 Teen Wolf Ratings Drop

We’ve already posted the numbers on our Teen Wolf Ratings page – but that overall total viewer number doesn’t tell the whole story.

The audience for The Dark Moon was what we’ve come to think of as average – right at 2.2 million people tuned in for it.

Entertainment news website The Wrap digs a little deeper and finds that show’s rating in MTV’s primary demographic (those ages 12-34) dropped significantly – down 17% compared to Season 3’s Summer AND Winter debuts.

There is some good news – the show won its timeslot meaning more eyeballs were watching Teen Wolf than any other show across ALL channels at 10pm and it was the top social show according to Nielsen’s Twitter ratings.

 Another Werewolf Show?

FOX Broadcasting is working on a pilot based on the Novel Red Moon (think True Blood but with Werewolves trying to mainstream both politically and socially).

With the "modest success" (read as: failures) of such high profile Lycan-themed shows as Bitten and Hemlock Grove, you would think producers would realize that the werewolf thing faces a very narrow path to the land of win.

A good sign that the Red Moon thing might possibly survive the "pilot failure gauntlet" is that the author of the book on which the show is based watches and enjoys Teen Wolf.

Benjamin Percy tells the Washington Post Style blog that Teen Wolf is smart, dark, and funny. He especially likes the violence that he says offsets how beautiful everyone in Beacon Hills seems to be.


 * “They’re pretty, sure,” he says, “but there’s plenty of nastiness in the show to offset the long eyelashes and pouty lips and waxed chests. People are torn in half, burned alive, tortured. It’s a far scarier and brainier universe than Meyer’s ‘Twilight.’”

Percy is working alongside Oscar Winner Akiva Goldsman to turn his book into a show – there’s no timetable for when the finished product will be out.

 Holland Roden Touts “Radical” Organization

Teen Wolf’s Holland Roden is part of a new campaign aimed at attracting teenagers to what many consider a radical, sometimes militant, animal rights and vegan group.

Roden did the piece to promote PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).



The video's narrow focus promotes the spaying and neutering of dogs in order to reduce the surplus population and cut down on euthanasia in animal shelters.

It’s supposed to draw Teen Wolf fans to the cause but the PETA organization’s larger mission is to get government to assign the same rights to animals as they do to humans and the group's prior recruiting tactics included terrorizing small children.

On the topic of euthanizing unwanted animals – PETA itself kills almost all the animals it rescues.
