 Teen Wolf News 030913



For all our Behind the Scenes Pics and Updates all in one place, check out our special Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes Page.

It's a full chronological listing of the filming of Teen Wolf Season 3.

 Jeff Davis is a Sneaky Little SoAndSo!

Earlier in the week, I mentioned over at our Behind the Scenes page that MTV Social Media Maestro Matt McDonough was heading out to LA and that the result of his visit would probably be some behind the scenes gold.

Sure enough he hit the Northridge HQ on Friday and just a few hours later he had Jeff Davis doing a surprise Q&A on Tumblr.

My first thought at the unannounced access was the line from that old Connect 4 commercial – “Pretty Sneaky Sis!”

Most of it was kinda silly. A lot of “OMG WE <3 YOU JEFF DAVIS” or “Stiles/Peter/Danny is the BEST EVAH!”.

Also, there were questions he’s already answered in earlier sessions.

There were a few tasty bits of new information.


 * Boyd might have had sisters. That’s it. Nothing confirmed.


 * Derek attended BHHS.


 * Killing Peter Hale “would never have been an option for Scott”.


 * Episode 305 is called “Frayed”.


 * Despite a report last week – Jeff says The Alpha Pack does not have Betas.


 * Killing off Victora Argent “was a very hard decision” but the drama it caused was worth it.


 * Jeff raises the possibility of new mythical creatures “we’re very interested in perusing the pages of the Bestiary.”


 * DNA BAD! “We stay away from talk of genetics usually. I like to keep things in the world of the mystical rather than the scientific.”


 * Will Derek go Full Alpha? – “When we can afford that level of CGI maybe. How about when we do the Teen Wolf movie?”


 * Peter already knows about Derek’s involvement with the whole Hale Arson Conspiracy.

There’s a bunch more (like all the cutesy stuff) over at Teen Wolf’s official Tumblr.

 Season 3 Production: By the Numbers

Teen Wolf Fandom is an impatient lot.

Right after the Season 2 finale, Jeff Davis did an interview explaining that Season 3 would take place 3 to 4 months after the events in Episode 212.

Some of the more excitable wolf pups believed this meant the show would start airing a few months after the finale – like in January.

I kept saying that would be impossible due to the fact that they actually have to film the show before they can show the show.

The most common response I got to that was “Nuh uh! Posey said they would be filming while the show aired!” In other words “I is smart and your argument is invalid!”

Now though, we can see what a long slog producing a TV show like Teen Wolf can be.



Davis and Family appear to be making good time as they churn out Season 3 episodes.

My best estimate puts the number days in production right at 52 (that’s giving them weekends and the 23 days they took off for the holidays).

So 52 days actually shooting the show – they seem to be wrapping episode 8 - so that’s 1/4th of the way through Season 3.

By my math - it seems to be taking them right at 7 days to complete principle photography on each episode.

Technically it’s like 6.5blahblahblah but you can give or take a day and the result is about the same - it will take them more than 100 days to complete the rest of the 24 episodes.

At this rate, and barring any more extended breaks, they should hit episode 12 by the middle of April (another 4 to 5 weeks) and will be up to episode 15 or 16 by the time Teen Wolf starts airing on MTV on June 3.

I know they film in blocks of three so the actual episode count varies but… oh whatever - it’s a rough estimate and close enough is good enough in this case.

 STEREK: All Hands on Deck

No… it says “DECK” – get your minds out the gutter.

The STEREK campaign put out a call to arms on Tumblr Wednesday.

The group has so far inundated the cast with cookies and brought in north of $10 thousand US for a wolf sanctuary. When they mobilize they can accomplish great things.

This time though they are asking their supporters to do a not so great thing – they want to win another internet-based fan favorite poll.

E! Online is doing a “Fantasy TV Couples Tournament”.

From the STEREK Campaign –


 * It’s been a while since we asked you, the fandom, to step in and start taking a serious interest in a poll. The last time we had a lot of fun tearing up the After Elton poll, where we banded together to succeed in landing ahead of all the other ships. We needed to make noise then, we needed to be heard, we needed the existence of our ship to be recognized.

In the first round Teen Wolf’s BattleShip STEREK faced Emily Thorne and Nolan Ross - a hetro/homo pairing from the ABC show Revenge.

Derek and Stiles strolled to victory with more than 66% of the vote.

You can see the final first round vote here – E! Online Fantasy TV Couples Tournament Round One.

There are many more rounds to come.
