‘Teen Wolf’ season 5 (finally) official for 20 episodes

One of the worst-kept secrets in television is now finally official: “Teen Wolf” is going to be back for more. Not only that, but we also now know for sure that there will be a larger crop of episodes worth looking forward to.

MTV has confirmed that there will be a 20-episode fifth season, which will start with some new installments at around June of 2015. This comes after season 4 was only set for 12 episodes, which we feel must have been a nice reprieve for some of the cast who was feeling exhausted after doing so much work the first few years of the show.

So why bump up the episode count again? The simplest answer to that is just that there is enough of a demand in order to make it happen. The show has dedicated fans, and there are actors on here that are only getting more and more popular as time goes by. the only concern with a show like “Teen Wolf” is whether or not time is a friend of the series. By this, we mostly mean whether or not it is going to benefit from having its audience grow older. Teens / young adults are a fickle bunch that can quickly gravitate from one thing to the next, so it wouldn’t shock us at all if they all eventually move on to what they perceive to be the next big thing.

For now, though, the wolves will reign supreme in Beacon Hills for at least a little while longer. That in itself should be worth a few cheers.
