 Hypable is Just SPECIAL I Guess

Maybe I should do a podcast. Maybe if I ramble on, talking to myself and speculating about the show, THEN I would get one of the frequent set visits Teen Wolf seems to dole out to everyone BUT me.

Alright – that’s it. I've rid myself of all my jealous sour preraisins.

Really though, a set visit is probably not a good idea. I have a feeling the only thing awaiting me at Teen Wolf HQ is a swift kick in the testes from a crew member or two for... oh, so many reasons.

The folks from Hypable’s Not Another Teen Wolf Podcast got to spend a day in Beacon Hills last week.

I can’t say theirs is a “great” article – not enough structure and too much fanfreakout – but there’s enough interesting stuff to make it worth the read.

Check out “What I did on my Beacon Hills Vacation” at Hypable.com.

The folks from NATWP also have a day by day recap of The Bite Convention you should probably read.

 The Video of Posey Dancing in Chicago

Lovely.

Posey Chicago Dance

This was at the little covered but still fantastic C2E2 Convention in Chicago.

 Teen Wolf in FORBES

You should never forget - Teen Wolf is all about money.

The reason they wear the clothes and drive the cars they do (with the exception of Stiles’ Jeep) is because of money paid by sponsors.

The reason you could only watch the episodes stream on MTV.com for free for a week after air is due to distribution through pay sites like iTunes and Amazon Prime – more money.

Most importantly – the reason Teen Wolf WILL get a 5th Season is because of money. The money Teen Wolf generates for MTV and parent company Viacom is substantial enough for Forbes Magazine’s Stock Speculators to take notice. The latest report from Forbes’ Trefis Team suggests the Wolf is a primary reason for network profits.


 * MTV will benefit from Teen Wolf and Teen Mom 2. Teen Wolf‘s ratings surged in the third season with 2.7 rating in 12-34 demographic and 3.1 million total viewers. Teen Mom 2 also premiered with 3.2 million viewers, ranking as MTV’s highest-rated series premiere in more than a year and has scored good ratings throughout the season so far.

They say the 20% bump in Viacoms bottom line is due mainly to MTV and Nickelodeon’s profitability.

 HEY Britannia!

Teen Wolf’s been off British televisions since Season 2 but that might change in future thanks to a first of its kind deal.

Viacom is spending 757 million dollars for control over British broadcaster Channel 5.

It's the first time an American company will own controlling stake in the country's broadcast industry.

While there’s no guarantee that Viacom programming will end up on the network, it certainly opens a door for such a deal in what is currently a wide open market for Teen Wolf.

The main reason for the move is apparently to add British shows to the Viacom pipeline, but the flow could work in both directions.

 More Scripted Fare for MTV

We talked about the MTV Upfronts last week and how “reality heavy” the MTV sked remains. This week the Hollywood Reporter points looks at it from a different perspective.

With the addition of a new, as yet untitled, sitcom – the Teen Wolf Network is actually about to double its scripted fare.

They say SCREAM (which has been, to date, just a whole lotta talk) is “prepping” and the other mentioned but not yet produced Shannara is “developing.”

In addition to Finding Carter which debuts this summer – THR talks about crime procedural Eye Candy and comedy Happyland as if they’ll be added to the TV guide any day now. Check out the full story at The Hollywood Reporter.
