Production
Tyler Posey said in July that production on Season 5 was set to begin "in December" but their hiatus was extended.

On December 27, 2014, Davis released an image of the script for episode #501 showing the title Creatures of the Night with the caption "Back at it."

In January, Teen Wolf Writer/Producer Eric Wallace reported that season will begin airing in June of 2015.

Filming officially began on February 9, 2015 with studio shots at Teen Wolf Headquarters in Northridge, California.

The production officially wrapped Episode 10 on May 29. Actors and Crew are currently on a short hiatus. Writers returned on June 15 to begin work on the second half of the season.

Known Locations

 * During the first week of filming Season 5, cast and crew shot several days at Palisades Charter High School in Pacific Palisades, California. PCHS provides exteriors for Beacon Hills High School.


 * Production moved to the woods near Malibu Creek on February 18, 2015. This area is used mainly for exteriors in the Beacon Hills Preserve.


 * The following week found several cast members in a drained swimming pool/skate park called the "humpbowl" in    a quiet neighborhood in Winnetka, California.


 * They returned to Woodley Park on March 3, 2015. The athletic fields at the park serve as the Beacon Hills High School lacrosse fields.


 * Later that week, they shot a chase scene along the Los Angeles River near the 6th Street Viaduct.
 * March 24 saw a return to the  Mary Andrews Clark Memorial Home near downtown Los Angeles. The building serves as the exterior of  Eichen House  in the Teen Wolf Universe.
 * On April 23, the production moved into  the  Terminal Island Water Reclamation Plant  in San Pedro, California.

Funding
Just like Seasons 3 and 4, Season 5 will be partially funded by the State of California through tax credits available to television productions.

The funding will ensure that Teen Wolf will be filmed within the state of California and production on Season 5 will begin during the state's fiscal year 2015.

Teen Wolf will get $11,579,373.00 from the state to offset "Qualified Spending."

According to their application to the state, producers expect to spend $46,317,491.00 over the 20 episodes. They will film during a 183 day period, employ 5160 stand-ins and extras and 130 crew members. 20 actors are considered "cast." This includes the regular characters, guest stars, and minor speaking roles.

That puts the Teen Wolf Season 5 cost-per-episode estimate at $2.3 million.
