Jeff
Davis’ MTV hit supernatural drama Teen Wolf has returned for its third season,
with 24 episodes scheduled to be released. This new season of Teen Wolf picks up four months after the events of season
2 and will introduce a new alpha threat that our stars must address.
In an
interview to collider, Jeff Davies talked about the characters, the story, the
alpha pack and season 4.
Excerpt:
“Collider:
How would you say the characters are different this season?
JEFF DAVIS: I think they’ve all grown.
They’re juniors now. They’re all a little bit older and a little bit
wiser. They’ve all dealt with tragedy, in a way. They’ve seen
people die. They’ve seen people resurrected. I think it’s left them
reeling a little. It’s left them hoping to get back to normal life, which
unfortunately doesn’t last very long, in our world. Relationships have
been broken and new relationships are about to start. It’s very much like
teenage life, in general. It’s emotion-filled.
…
What
can you say about the overall story arc that you’re focusing on this
season? Are there any specific themes that you’re exploring?
DAVIS: Well, the arc has to do with the
temptation of power. This pack of Alphas have all gained their power
through not so benevolent moves, and they’re gonna test a lot of people.
We like to think about it in the writers’ room as a season about how you rise
to power. A great quote from Winston Churchill is, “The price of
greatness is responsibility.” It’s another way to say that great Stan Lee
quite, which is, “With great power comes great responsibility.” The
leader of the Alpha pack wants to turn Scott and Derek against each
other.
…
How
did you go about putting this Alpha pack together? Did you know exactly
the types of characters you wanted, or did you cast actors and then develop the
character personalities around them?
DAVIS: Well, we did know all the characters we
wanted. I knew that for Kali, we wanted a villain that was elegant and
beautiful, and that could use the claws on her toes as weapons, in a very Bond
villain type of way. I knew that we wanted a sophisticated, elegant, but
also very brutal and strong and powerful leader in Deucalion. And then,
we waned the twins and this other brute force in Ennis. All that was
pretty planned, and we couldn’t be happier with the casting. The people
we got to play those characters are incredibly nice people who are all so
talented. Gideon Emery is phenomenal.
When
and how did you develop the twin transformation?
DAVIS: That came out of two things. I’m
an identical twin myself, and it came out of ideas I had about that. But
also, doing them as one twin was a thought I had, in terms of just cutting down
time in the make-up chair. We didn’t have to put either Charlie or Max
[Carver] in the make-up. We could put it on a stunt double, who is a
bigger guy, and have him sit around in make-up while they’re just wearing eyes
and teeth. So, it was partly out of necessity, but it was also very
cool. We could have this big, brute force of a monster, lurking around.
…
Are
you already starting to plant seeds for Season 4?
DAVIS: Yes, we are. We actually know a few things that will
very likely happen at the end of Season 3B. We do plan ahead, especially
on this show that hinges so much on mystery.”
