 Season 6 Brings New Banshee to ‘Teen Wolf’

Teen Wolf Season 6, Episode 6 will introduce a new Banshee to Beacon Hills as Lydia goes in search of a way to bring Stiles back from Ghost Riders limbo.

McNally Sagal joins the show for Episode 6. You might know Sagal from her run as Margret Murphy on Sons of Anarchy or her more resent stint as Mae Stone on Secrets and Lies.

On Teen Wolf, she’ll play “Lenore” and is apparently a very powerful banshee. The actor described her bit on Teen Wolf in a recent interview with TVFanatic.com.
 * “I have a really fun role on Teen Wolf coming out in January. I get to play a super powerful screaming banshee…I can throw people across rooms and into walls with my voice. It actually was a very moving role and I had a blast doing it.”

Holland Roden mentioned at San Diego Comic-con that Season 6 would bring more banshee stuff. Unfortunately, for those looking for a deep-dive into the background of the screaming beauties, Jeff Davis says there won’t be much of that. “There is another Banshee but we don't really get into the lore that specifically.” As for Sagal’s take on the role, Davis gives two thumbs up. “Oh yes, she did quite well, really fun part for her.”

We’ll get to see two versions of Lenore, Sagal and a younger version played by actor Meghan McGarry. They were among a number of actors who auditioned for the role. Oddly, pages the auditioning actors read were not for the Lenore character. Instead, they read a scene as Claudia Stilinski from Required Reading in Season 5. The scene featured Claudia talking to the Sheriff about Stiles trying to kill her. Teen Wolf airs Tuesday’s at 9 PM on MTV and the MTV App. You can also get new episodes via iTunes and Amazon Video.

 The Final Five Episodes

While their studio was dark last week for Thanksgiving, the writers were still hard at work figuring out how to end Teen Wolf season 6. You can see Executive Producer Jeff Davis, with writer Will Wallace and co-executive producer Eric Wallace in this photo from the Teen Wolf writers’ room taken on the day before Thanksgiving. “We’re in the process of writing 615,” Jeff Davis explains, “plotting out the final five episodes.” Since resuming production on October 3, Davis and the rest of the Teen Wolf family completed several scenes leftover from the first half of Season 6 as well as episodes 611 and 612. Before the break, Tyler Posey, and Linden Ashby took over the director’s chair with episodes 613 and 614 respectively.The final five episodes they're writing now will wrap up the season and the series.

The production is filming scenes out of order but they work with blocks of episodes at a time which suggests they are not yet halfway through. They will also need to film all of episode 610 once Dylan O’Brien is available again. He’s  currently filming American Assassin  in Europe and is  expected to move on to South Africa for Maze Runner: The Death Cure in early 2017.

 Saintgnue Las Vegas Beating Case Update

There’s movement in Teen Wolf Cody Saintgnue’s assault case out in Las Vegas. As Teen Wolf News first reported, the actor was beaten by several casino employees as part of what he describes as a “shakedown” for money on his birthday back in 2014. Parts of the incident were caught on video tape. Saintgnue sued both the nightclub and casino as well as several employees. The case was originally supposed to go to trial this month but was delayed till February.

This week Saintgnue’s legal team submitted video of the incident as part of their motion for summary judgement on the claims of false imprisonment and battery. The goal is to give the judge this particularly damning piece of evidence which clearly shows Saintgnue being battered and held against his will by casino employees. <p class="MsoNormal">For their part, the casino claims through a filing that they have an “expert rebuttal witness” for that video tape. All those motions should be heard on January 9 in Las Vegas. Currently the trial date still scheduled for February 7.

<p class="MsoNormal">It appears Shelley Hennig is leaving Beacon Hills for a little while and returning to Salem where she got her start. Hennig is expected to return to Days of our Lives for at least one episode this winter.

<p class="MsoNormal">The actor got her start on the daytime soap opera in 2007 playing Stephanie Johnson. She stayed with the show until 2011. Now several sources say she’s coming back for another go. Hennig will reportedly appear early next year at the wedding of her TV parents.

<p class="MsoNormal">This shouldn’t interfere with her work on Teen Wolf as soap operas tend to shoot very quickly and can do an entire episode in a single day.

<p class="MsoNormal">The behind the scenes saga at MTV continued this week with another one of the guys who cancelled Teen Wolf walking out on the job.

<p class="MsoNormal">Network President Sean Atkins quit in a surprising move back in October and on Monday Atkins’ choice for MTV head of programming, Michael Klein exited the network as well.

<p class="MsoNormal">Both men were brought in under the regime of former VIACOM CEO Philippe Dauman. He was ousted in a nasty battle with the owners of the company back in the summer. Since then, VIACOM hasn’t really had anyone in charge. Three people held the title of CEO since August but none of them stuck and it seems everyone is just waiting for a planned CBS takeover of the company which could come before the end of the year.

<p class="MsoNormal">With chaos reigning at the upper echelons of the parent company, the folks running MTV seem to be scrambling. While Atkins and Klein spent their few months on the job cancelling the networks most popular scripted programming in favor of reality and music shows, the new head of the network, Chris McCarthy, is basically erasing everything they did. <p class="MsoNormal">McCarthy is the former head of LOGO and VH1 and he’s reportedly cancelled reality efforts Down to Earth, Prison High, Acting Out, Almost Impossible Game Show, Air Sex and Stupid Man, Smart Phone. New scripted fare, Loosely/Exactly Nicole and Mary + Jane are said to be in the crosshairs for cancellation as well.

<p class="MsoNormal">It’s unclear what exactly McCarthy has planned for the network, but his memo to employees about Klein’s exit suggest there is some sort of strategy within all the chaos.

<p class="MsoNormal">“''We’ve been discussing his (Klein’s) role these past few weeks, and it’s clear he signed on to the job under different circumstances to pursue a different strategy. I understand and respect his decision, and the work the development team has done in the past year. I want to thank Michael for helping me get up to speed, and for his efforts on behalf of MTV.''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Many thanks to the development team for its continued hard work, commitment and creativity in the meantime. We’ll have news to share soon about new leadership for programming and development. I’m confident that together we’ll continue to break new ground, connect with our young audience, and elevate our brand.”''

<p class="MsoNormal">It’s almost impossible for you to move through the world without making an impression. Even if it’s just on a cellular level, you leave bits of proof that you exist on everything and everybody you touch. This is what the Ghost Riders are up against now that Scott’s Pack is on to the fact that someone is missing. They’ve got Corey who can pull things back from wherever the riders take them and Lydia who’s banshee abilities are manifesting people to guide her where she needs to go.

<p class="MsoNormal">Both of those factors will come together next week when the Ghost Riders show up at the Lacrosse game and Lydia goes in search of Relics of her missing love. <p class="MsoNormal">Network Synopsis:

<p class="MsoNormal">Scott and Liam protect the lacrosse team from an attack by the Ghost Riders while Lydia searches for clues that lead her closer to finding Stiles.

<p class="MsoNormal">Relics airs on Tuesday December 6 at 9 PM on MTV and the MTV app. You can also find episodes on iTunes and Amazon Video.
