At the time, Teen Wolf was MTV's only drama. The network wanted more episodes which resulted in the Season 3(a)(b) and Season 4 block being 36 episodes aired over 12 months. Now the network has another drama on the air and more in the pipeline which takes the pressure off Teen Wolf but they still want as many episodes as they can get.

They will begin production on Season 5 in November. There's no indication yet how the network will choose to air the 20 episodes.
