It’s Officially Summer – Where’s Teen Wolf?
The summer solstice passed over the northern hemisphere this week heralding the official start of the summer season. Many misinformed fans assumed that Teen Wolf would start when summer did. It did not, and there is, at this point, still no official word from MTV when the show will return.

It appears, while potential debut dates are floating around at the network, they still don’t know exactly when episode 611 will air. “I don’t think fans will have to wait much longer to see stuff,” Executive Producer Jeff Davis told Teen Wolf News on Wednesday. “I know it’s been frustrating, but it looks like we’ll have a firm premiere date and a trailer to show very soon.”

Davis would not commit to how soon is “very soon,” but, with the 6A DVD set to drop on July 18, we expect the debut to come sometime in late July or early August. If it lands on the July side of that line, the network should be releasing something in the next two weeks. If 611 ends up sliding into August, “very soon” could be a good bit further away.

“To be honest,” says Davis, “I think you know more than me at this point.” One thing we are sure of, no one knows when the show is returning. Several internet sources and apps are putting out various dates, but you cannot believe anything until you hear it from one of MTV’s official social channels.

Bootleg Bloopers
While the Teen Wolf Season 6A DVD is not set to drop for another month, some folks apparently got advanced copies this week.

A series of bootlegs of the 6A blooper reel are popping up everywhere. VIACOM is knocking the better quality versions off the web pretty quickly, but you can still see some of the “hey I just pointed my phone at my laptop screen” copies.

It is unclear why certain Teen Wolf fans already received the DVD, which is slated for a July 19 release.

Dylan’s Red Band Trailer
Teen Wolf’s Dylan O’Brien is a complete bad ass in the new “Restricted” trailer for American Assassin. Screen Rant sums up O’Brien’s powerful performance.
 * “Dylan O’Brien’s Mitch Rapp comes off like a cross between Jack Ryan and John Wick as he simmers with rage, spars with Keaton’s character and eventually locks horns with the movie’s villain, a mysterious character named Ghost played by Taylor Kitsch.”

We would normally call this type of promo a "Red Band trailer." However, since this film is apparently not yet rated, they're using the more generic "Restricted" designation, which indicates violence and language concerns for younger viewers. American Assassin is set for a September release.

FOX also just screened a preview of Dylan’s turn in Maze Runner: The Death Cure at CineEurope, but there’s been no descriptions or details published around that just yet.

Teen Wolf Too Old For Teen Choice?
The answer to the question posed in the headline is apparently “NO!” Most all the nominees that share categories with Teen Wolf are super long in the tooth too. In the Sci-Fi Actor category, Dylan O’Brien faces one of the brothers from Supernatural – 12 seasons and counting - along with actors from other multi-season shows. The youngest show in the actor category, Shadowhunters, just wrapped its second season.

There are a couple of young shows over in the Sci-Fi Drama Category. Freshmen entries Stranger Things and Timeless landed noms, but the category again is dominated by older shows, Teen Wolf, The Vampire Diaries, and Supernatural.

With Teen Wolf and TVD ending this season, what shiny new thing is on the horizon for teen genre shows? Will the Teen Choice folks branch out and sample more from the world of live streaming? Freakish on Hulu should probably get a nod at some point, but there’s just not that much out there to replace these long-running shows.
