Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes - AUGUST


Return To Main Behind the Scenes Archive

082913 - London Calling


I've been able to identify a couple more locations where Teen Wolf filmed this season.

One of my favorites was the power plant where the Darach took the History Teacher in The Girl Who Knew Too Much.

That was filmed at the Eagle Rock Substation in Pasadena.

This building was built in 1914 and it shows in every single detail. It's just amazing to me how much great design went into something that was purely functional and would have never been seen by the public at all while in operation.

Also, if you are a fan of Charmed I think they used this place in When Bad Warlocks Go Good but I don't remember for sure and I'm going based on a single internet reference.

The other very cool location they used just last week is an iconic mid-century modern home(circa 1960) in Granada Hills.

There is sooooo much to tell you about this house but I can't be 100% sure they've finished shooting there so the backstory will have to wait.

One final WTF shot from set for you.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes scary man with Axe August 13

I have no idea but it's scary as F and is toting an ax so KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Much of the cast is jetting off to the United Kingdom today for a special “Teen Wolf Only” convention this weekend.

@lindenashby - Going to London this weekend for #WOLFSBANE . I believe that by the time I come back, I'll be like Madonna and I'll have a British accent.
@MelissaPonzio1 - good morning...packing for #WOLFSBANE... so looking forward to meeting everyone there!! hope it's a great #teenwolf weekend for us all!!
@iamjrbourne - Night all! London bound tmrw!!

Here's the full line up for "Wolf's Bane" -

Also former cast members Sinqua Walls (Boyd) and Stephen Lunsford are announced guests. Apparently the organizers thought they would get Tyler Posey too but now say he’s not coming.

According to the organizers' website, many of the events are SOLD OUT so they should have a good crowd.

We've got more about the event and links to more information in the Teen Wolf News Archives.

082713 - On Location with Teen Wolf


There will be bunches of running around in the woods coming in the first episodes of Season 3(b). That’s not exactly shocking considering all the running and wooding this show does on a regular basis – but it gets me into these cool pictures from set.

These scenes were done over a couple days on a farm outside Thousand Oaks California.

Also just released – there were apparently some bizarre behind the scenes antics involving Holland Roden, Max Carver and Coach Finstock (Orny Adams) yesterday.

It’s been extremely hot lately at the Teen Wolf Studios and the air conditioning inside the warehouse where they shoot is less than adequate to the task… either that or Orny just wanted to play in a kiddy pool.


We also have some sure signs of Halloween.

A room full of pumpkins, decorations at Beacon Hills High and a rotting and moldy jack-o-lantern – perfect for a Teen Wolf Halloween.

Finally, Teen Wolf Creator Jeff Davis courtesy of Orny Adams' Teen Choice Award.

I had to blur part of the picture because that bulletin board has many, many pictures of Teen Wolf locations and set pieces.

082613 - Welcome to Teen Wolf: Doug Jones


Teen Wolf has sucked in another actor by being the nicest, most fun place to work in all of television.

Doug Jones started filming his bit for the Hell Night/Halloween episodes last week and he got the now customary, overly warm welcome to the family.

@actordougjones - @TeamAydia My first day on #TeenWolf I was greeted first by producer Christian Taylor, then actress Holland Roden. EVERYONE is so sweet!!!

If you’ve ever met Doug in person, you know he’s a hugger – so I imagine he fit right in with the very loving crowd in Teen Wolf Town.

We know he already had some scenes with fellow newbie Arden Cho and with Mama McCall Melissa Ponzio since they are all now members of the Teen Wolf Twitter Mutual Admiration Society.

@actordougjones - .@arden_cho is a delight to work with on @MTVteenwolf !! Get ready for her to knock your socks off!
@arden_cho - @actordougjones @MTVteenwolf amazing working with you also!! It's been fun so far! Can't wait till next week~~ it's gonna get crazy!!
@MelissaPonzio1 - hey @actordougjones i TOTALLY DIED to work with u!! #epicfangirl thank u for being so kind, sooooooooooo amazing during our scene. LOVE IT!
@actordougjones - .@MelissaPonzio1 LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! #Fanboyingrightback
@actordougjones - When you're working with @MelissaPonzio1 on #TeenWolf it's difficult to not fall in love just a little bit (Mrs. Laurie is fully award, btw)

As to the part he’ll play in Season 3(b), MTV says “Barlow” is a “known killer” and a “clown”.

