 TMI Jeff Davis, TMI!

If you you’re looking for spoilers about the second half of Season 5, you’re out of luck. We don’t publish spoilers here on Teen Wolf Wikia.

HOWEVER, Teen Wolf News is not averse to linking you to legitimate information provided by trusted sources and published on sites we actually believe.

The burst of spoilers came during Teen Wolf actors Tyler Posey, Dylan Sprayberry and Cody Christian appearance with showrunner Jeff Davis and returning actor JR Bourne at New York Comic Con on Friday.

Fans were treated to the first promo for the upcoming second half of Teen Wolf Season 5.



In addition to the new footage, we learned a great deal about the plot for the rest of the season.

We’ve collected most of the milder spoilers in this article - http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/10/10/video-teen-wolf-debut-jan-5-spoilers-3583316

According to his description, it’s like 7 foot tall and mostly computer generated (Like The Alpha Werewolf in Season 1 and the Kanima’s tail in Season 2).

Teen Wolf is moving to Tuesday’s at 9PM EST for the second half of Season 5 starting January 5.

Why? The short answer is “Shannara.”

The long answer is quite a bit longer.

<p class="MsoNormal">As Teen Wolf News reported earlier, MTV is gambling big time on their new “Sword and Sorcery” genre show. Just looking at the “Shannara” trailer (and the fact that they shoot the show in New Zealand) you can tell these elves and dwarves don’t come cheap.

<p class="MsoNormal">MTV, like any network, can’t afford to have another expensive show flop like last winter’s “Eye Candy” or this summer’s “SCREAM” because advertisers won’t pay the bills unless they can get a respectable number of eyeballs to watch live when the show airs.

<p class="MsoNormal">(Yes, I know they renewed “SCREAM” for a Season 2 but it was still a disappointment.)

<p class="MsoNormal">The bar for what constitutes “a respectable number” in the ratings is slipping ever downward across all networks as most people in the most favorable demographics stop watching scripted television live. Still, MTV would like to see “Shannara” break that trend so they’re pairing it, on the same night, with their most popular drama.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Teen Wolf” is still the network’s only real hit. While it has suffered in recent seasons from the overall trend away from live viewing, its audience is still bigger than all the other scripted shows on MTV. Using “Teen Wolf” at 9PM as a lead-in for “Shannara” at 10PM is pretty much the only play the network can make to guarantee at least some folks will be watching when the opening credits roll.

<p class="MsoNormal">Here is a decent article from a couple years back about the power of a good lead-in in network television.

What will the move to Tuesdays mean for “Teen Wolf?”
<p class="MsoNormal">Most ratings for the younger demographics (age 12-34) look better for 9PM shows than for those that air at 10PM. That’s not to say you can’t still have a hit at 10, but the numbers are higher earlier.

<p class="MsoNormal">Where “Teen Wolf” might run into trouble is with the competition at 9PM. NBC ratings powerhouse “The Voice” will likely return in late February and we’ll have to fight CW’s “iZombie” and ABC’s “Agents of Shield” for genre fans. Those last two aren’t massive live-viewing shows but it will force some fans to do the DVR shuffle to make room for “Teen Wolf.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Of course, we won’t know what the numbers will look like until the first episode debuts on January 5.

<p class="MsoNormal">On average, season to season, most youth-oriented shows lost between 20% and 40% of their live viewing audience since 2013. While there are a handful of shows that buck the trend with big live audiences, the overall direction is downward. <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;"> “Beaten Handcuffed Humiliated”

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf actor Cody Saintgnue (Brett Talbot) is sharing his side of the story about his lawsuit against the Mirage Casino and 1 OAK nightclub stemming from an assault by employees on his birthday last year.

<p class="MsoNormal">Saying that many of his fans have been asking about the lawsuit and the subsequent news coverage, Saintgnue took to social media to explain his side of the story.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I found myself in an unfortunate situation,” he says, “where the 1 OAK nightclub in Vegas/ The Mirage attempted to shake me down, and obtain more money for services not wanted or requested.”

<p class="MsoNormal">TRIGGER WARNING: This story includes descriptions of assult and the video that accompanies this story shows a violent attack. It may upset some viewers.

<p class="MsoNormal">Former Teen Wolf actor Gage Golightly Erica is, like, totally 80s in her new show.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Red Oaks,” available on Amazon Prime, is a single-camera comedy set at a country club in the 1980s. Gage plays “the hot girl” as you might expect. <p class="MsoNormal">Even though she wasn’t born until a decade later, Gage says she has an affinity for the time period, "My sister is 36, so that was her generation, and I was raised on it." You can check out more about the show and what Gage is up to now at this interview from Glamour.
