I was shocked at the streaming numbers. 8 million per episode, 115 million total streams during season 4 which probably was a little subpar. If it keeps those numbers up, or even close, there may be more seasons. There are advertisers on streaming too, remember.

Here's the thing, we know Nielsen's rating is old, but for now it's still the standard, and that should definetly change. But it can still be used to determine how strong a show is, Walking dead still achieves 15 million on that rating, I shudder to think how much  it will be if you included streaming.

In the grand scheme of things though, teen wolf's rating is not that impressive, but that doesn't really have to do with the quality of the show (much), but more with the network it's on. Which is why it got renewed, it has pretty decent ratings for an MTV show. But Just to be crystal and perfectly clear, I AM DELIGHTED IT GOT RENEWED.