@actordougjones - @ilyDepp Well I'm "A New" villain, but I wouldn't say "The New" villain. Keep watching, and thank you!!!

Jones' work on episodes 315 and 316, what we've been calling the Hell Night/Halloween arc, wraps this week.

@actordougjones - @bieberobriens I'll be all finished at the end of Wednesday. And thanks for asking!

Teen Wolf Season 3(b) debuts on MTV starting January 6, 2013.


082413 - Not So Quiet Set


It's been really quiet around the Teen Wolf HQ these past couple of days... too quiet.

Okay - that should read "It HAD been really quiet until last night" but anytime the TW production goes on location in a populated area they run the risk of fans finding them.

It happened last night in a Los Angeles neighborhood which shall remain nameless because I don't want them to hate me any more than they already hate me.

I will say this - there is a street in the general vicinity named "Gothic" which I thought was pretty cool considering they're working on the Hell Night/Halloween arc through next Wednesday.

Once the neighbors figured out they had Dylan O'Brien, Holland Roden and Tyler Posey on their street - they just had to share.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes Grenada Hills Hell Night shoot

There were some shots that showed a bit more but I refer you to what I said earlier RE: everyone at TWHQ hates me now.

I do have one more picture to share -

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes Dylan O'Brien Sloane Brown hell night shoot

Who is this chick? Seriously. Cause she's been on set twice now. First when they were shooting episode 313 and then again yesterday.

Her name is Sloane Brown. You type that into Google and you get a bunch of selfies of her hanging on some celebrities and a few shots of an English bulldog.

Youtube had this but it doesn't tell me anything either really -

What tha? I don't understand anything anymore. Anyway - she's on the Teen Wolf Set and we're not so I guess she's doing something right.

Prior to our Saturday morning leakage - Jeff and the rest of the producers had been keeping a tight lid on leaks while they shoot the Halloween Episodes.

While their lock down put the kibosh on most of our reporting - we did find this gem for you from Monday's MTV Teen Wolf Marathon.

In an unusual move, the network released this video on youtube so ERBODY can enjoy!

Not behind the scenes really but still... Linden Ashby is a funny, funny man!

Speaking of the finale - Gideon Emery has released some of the super secret behind the scenes photos from the finale shoot back in April.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes Gideon Emery Deucalion Makeup

They couldn't release these earlier cause it would have ruined the surprise of Deucalion's big transformation.

But they're out now and you'll find a bunch more over at Gideon's Facebook Page.

082213 - Hell Night


Teen Wolf HQ is bathed in black light as the production moves into their two episode Hell Night/Halloween arc.

Associate Producer Damon Jackson was testing out what appears to be some fluorescent make-up or body paint earlier this week while Tyler Posey simply let his smile brighten up the set under the special ultraviolet lights.

Jeff Davis did a LOOOOOOONG interview with AfterBuzz TV this week. If you can get past the interviewer's... um.... style (handicap) you can get some cool behind the scenes nuggets from the show's creator.


082113 - New BTS Video and More


Now that Teen Wolf is on hiatus, I can direct all my attention on Teen Wolf HQ and the Behind the Scenes stuff we love sooooooo much!

First up - a new video from the Northridge Studio where they shoot the show.

If you scroll down a bit you'll see the recent set visit by those budding internet stars with hashtags for names... twitter handles for names?

Anywho, one of them - @jccaylen - made this video of his trip.

I try to see all the Teen Wolf behind the scenes stuff and I can promise you that this is the best video of the Teen Wolf Studio that I've ever seen. Watch it!

Also from the Teen Wolf offices, we have this shot from Monday's Lydia After Dark live chat.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the scenes Michael FjordbakHaley Webb Melissa Ponzio Holland Roden Jeff Davis office

The chat was supposed to take place at the cast trailer area outside but apparently they couldn't get wifi in that area of the studio so they set up in Jeff Davis' desk in the Writer's Room.

Now to catch up on some stuff I've not had a chance to report.

