Hello there.
I really should be working on my deep dive into the Teen Wolf Hellhound.
But I have pretty major news about the new Teen Wolf Movie.
Also, I’m doing a thing on the new show Wolf Pack which isn’t related at all to Teen Wolf.
I’ll explain that later in the video. Skip to 5 minutes and 36 seconds if you want to go there now.
But Don’t panic, I’m not going to blah, blah, blah before I tell you the new information.
I just say that if you want to keep up with the latest developments on the Teen Wolf movie planned
for Paramount Plus in 2022, you can subscribe and I’ll provide you with that here on the channel.
Today’s news is simply this: when ViacomCBS executive Chris McCarthy
worked his miracle and made the deal with MGM Studios for the new Teen Wolf
Movie, he also built in the option for two more Teen Wolf movies after the first one.
Bill and Ted: No way.
Rufus: Yes way.
You heard right, we could be looking at three Teen Wolf movies in the coming years.
My ViacomCBS source on this is the same one who let me know two weeks
early about the movie deal, so I know this is true.
As I said last week, they’ll only make more if the first one is the most popular thing
on Paramount Plus next year, but now we know they don’t have to renegotiate for a new license
if they decide to do more Teen Wolf after the 2022 movie.
John Davidson: That's incredible!
I know! I was surprised as hell he even got the deal for one movie
which could obligate Amazon to license a valuable property to a competing streaming service even
after they buy MGM. I never dreamed Bezo’s and Amazon could be obligated
possibly for years with Teen Wolf after Amazon takes over.
And I’m super happy to be wrong in this instance.
So, three movies are possible. But you, me and the rest of the Teen Wolf Fandom
will have to do all the work to make those two additional movies happen.
In that vein, I’ve been seeing a lot of “If so-and-so isn’t in the movie,
then I’m not watching!”
[baby crying]
Heavy: All of you are babies! Entire team is babies!
This attitude isn’t going to cut it. If you ever even hope to see
your favorite character again, all of us, and everybody you know who enjoys Teen Wolf
has to sign up for Paramount Plus when the movie comes out.
If you already have an account, bite the bullet and open
a new one but wait until the movie comes out.
Pay that 10 dollars or whatever for one month right when the Teen Wolf movie is released.
Even if they offer a free trial, use the free weeks and then pay for the full first month.
ViacomCBS will judge the success of the movie based partially on how many
existing subscribers watch it. But they’ll gauge interest in making more Teen Wolf
based on how many new paying subscribers the first movie draws to the service.
If you need proof of that is how it works, just look at how many Star Trek shows there
are right now. There are four different series exclusive to Paramount+.
The reason for this is simple. After they launched Star Trek:
Discovery back in 2017, the streamer went from about
1 million total subscribers to more than 10 million subscribers the next year.
At 8 million dollars an episode,
Star Trek was a stretch of their resources that paid off big time in new revenue.
But, at the time, they didn’t have the resources to further exploit all that audience interest.
Now, with the full resources of a much larger company, they can exploit that intellectual
property to its fullest and we’re seeing that with the glut of boldly going shows.
I’ve gone down a rabbit hole here. The bottom line is this - if you want more Teen Wolf after this
first movie – you will pay the 10 dollars for a new Paramount Plus subscription and watch the movie a
bunch of times and then wait until the very last minute of that month to cancel your subscription.
While they’re saying that they’re bringing back Teen Wolf just because we
asked them to, the fact is they’re bringing it back because they think interest is high enough
to make it profitable. We have to prove to them that Teen Wolf is very profitable.
For literally the cost of a night out at the movies, you can get a
couple months subscription, and the payoff for the Teen Wolf Universe could be huge.
Imagine a world where there are four Teen Wolf shows running at the same time.
It could happen but our fandom has to mobilize on this first movie in the largest possible way.
So, spread the word. If you want more Teen Wolf. Sign up for Paramount Plus when the movie comes out
in 2022 because the network is ready to make two more Teen Wolf movies if the first one is huge.
Okay, let’s talk about the other thing, the Wolf Pack thing.
You need to know that this show has nothing whatsoever to do with Teen Wolf.
It is in no way related to the Jeff Davis Teen Wolf Universe.. except they share the
same god and by god I mean Jeff Davis who is writing and executive producing both shows.
But Wolf Pack is a brand new show based on an entirely
different universe that has nothing at all in common with Teen Wolf.
Well nothing beyond Jeff Davis and Werewolves… Okay, I can see how that might be confusing.
Let me start at the beginning. I’ve launched a Wolf Pack Wiki sight so you
can read a lot of this stuff for yourself. It’s linked above and in the description.
In 2004, a Canadian author, Edo van Belkom, wrote a book about
a forest ranger finding a group of orphaned wolf cubs in the aftermath of a wildfire.
He took the pups home and they turned into human babies.
Surprise!
Now they’re four teenagers going to high school and struggling with teenage problems
while also being werewolves.
Okay, the comparisons with our show are obvious. But, I trust Jeff’s skill to generate
a very different universe with new myths and new creatures that will amaze and delight.
In the meantime, I could use your help with the new Wolf Pack Wiki.
I have not read the books so I am at a huge disadvantage.
I thought, well, I’ll just buy the books but the prices on Amazon are outrageous.
So, if you were a Canadian teen in the mid-2000s and already read this book or
have access to a library that has the book, I’d like you to help me better
understand the characters for the new Wolf Pack Wiki.
You can reach out with a private message on Twitter or Instagram
or through the Wolf Pack Wiki site which is linked in the description.
And I promise I am still working on the hellhound thing.
That’s the next video when I go back to Beacon Hills.
