'Teen Wolf' Season 5 spoilers: Cody Christian joins the cast; Focus to be more on character development than werewolf mythology
With less than three weeks left for the premiere of "Teen Wolf" season 5, fans are being bombarded with new reports and rumors about the series. Initial speculations about the upcoming season have been based mainly on fan theories, though the more recent updates appear to be coming directly from either the cast or those who have watched the first episode. Given all the plotline and casting rumors, "Teen Wolf" season 5 is shaping out to be the most exciting series yet.
In a recent article, Just Jared Jr. has claimed to have enjoyed an early peek of the premiere. He has teased that season 5 will feature storylines that are more concerned with character development than the werewolf mythology, which was the main focus in season 3 and 4.
What Just Jared says seems to make sense, given that the main characters in the upcoming season will be high school seniors. Season 5 is most likely to focus on the choice that the cast members will have to make: to move on with their lives or continue fighting supernatural beings.
In an interview with Hollywood Life, Tyler Posey, the actor who plays Scott McCall, has said:
"The characters don't know whether to focus on surviving and saving people, or to focus on getting into school at the same time because if they put too much focus on one thing, school's not gonna happen or someone's gonna die. What's more important, dying or school?"
Apart from the plot, key information regarding the new characters has been recently confirmed and the most exciting casting news is probably the inclusion of Cody Christian in season 5.
A report by KDramaStars.com claims that the "Pretty Little Liars" star will play the role of Theo, "a lone wolf who is looking for his own pack." While this is not the PLL/Teen Wolf crossover fans were hoping for, the show's long-time viewers are waiting excitedly to see how the new inclusion will play out.
"Teen Wolf" season 5 premieres on June 29, 2015 on MTV.