Due to all the hub bub about the leaked finale and not wanting to draw more attention to folks watching the show early - I didn't report that most of the Teen Wolf Cast all got together in a screening room at Raleigh Studios to watch the last two episodes of Season 3(a) on Saturday night.

Also last weekend, Felisha Terrell and Haley Webb jumped out a plane to raise money and awareness of the crime of Human Trafficking. The charity raised more than $100 thousand.

And Haley just released a couple of behind the scenes images from the filming of The Overlooked and Lunar Ellipse taken back in April and May.

082013 - 1st Season 3(b) Scene Released


As part of their efforts to overcome the leaked episode and get fans to watch MTV live Monday night, Jeff Davis rushed a scene they shot two weeks ago into post production and rolled it out as a special bonus after the finale.



So Kate Argent is back for a hallucination sequence. Allison apparently trades in her crazy mom for her crazy aunt in 3(b).

081913 - Trail of Twinks


Teen Wolf HQ played host to a group of burgeoning internet stars today as @RickyPDillon @thats0jack @KianLawley & @jccaylen got a chance to be extras.

That's right, as far as I can tell these folks don't have names, just twitter handles but, hey, they're on the Teen Wolf Set and I'm not so they're doing something right.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes Russell Mulcahy

They do have about a half a million youtube subscribers between them so...

In particular you should be jealous of @thats0jack since he got to know Stiles' Jeep in the biblical sense - gettin' all up inside it.

081813 - Young Peter Hale Returns to LA


Young Peter Hale actor Michael Fjordbak returned to Los Angeles last night and quickly hooked up with Teen Wolf's Daniel Sharman.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the scenes Michael Fjordbak and Daniel Sharman

Fjordbak is coming off a week in Florida - there's no indication of what if anything his return to LA has to do with Teen Wolf.

Old Peter Hale... or I guess we could just call him "Adult" Peter Hale was also spotted with Daniel at a club called No Vacancy on Hollywood Blvd.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the scenes Ian Bohen Daniel Sharman Justin Levy

Also in this picture is a VERY IMPORTANT PERSON you might not know. That's Justin Levy he's an executive at MTV and was an integral part of getting Teen Wolf on the air in the first place.

No Vacancy is still considered one of the "new" hot spots having just opened this summer. Last night's entertainment included fire breathing and a high wire act.

And Papa Argent, JR Bourne, was also out and about in LA last night.

That fancy fedora somehow ended up in Ian Bohen's refrigerator later in the night.

081713 - Teen Wolf Actors say "Please Wait"


Many within the Teen Wolf Family took to Twitter on Saturday to urge fans to ignore the leaked episode and watch the Season 3(a) finale when it airs on MTV Monday at 10pm.

Some were downright belligerent about those "fans" who would harm the show so carelessly.

@IanBohen - If you watched the leaked finale n tweeted about it, unfollow me. You destroyed what we work tirelessly to make for everyone who doesnt suck
@IanBohen - And Thank You to all the True Alphas out there. Be patient. It's worth it. #TeenWolf

Others stuck with a positive tone but were no less urgent in their pleas.

@MelissaPonzio1 - would like to personally thank all @MTVteenwolf fans for waiting for #Moonday to watch #TeenWolf...means a lot to the entire cast and crew.
@iamjrbourne - Do what y'all do best!! Support and love! Watch w us live Monday night!!

Note how it is the more experienced cast members who truly understand the harm a poor showing in the ratings on Monday could do to the show's future.

Even actors who've moved on to another series understand the damage this leaked episode will do to the Teen Wolf Family.

@AdelaideKane - Don't watch it guys. Waiting is part of the fun ;)... #teenwolf #anticipationissweettorture #begoodlittlepuppies
@AdelaideKane - I'M SO PROUD OF YOU ALL! Special Cora wolf howl via twitter on Monday for those who watch on MTV! #pleasewatch #mooooooonday

Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 12 airs Monday Night at 10PM on MTV.

Also on Saturday - Ian Nelson found a little something from the Teen Wolf Set on his phone.

That's Nelson and Madison McLaughlin after filming those last scenes together from Visionary.

Paige never looked better!

EXTRA - A Plea from Posey and Dylan



EXTRA - A Plea from Jeff Davis


Jeff Chat Cover

Late on Friday afternoon, Teen Wolf Creator and Executive Producer Jeff Davis issued a statement and a plea in regards to the leaked episode.

