroles is not working on Teen Wolf currently.

<h3 class="MsoNormal">Blame It On Barcelona

<p class="MsoNormal">Ironically, Moroles booked Dark Hall because one of the producers knew her from the work on MTV. “I was talking to one of our producers (on the movie), and she’s a really big fan of Teen Wolf. Which I think is just the funniest thing.”

<p class="MsoNormal">While the producer had the actor on her “list” of those she wanted to audition for the part, Moroles says she doggedly pursued the role.

<p class="MsoNormal">''“I read it. I fell in love. I said, ‘I have to be this person.’”''

<p class="MsoNormal">She pushed for an audition, booked the role and was in Spain a couple of weeks later. Unfortunately for fans, her big opportunity means less Moroles for Teen Wolf fans.
