Synopsis[]

Scott McCall is bitten by The Alpha and turns into a werewolf. He then must learn how to balance being a werewolf with his normal life, including his love interest, Allison. Finding out who the Alpha is and killing him was a huge point in the plot of Season 1.

Production[]

The show was in development starting in January 2009 with Davis hired by MTV to come up with an ongoing series about a teenage werewolf.

In August 2009, based on the strength of Jeff Davis’ script, the network ordered a “pilot presentation” or short pilot episode as a proof of concept^[1]. Casting was complete in December 2009 ^[2] and filming of the presentation began shortly after in Atlanta, Georgia.

It wasn't until a year later, November 2010, the network ordered a full 12 episode season and production on additional scenes for the pilot and the rest of the episodes began in earnest.^[3]

Most of Season 1 was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia. There were a few "pick up" scenes filmed around Los Angeles.