Basically he says "watch the show live please" and urges you to do what we've been urging you to do - keep the spoilers to yourself.

Please read the full statement.


081613 Teen Wolf Whoops!


Seems I spoke too soon yesterday when I congratulated Jeff Davis and the Teen Wolf Family on their ability to put a lid on the leaks that plagued the set during the filming of Season 3(a).

Today - a full copy of Season 3 Episode 12 Lunar Ellipse was leaked to the internet.

It took about 20 minutes for folks to start posting information about the episode on this site leading us to shut down the forums until further notice.

This site will not report any actual scenes or events from this leaked episode and anyone who posts such information runs the risk of an instant and lengthy ban.

This will be your only warning.

It is unclear where exactly this came from. Some are saying iTunes but we've not been able to confirm that. What we can confirm is that some in the entertainment media got advance copies of the episode for review - but each of those should be numbered and coded meaning anyone who leaked it would be prosecuted.

On a much happier note - Teen Wolf Official released this new video of the cast members cutting up during some interviews.

Enjoy!


081513 Lydia to seek "Revenge"


While most of us just laughed at the amazing awkwardness of the Lydia/Peter scene in Alpha Pact some fans felt shortchanged by the interaction.

They took to the internet demanding that Lydia be given the opportunity to resolve her issues with the guy who bit/haunted/manipulated her in Season 2.

Teen Wolf Creator Jeff Davis contacted Hypable.com in an effort to keep the villagers from lighting up the torches and grabbing the pitchforks over what fandom perceives as his latest failing.

“I can respond to the Lydia/Peter question that the one scene in 311 is by no means the end of that story. My writers and I have laid out plans for plenty more to come in 3B. Lydia certainly deserves her revenge, doesn’t she? And we definitely want to give that story the treatment it deserves.”

You can read the whole thing over at Hypable.com including their wild (unfounded) speculations as to what "revenge" might mean for the characters.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Episode 12 Lunar Ellipse Early Release Disc


081413 3(b) Casting Continues


A name familiar to sci-fi and horror fans is adding Teen Wolf to their resume. Doug Jones will appear starting in episode 315.

Most folks know Jones from his performance in Hellboy - he plays aquatic hero Abe Sapien.

He's also under the makeup for the Volm Commander Cochise on TNT's alien invasion drama Falling Skies.

While his most notable jobs have him under makeup and prosthetic devices, you can see his true face weekly in the ABC comedy The Neighbors which is also about an alien invasion.

For more on what Jones will be doing for Teen Wolf check out the official MTV Show Blog.

Filming for Season 3(b) continues in LA and it seems Jeff Davis has finally got a handle on the leaks from set that frustrated him so much while filming 3(a).

There have been just a few set photos, some not so official, coming out of Northridge since they started filming two weeks ago.

But we have managed to find a little news as you can see in the stories below.


081213 Lydia's Mom Returns... for real this time


Last week, Linden Ashby (Sheriff Stilinski) got us all excited in anticipation of seeing his wife Susan return to Teen Wolf.

But he jumped the gun -

@lindenashby - @MTVteenwolf And yeah, I got it wrong last week (oops).. but TONIGHT Susan is in fact looking lovely on my favorite Monday night show!

Susan Walters, in addition to being Linden's wife IRL, plays Lydia's mom on the show but hasn't really had that big a role in season's past. Maybe that will change now that Lydia's been revealed as a Banshee.

Adelaide Kane (Cora) can't keep a secret.

You might remember she was in not one, but two spoiler images during filming of 3(a).

These pretty much gave away the fact that she would be joining the cast as a werewolf.

Today, she was dancing around some of her responses during a twitter chat with fans.

She first tweeted -

@AdelaideKane - I would also like to point out that I never said Cora died... #Moonday #nospoilershere #calmyourpants

That was followed quickly by -

@AdelaideKane - ...... Also never said she survives either. #mwahaha #halefamilyfeels #teasingbecauseofreasons

Yep, that is pretty clear.

080913 A Long Day for Arden Cho


Teen Wolf's newest cast member, Arden Cho, is filming scenes for Season 3(b) this week and getting the full effect of a "Teen Wolf Workday" which is, more often than not, about two days worth of work.

