MTV ANNOUNCES FINAL SEASON OF "TEEN WOLF" AT 2016 SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON
HIT ACTION DRAMA SERIES TO PREMIERE SIXTH AND FINAL SEASON IN NOVEMBER,
CONCLUDE WITH 100TH EPISODE IN 2017
Stars Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, Dylan Sprayberry, Cody Christian, Khylin Rhambo
and Executive Producer Jeff Davis Tearily Thank Fans and Preview Exciting, Emotional Series Finale
San Diego, CA (July 21, 2016) - MTV today announced to a packed room of over four thousand, die-hard fans at San Diego Comic-Con that its beloved drama horror series "Teen Wolf" will conclude with its sixth and final season premiering in November. The series - which spawned a legion of fans, pioneered social TV, and made international stars of Tyler Posey and Dylan O'Brien - will draw to a close with a 20-episode season, ending with its 100th episode in 2017.
Tyler Posey, Holland Roden, Dylan Sprayberry, Cody Christian and Khylin Rhambo, along with executive producer Jeff Davis bid fans a teary-eyed thank you and previewed the final season with an epic -and unsettling- Season 6 trailer, available to view here.
"'Teen Wolf' has been an extraordinary journey, one that captured the hearts and imaginations of fans more than we could've ever imagined," said showrunner and executive producer Jeff Davis. "We're eternally grateful for the support we've received over these past six years and we're excited to take our brave fans on one last, thrilling adventure."
Today marked the seventh consecutive trip to "The Con" for "Teen Wolf" and, as always, the series' panel had surprises in store. Cast members Ian Bohen ("Peter Hale") and J.R. Bourne ("Chris Argent") jolted the cast and fans by thundering onstage dressed as Beacon Hills' newest villains: The Ghost Riders.
MTV also gave Comic-Con fans in the room an exclusive sneak peek at its forthcoming scripted series "Sweet/Vicious," a provocative scripted dramedy about sexual assault, consent and revenge on college campuses that will premiere alongside "Teen Wolf" in November 2016.
Starring Taylor Dearden ("Ophelia") and Eliza Bennett ("Jules"), "Sweet/Vicious" is an offbeat superhero story for the millennial generation. Hell-bent on bringing justice to those who get away with abuse on their college campus, Jules and Ophelia take on double lives as wannabe vigilantes. Filled with clumsy attempts and missteps, the odd-couple pair of antiheroes must balance their new secret life with best friends, parents, love interests, and the metaphorical monsters under their beds.
At the core of the f*cked up, hilarious, heartbreaking world of Jules and Ophelia is the heart of the show: two girls, who never felt like they belonged, finding a home in each other... and trying to kick a lot of ass.
MTV BOOTH AND EVENTS AT COMIC-CON
MTV's booth (Booth Number 3729) is offering the ultimate fan experience to badgeholders: an interactive "Teen Wolf" Virtual Reality activation. Fans will have the opportunity to interact with their beloved characters in a live-action scene and, using groundbreaking gaze-activated technology, influence the outcome of the narrative. The two "Teen Wolf" activations, sponsored by AT&T, will be available at the MTV Booth during Comic-Con days Thursday through Saturday from 9:30AM PT to 7:00PM PT, and on Sunday until 5:00PM PT.
Teen Wolf VR Experience: The Tunnels
· The fan is the focal point in this gaze-activated VR experience. Scott (Tyler Posey) and Lydia (Holland Roden) find the fan in the tunnels (the setting for Season 6) just in time to warn about an approaching Ghost Rider. The fan's actions affect how quickly the Ghost Rider makes the viewer disappear. This is the first up-close demonstration of the Season 6 villain.
Teen Wolf VR Experience: The Library
· In this gaze-activated VR experience, the fan is in the iconic Beacon Hills library with Malia (Shelley Hennig), Liam (Dylan Sprayberry), and Mason (Khylin Rhambo). As the characters interact with the viewer, he/she quickly realizes that something is wrong. The direction the fan looks will determine how/where items in the library begin to vanish... dropping a hint to the mystery of "Teen Wolf" Season 6.
