With the second half of the sixth and final season of Teen Wolf set to premiere Sunday, July 30, we here at TOT thought that was the end. But MTV doesn’t see it as the ending. Per a report The Hollywood Reporter, MTV is already in early talks with series creator and showrunner Jeff Davis for a Teen Wolf reboot featuring an all-new cast and setting. The original cast could still to end showing up from time to time in the new series. Plus there are plans to have the current storyline move forward in a radio drama-style podcast.
“These characters and these stories have hit a peak,” MTV president Chris McCarthy said. “We are talking with Jeff about how do we actually keep that franchise alive. And the beauty of the evolution of media is you can see the series going on through a series of podcasts and then see a resurrection of a new class in a couple years. How do we keep this franchise alive in podcasts, in the spirit of Serial, and then how do we actually reboot an entire new class? Because the heart of MTV is around these timeless issues of young people and coming of age, but the timely piece will be the whole new cast, new set of issues and stories to explore through them. With ‘Teen Wolf,’ we have such a beautiful gem. And when you have a creator like Jeff that is such an amazing partner and the fan base that is hungry for more, we’re crazy not to. We want to give it enough time to let the series finale marinate a year or so, and then when we find the right story and the right cast, look to resurrect it.”
The final ten episodes of Teen Wolf find Scott and his pack on the eve of their departure for college, as they discover a new enemy rising in the shadows, which threatens the fate of everything they hold dear.