@arden_cho Great week so far, just wrapped a 15 hour filming day w/ @MTVteenwolf! Working hard & lovin every minute of it!!

We know Cho is playing a student with links to Asian mythology and will have an important role in the next half of the season.

It also seems the role will be a long lasting one with Cho telling one facebook fan "We are shooting from now until December~".

That time period would cover most if not all of the next 12 episodes - suggesting that she will be around for most of Season 3(b).

After this summer's run, Teen Wolf will return with new episodes on January 6th.


080813 The Twins' Fashion Shoot


The Carver Twins are featured in this month's Bello.

They offer up behind the scenes details from set and talk about what's next for them.

Oh Yeah! They also have a bunch of smoldering looks in their fashion shoot.

080713 The Stuff of Nightmares


The Behind the Scenes stuff MTV Official has released about the Darach is scary as hell.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes Darach concept drawing

I can't decide if it's the face, the tattered bondage wear or the combination that gives me that tummy rumbling "something wicked this way comes" feeling.

Check out more pictures in their full report over at MTV.com.

080413 Return of Lydia's Mom


A familiar face is apparently set to return to Beacon Hill's after a LONG hiatus.

Susan Walters who plays Lydia's mom and also happens to be the real life wife of Sheriff Stilinski (Linden Ashby) is reportedly in tomorrow night's show.

@lindenashby Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. Watching tomorrow nights ep tonight at Jeff's. A big afternoon/evening indeed!!! ++ I think Susan's in this one!


I wonder if she know's her daughter is a Banshee?

080313 Hospital is Tore Up!


If you've watched the preview for the final three episodes of Season 3(a) then you know Beacon Hills Hospital gets tore up in the coming weeks.

We got some behind the scenes images today that suggest it won't be repaired when the story picks up for Season 3(b).

Turkish actor Nihan Gur and her friend Alejandra were on the Teen Wolf set Friday goofing around in the hospital.

You can see the place is still wrecked from whatever is coming this week.

From what I understand, Gur is not actually on the show. She was visiting a crew member at Teen Wolf HQ in Northridge.

Friday also marked the end of the first full week of shooting for Season 3(b) and Asst Dir/Prod. Asst Jihad JZ Ziyad got special permission from Jeff Davis to release a single image from this week's shoot.

That's the school interior but it's not clear who's in the shot.

We're now one week into shooting - that means about 17 or 18 more weeks to go.

080213 Best Dressed Cast


The Teen Wolf team is looking very stylish in all the photo's from Thursday's Young Hollywood Awards.

They picked up the award for Best Ensemble and, according to MTVStyle, they win the award for Best Dressed too.

080113 Goin Back to Pali


Looks like the beginning of Season 3(b) will find us back in class at Beacon Hills High School.

Teen Wolf cast and crew are expected to return to Pali High School before classes there resume on August 13.

The signage is already up at the school awaiting the lights/camera/action.

And as you can see from the pictures - students have already started tweeting about the upcoming shoot - meaning headaches for the production as they try to keep order on the set.

080113 The New Girl Sings!


Arden Cho's been part of the Teen Wolf Cast for 24 hours and fans are already learning all sorts of stuff about this multi-talented actor/singer/everything.

She's got an extensive body of commercial work that's available on her youtube channel.

Also on the tube - she sings like an angel!


BREAKING NEWS: CASTING


Jeff Davis said during Comic-Con that he was casting an Asian-American actor for some episodes in Season 3(b).

Today we learned that actor will be Arden Cho.

Teen Wolf Season 3 Behind the Scenes Arden Cho cast image by Melly Lee

According to Jeff:

"We're heading into a new mythology based on the Kitsune myth, which some people might know a little bit about," he shared. "It is a very, very fascinating Japanese shapeshifter myth about the were-fox and the trickster spirit."

Cho's character doesn't have a name yet but we do know that she will be a student at Beacon Hills High School and that she is of Korean and Japanese descent.

Cho is pretty well established in Los Angeles and has enjoyed some success in internet programming and video games. She also did one episode each of Pretty Little Liars and Rizzoli & Isles.

Here is a sample of her work -

She starts off all sweet and "here, use this on your toe fungus" but then turns bad ass with bullets and stuff!
