You'll find a full chronological listing of the filming of Teen Wolf Season 3 right from the start.

 Another Tyler in Teen Wolf Town

Love or Hate – there seems to be no in between when it comes to YouTube star Tyler Oakley.

I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of him before he turned up at Teen Wolf HQ last week but he is apparently a big deal on the interwebs with more than three quarters of a million subscribers on YouTube.

Teen Wolf official released images of Oakley on a Teen Wolf Set over the weekend. Note that I said “a Teen Wolf Set” not “THE Teen Wolf Set”.

The shoot also included Actor Shantal Rhodes

The reaction from the fandom was instant and mixed as this random sampling from twitter shows.

If you’re among those worried that this pop candy popinjay is going to somehow stink up Season 3 – fear not.

According to what I’ve found they shot for two days on what was a temporary set within Teen Wolf’s offices in Northridge.

As far as I can tell, what they shot here was NOT part of a Season 3 episode.

A few obvious things make this clear. The poster of Scott from Season 1 on the set – that would be a bit too meta to be believed if it was actually on the show. The MTV.com cards Oakley is holding are typical talk show host accoutrement. Right after they finished, the set was torn down revealing not a sound stage but a regular business office. The actual Teen Wolf cast and crew were shooting Episode 311 in Griffith Park while Oakley was doing his thing elsewhere.

My guess, and this is only a guess, is that Oakley has been tapped to do some sort of interview show that will air online just before the Season 3 Premiere on June 3.

 STEREK in the Mainstream

Comic Book Resources contributor Anna Pinkert makes the case this week that non-cannon pairings and the massive amount of text and art they generate is good for the movie and television industry.

She singles out MTV’s embrace of the STEREK fandom as one of the examples of how some studios and networks are responding well to the phenomenon.


 * In August, MTV launched a contest for the best fanfic stories based on its Teen Wolf drama that was openly inclusive of slash pairings, including “Sterek,” the popular pairing of Stiles and Derek. The cable network is doing something great here, embracing the fans they have rather than fighting to maintain control over their stories and characters.
