No 'Teen Wolf' in July?
All the heavy lifting is done. The final edit, sound and visual effects, and last-minute changes to dialogue for the final ten episodes of Teen Wolf are complete. In industry parlance, all the new shows are “in the can” and ready for broadcast. All that remains is for MTV to place the show on the schedule to broadcast, and, at this point, it appears that won’t happen in the next month or, at least, Teen Wolf will not be returning to its regular Tuesday night slot in July. There is simply no room on the MTV schedule for the show.

As it stands currently, MTV is running Fear Factor in Teen Wolf’s slot on Tuesdays. Fear Factor continues for several more weeks (into August) in the 10 PM slot. On July 11, The Challenge Season 30 returns with a preview episode and then the Tuesday 9 PM slot on July 18. It's in that slot for the remainder of the summer.

If Teen Wolf is to resume its Tuesday night position, be it at 9 PM or 10 PM, the earliest it could return would be August 8 when it could conceivably take over after Fear Factor ends. The Challenge usually runs 15 episodes, which means it will be there right through September.

There are, of course, other options –


 * MTV might change Teen Wolf’s time slot. They could decide to keep the show on Tuesday but push the time to 8 PM creating a full block of primetime programming.


 * Teen Wolf could switch nights again. Currently, MTV has their Teen Mom block on Monday’s. It is unclear when the current batch of that show will wrap (they seem to have an endless supply), but it should be in the next month or so. Wednesdays currently belong to Catfish, Thursday’s is something the network is calling “Comedy Block Thursday,” and Friday’s are for Ridiculousness, so there’s not much room for their only remaining drama.

To be clear. There is still no official debut date for Teen Wolf, but current evidence suggests we are looking at an August start to 6b.

MTV Has No Booth At SDCC
MTV apparently won’t set up its regular booth at San Diego Comic-Con this summer. Booth #3729, home to Teen Wolf and other shows like Shannara and SCREAM since 2014, will host Netflix shows when the ultimate pop culture convention kicks off July 20.

There may still be some Teen Wolf activity on the exhibitor floor. MGM and Fox Home Entertainment will be in their regular Booth #3529. In the past, they have hosted cast autograph sessions to promote DVD releases, but those were always facilitated by MTV bringing the cast to the convention.

In truth, Teen Wolf appeared on panels in some years when MTV did not have a booth on the floor. 2011, 2012, and 2013 there was no dedicated “MTV” booth in the Exhibitor Hall, but cast panels took place all three years. However, with less than a month left before the event, there’s no mention via either MTV or the various SDCC sources, and it seems unlikely we will see a panel this year.

The Last ‘Teen Wolf’ Convention

Howler Con held its final convention over the weekend. Much of the cast, current and former, were on hand in Elizebeth, New Jersey to meet fans for one last time. While this might not be the last Teen Wolf convention ever, it is certainly the last of what became the most unique and, to many, the most special of the many gatherings in celebration of the show. What makes Howler unique is its origin. Unlike conventions created by large companies simply to cash in on a show’s popularity, Howler developed out of two fans genuine love for Teen Wolf, its cast, and their fellow fans. This week co-organizer Amy Mancini posted a final farewell via Instagram.


 * “Bets and I would like to take this moment to thank you all. This weekend was a bit too hectic for us to able to actually sit down and talk about how much this meant to us or have a proper goodbye.


 * These past four years have been a whirlwind, and we will never forget a single moment of it. This cast, these fans and this staff, you all put your faith and trust into two fellow fans that wanted to start their own convention from the ground up.


 * It started as a thought and lasted four incredible years. We've met people from all over the world that have now become our closest friends, and the only reason we even got this far was because you all believed in us. We love and appreciate every single one of you, and we thank you for your continued support.


 * I'd like to leave you with this. This convention and this show might be over, but these memories and friendships will last a lifetime.”

Heathers Filming in Beacon Hills

<p class="MsoNormal">As we reported first several weeks ago, Beacon Hills is home to a new television show now, which, at the time, we couldn’t reveal. Now we can tell you which show is sleeping in Stiles’ bed and rearranging the books in the high school library.

<p class="MsoNormal">The Paramount Network is reworking the classic dark comedy Heathers into a TV series. The Production team is in full swing now at Teen Wolf HQ in Chatsworth. <p class="MsoNormal">If you’re unfamiliar with the original 1988 film, Heathers featured Winona Ryder as a reluctant popular girl who gets involved with a sociopath played by Christian Slater. A series of hilarious murders, masked as suicides, ensues.

<p class="MsoNormal">There’s some ironic thing to be said here about two 80s reboots filming on the same set but, unlike the Michael J. Fox Teen Wolf, Heathers is a timeless cult classic that is as relevant today as it was when it first hit screens during the Reagan era. <p class="MsoNormal">The Paramount Network is taking over SPIKE TV in the coming months, and we are told Heathers will be anchoring its initial lineup of original programming.

<h2 class="MsoNormal">Jeff Davis After ‘Teen Wolf’

<p class="MsoNormal">After shepherding 100 episodes of Teen Wolf to completion, Jeff Davis is trying to relax a bit. Unfortunately for him, there’s much work to be done on a myriad of other projects. <p class="MsoNormal">“I was just working with Andy (Cochran) on a draft of the pilot for War of the Worlds which we hope to get to the network soon,” Davis told me last week. WOTW is in development for MTV, but, with that network’s hard shift away from scripted programming, it is unclear where it will end up. <p class="MsoNormal">Another Davis project with an uncertain future is his vampire series which started life at A&E and then moved to TNT where they shot a pilot that was ultimately rejected. Davis is currently expressing renewed optimism about the effort and says there’s interest from other networks. “We’re closing in on a new, more suitable home for Let The Right One In,” he revealed. “Other than that, I’m trying to take a break!”
