 You Can’t Save ‘Teen Wolf’

Almost from the second that Teen Wolf News announced Season 6 would be the last for MTV’s Teen Wolf, we started hearing about grassroots efforts to get the network to reconsider. Unfortunately, as we’ve explained, MTV’s decision is part of a wider move away from scripted programming and back toward (cheaper) reality programming.

That fact hasn’t stopped some folks from blaming creator and executive producer Jeff Davis for the show’s planned demise. “Someone did Direct Message me on Instagram telling me to kill myself haha. I take it as a compliment :)” he wrote in a recent email.



Since it became clear that MTV is a dead end, fans changed tactics and focused on other networks that might want to pick up the show. While the future of Teen Wolf past Season 6 isn’t solely up to him, Davis says he’s heard the outcry from the fans. “I haven’t been looking online that much, but have heard there are a few ‘Save Teen Wolf’ petitions.”



In addition to the petition, fans are inundating Netflix Instagram with “pick up Teen Wolf” messages on every post single post. While the desire to save the show is understandable, Davis says the efforts to get Netflix or another network to pick up the show are likely fruitless. “I do not believe shopping the show to another network is a possibility,” Davis says.

He didn’t expand on that but, as Teen Wolf News reported earlier, the show is a joint production between MGM Television and MTV. The actual ownership of this current iteration of Teen Wolf is somewhat complicated. All the various powers involved would have to be on board with any deal which is, unfortunately for fans, unlikely.


 * EDITOR'S NOTE: There's a post going around that says Netflix is considering picking up Teen Wolf. Teen Wolf News can find no evidence of any communication from the streaming service to that effect. If there is a screenshot of Netflix suggesting they're looking at picking up the show, please share it in the comments.

 Teen Wolf Reflections

These videos of Holland Roden and Tyler Posey reflecting on their time on Teen Wolf and their character arcs are “new to us” in that they were filmed at San Diego Comic Con but were just released by MTV.



 Susan Walters Joins 'Flash'

Another Teen Wolf alum is heading to the DC universe. Susan Walters Natalie Martin has joined the cast of The Flash and will become Dr. Carla Tannhauser. She’s described as a world class biomedical engineer and CEO of a major research company and mother to Team Flash’s Dr. Caitlin Snow. The character doesn’t seem to appear in the show’s source comic books but was mentioned in Season 2 as Caitlin and her “Earth 2” doppelganger Killer Frost bonded over their mutually difficult maternal relationships. Tannhauser is described as a “frigid narcissist,” “cold as ice,” and a “bitch.”

The Flash returns to the CW for Season 3 on October 4.

<p class="MsoNormal">Crystal Reed – Too Late

<p class="MsoNormal">Crystal Reed’s movie Too Late hit iTunes this week. It’s been a while since she shot this one and it received a limited theatrical release on the festival circuit before finally going out to the masses. <p class="MsoNormal">Reed plays Dorothy, a missing woman that the main character private investigator is trying to find throughout the non-linear crime drama. The movie is said to present a picture of Los Angeles similar in tone, not quality, to Pulp Fiction and Boondock Saints. The few reviews we’ve seen suggest the film’s story is familiar and the movie’s production and presentation is a bit gimmicky.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tyler Hoechlin – Undrafted 

<p class="MsoNormal">You can now see Tyler Hoechlin’s long awaited baseball movie Undrafted. He actually shot this movie before he did Richard Linklater’s 80’s flick Everybody Wants Some!!, but Undrafted didn’t have the same directorial clout and didn’t get a wide-release. <p class="MsoNormal">Hoechlin plays Dell, one of several “undrafted” baseball players relegated to the “Rec League” in the sports comedy. Undrafted is available to rent or purchase via Amazon, iTunes Store, Google Play and YouTube.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hoechlin’s other baseball movie, Everybody Wants Some!!, is also now available on DVD and for streaming across all major platforms.

<p class="MsoNormal">Linden Ashby – Beta Test

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf’s best dad ever, Linden Ashby, plays the bad guy in the new sci-fi action flick Beta Test. <p class="MsoNormal">It’s a throwback to 80s and 90s movies where people use their fists and feet to settle complex issues and where the plot will always take the backseat to a good fight scene.

<p class="MsoNormal">You can read my review of the film and interview with Ashby over at Fandom.com.

<p class="MsoNormal">Beta Test is on iTunes and other VOD platforms as well as DVD and Blu-ray.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tyler Posey – Yoga Hosers

<p class="MsoNormal">Tyler Posey got to work with beloved auteur Kevin Smith on Yoga Hosers but you’ll have to wait until September to see the fruit of their creative loins.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hosers actually focuses on two young women, Harley Quinn Smith (Kevin’s daughter) and Lily-Rose Depp (Johnny’s daughter) as they face down sentient, Nazi, kielbasa. I kid you not. Posey is playing a douchebag high school kid in this one.

<p class="MsoNormal">Yoga Hosers will be on all the regular streaming platforms, DVD and Blu-ray on September 2.
