 Faux News

After a month that saw the release of a couple of fake interviews with Teen Wolf Executive Producer Jeff Davis, Teen Wolf News is pleased to report that we actually talked to Davis this week as the production enters the final stretch of Season 5 and begins work on Season 6.

For those who may have been lucky enough to miss the faux interviews, they were amateurish and obviously fake but a number of people believed the bad info after the links made it to the top of Google News and some equally disreputable outlets quoted them. The childish fakery made the rounds at Teen Wolf Headquarters in Northridge, California as well, “Yes I saw those interviews,” Davis told Teen Wolf News. “They were hilarious.”

Needless to say, all the information included in those fake interviews was false, wrong or simply the result of someone’s wishful thinking. Ignore them all.  The End is Near

Here is the very latest, real, honest-to-goodness, truthful news from the Teen Wolf set this week -

Showrunner Jeff Davis and the rest of the Teen Wolf Crew are working overtime trying to wrap up production on the final Season 5 episodes. “We’re still dragging ourselves across the finish line,” he says. “I can’t tell you just how unbelievably difficult this job is.” They are supposed to wrap principal photography on Friday December 18 but, at this point, it looks like they may not make that target. “We’re currently shooting 518, 519 and 520 at the same time,” Davis explains. “We’re shooting first and second units, plus pickups.”

Davis says this type of aggressive shooting schedule is now more common with cable shows, “A number of shows do this, including Walking Dead. It’s the only way to get everything done with trying to make TV look like film on a TV budget.”  No Rest for the Writers

Even once they finish filming on Season 5, there won’t be any rest and relaxation for Davis. “There is no break. None!” He says.

Back in July, MTV renewed the show for another 20-episode season, Season 6. Davis says that means a lot more work for everyone involved. “Season 6A just started the writers room and we’ve hired two new very talented writers to help out.” The production schedule for Season 6 is not yet set but the group is already busy coming up with new threats for Beacon Hills. “We have ideas for several episodes already and the overarching theme and mystery of the season which I think could be very fun.”  Beyond Teen Wolf

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In addition to his duties as Head Writer and Executive Producer on Teen Wolf, Jeff Davis is also working on a new cable/horror drama. “I am currently working on Let The Right One In for A&E.” <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Davis and actor-screenwriter Brandon Boyce (Teen Wolf’s Surgeon) are working together to adapt a Swedish vampire story about a bullied teen boy who befriends a young female vampire. The story was originally a best-selling Swedish book by John Ajvide Lindqvist that was subsequently adapted into a critically acclaimed 2008 movie. <p class="MsoNoSpacing">We didn’t hear much about the project after the initial announcement back in March but Davis tells TWN that he’s busy working on it now, “Hoping to finish a new draft for them to read for the holiday.” <h2 style="padding:0.2em 0.4em; margin:0 0 -20px 0; font-family:Century Gothic,serif; color:#FF6600; font-size:100%; font-weight:bold; text-align:left;">
